With something like SuperCollider, Pd or Chuck you can
create something that
takes MIDI or gamecontroller input to start and stop tracks. You might even
get an external USB number pad to do that.
I know, I did that with chuck. My main issue is that I have no visual
feedback. I assigned track on/off to qwerty... but have a hard time
remembering what track is on "q" in this particular tune. Also I cannot
see if track "q" is running or not.
But I just got an idea: Would it be possible to do keyboard -> pd ->
chuck. Keyboard could be both laptop keyboard and midi keyboard, pd ->
chuck could be via osc. PD could (maybe) provide visual feedback and
either be controlled directly with mouse or be a slave interface
replicating what-ever comes in from keyboard or midi. Would that be
possible?
SC and Pd are pretty stable, but I also have seen
people do live performances
with Chuck. For all three goes, (I think), if you have it running stable at
home during rehearsals, you should be fine during the performance.
Maybe you're right.
