New subject: Python and MIDI orientation for a project

3 Aug 2009

Hi Harry.

It's curious... you got the point I had in mind :)
My main idea is to extend the configuration dialog so that, same as
you can map wiimote keys/events to keyboard keys, you could map
wiimote keys/events to CCs helped by a select box with a list of
available CCs; first maybe a usefull and comprehensive subset and then
the whole set in later versions.
Maybe we can add the "advanced" section as well. But first I'm trying
to get information about the other topics on my list :)

Thanks Harry.

  Hey Carlos,

 Python & the wiimote is a nice combo, i've played with it and midi a little
 too..
 Not at all familiar with desktop applet coding, so ill leave that to the
 pro's!

 As far as the "what midi CC bindings" are useful, could you put in a
 "Drop-down-box" or "Entry-Box"
 for the CC's? Because there will always be some use for it. Perhaps have an
 "Advanced" section, in
 which one can manually type the CC Numbers, and have the "Simple" section
 up
 with a drop down of
 the most common CC's?

 Becuase I can really see the use of having a wiiMote around for debugging
 audio/midi progams with you applet.
 It would mean you could easily send any Midi CC's to a program using an
 "Easy-Access" unit. (IE: pick it up, use it,
 not like a keyboard where you'd spend time mapping a key to a different
 MIDI
 CC etc)

 Hope the project goes well for you, once im home ill check how much is done
 and where to get the Alpha release.. ;-)
 -Harry

 Hi folks.

 I'm cooperating with a friend and fellow to improve his project
 related to wiimote.

 The project is Wiican[1]. In short, it is a tool (a system tray icon
 actually) that makes it easier to connect the wiimote and configure
 and create key mappings for use at your will. It's written in python
 and uses bluez, hal with dbus, wminput and cwiid.

 My goal is to add some layer in such a way that you can map wiimote
 events to MIDI.  And maybe, to include it on the next improved release
 of Musix.

 So, in adittion to my researches on the subject and what I already
 know about MIDI CCs and so, I would like some advice and guidance
 about how to:
 - implement MIDI in python (which CCs are a must for you, create and
 send MIDI messages, libs, bindings, reference projects),
 - implement Jack and Alsa MIDI ports in python (libs, bindings,
 reference projects),

 ... and every other interesting information or experiences on this.

 Thanks in advance.
