Hi
Is there a midi multi purpose piece of software out there ?
I own a TC. NovaSystem and want to hook it up to such a device, to see
if it's possible to control it from the computer.

Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but SuperCollider will allow
you to read MIDI, OSC, HID, wiimote etc events and write scripts to
handle them in any way you want to, for instance to send out new MIDI
or OSC events or generate sounds directly.

Hi again
What I'm looking for is something where I for a start could make let's
say three knobs, assign two to select up and down, and the third to be
select of the actually number, and send it out to my external device in
realtime.
I have Pure Data installed but I can't figure howt to do exactly that,
maybe I'm not thinking right ?
Can you give me a hint to get me started ?

Ardour can do such things with MIDI-Devices and some mixers but it needs
a signal from a controller to assign a slider to it. So, if you have a
device, that can only recieve events, you'd need some
controller-hardware to trigger the sliders in Ardour. Then it should be
possible to send messages to your recieving device, even if the
controller is not connected anymore - I never tested such tricks though...

PD is a programming-language it does not offer pre-setted modules like a
slider, that can be mapped intuitively to a MIDI-channel. You can add
sliders easily in PD but to make them do something usable takes time and
knowledge.
You can do everything you ask for and much more with PD but you need to
learn how PD works and also you need in-deep knowledge about MIDI,
ALSA-MIDI and your device itself.
The same goes for csound, faust, clam and some other audio-oriented
programming-langs popular under Linux.
I think, it should be stressed, that PD and its kind is NOT a simple,
fast solution for users, that are basically musicians used to software
that resembles real instruments in a intuitive GUI.

Hi
If you want to control every parameter in your NovaSystem, you'll have to
read the System Exclusive specs and make a PureData patch to handle working
with these bytes. I've only experimented a bit with PureData and to me it
looked hard
to use it for such a task.
To control my MIDI hardware, I've written drivers in Java for JSynthLib. (I
guess that's your best bet too.)
First I had to write drivers to support getting and sending patches from and
to the MIDI device (library support),
then for each type of patch, I've written an editor using the by JSynthLib
provided sliders, combobox, knob, etc .
Now certain parameters, that could only be set from the front panel or via
System Exclusive messages, can be controlled using normal MIDI CC# : my
sequencer (or hardware midi controller) sends MIDI CC to JSynthLib,
JSynthLib translates it to sysex and sends it to VirMidi (virtual midi
port), VirMidi is connected to the hardware synth's MIDI port in QJackCtl.
I'm still looking for feedback on the jsynthlib wiki (
http://jsynthlib.wikispaces.com) so if you want to try writing NovaSystem
support for JSynthLib, be welcome with questions or remarks about the guide
there.
PS: I had a brief look at the NovaSystem's manual (
http://www.tcelectronic.com/novasystemmanuals.asp), and didn't find much
info about the System Exclusive specifications. You do need it if you need
more than just program change messages.
Cheers
Peter

Hi Peter
Thanks for your comment on this. I've looked around too, thinking I
could implement such things in a program language. Actually I thought of
testing a little in Python without knowing much of the language. Earlier
I have made small apps in Shell C and Ruby, so maybe the jump to Java
isn't too hard at all. I'm aware that I have to contact TC to get some
information regarding the midi signals used in the pedal. I'll give it a
try to see if I'm up to the task getting the basics right, thanks.
