Thank you so much, this stuff is sort of esoteric and hard to find comprehensive videos on such topics.

[@fffrain5513]

wow.. I am trying to imagine what could be done using one of those mocap sensor suits with this pipeline

[@uisato_]

Amazing things, I'd bet.

[@saifff1]

@@uisato_ Hi, I got the PN pro mocap system. Do you think it would be possible to connect one sensor (say X translation) to the entire note ribbon(keyboard) on ableton?
I don't know how to put it in correct technical words. Say if I move my palm from left to right, it would play the notes or chords based on the location of my palm sensor. Is this making sense?

crazy

[@hyde2416]

Why my tdAbletonPackage look way more different than you.. i cannot find those options and values in mine.
Wish i could send you the screenshot here.

[@uisato_]

You can send me a screenshot through IG if you want.

i have a macbook pro m1, is there anyway to do this on mac? using a different device (not kinect, it doesn’t work) for tracking.

[@uisato_]

From what I've read there's a way to make Kinect work on Mac. I would delve into that first.

[@by.daekeryyy]

@@uisato_ hi, i guess you're talking about synapse but it can't be downloaded anymore or you are talking about using bootcamp unfortunately the m1 chips do not have bootcamp :( i hope you're talking about any other way xd

[@uisato_]

@@by.daekeryyy Ohh, that's a bummer. I was talking to a patron the other day and he told me that he was using bootcamp I think. I would advice you to still looking for a solution on related forums, there's always a way around these kinds of issues.
