What this does: Lets you use your mac's trackpad as a midi controller.
- Install requirements with
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Open up GarageBand or Logic with a Software Instrument track
cd miditouchpad
and then runpython play.py
and drag your finger along the trackpad
The default MidiPad maps the x-position on your trackpad to notes, and the y-position to velocity (loudness). It also has a few options for specifying exactly which notes are played:
- Play notes in D major:
python play.py --notes D
- Play notes in F# minor:
python play.py --notes f#
- Change which octaves are included:
python play.py --octaves 4
- Change the latency:
python play.py --latency 0.3
