An audio-visual performance written in Web Audio and Web MIDI by Boris Lechelt (@bonotes), Kahlil Lechelt (@kahliltweets) and Jan Monschke (@thedeftone) for JSConf.eu 2015.
Go to http://nestedloops.github.io/jsconf-2015/, plug in your Launchpad and jam :)
Also have a look at the code or only mappings.js to see which key maps to which functionality.
Disclaimer: As most of our side projects, this project suffered from last-minute code hacks, we apologize sincerely ;)
Start in index.js which loads all video clips and then initializes the MIDI device. The MIDI device is accessed in controller.js and only supports Launchpad devices for now. Each clip is mapped to a specific key in mappings.js. Check that file to learn which key is triggering which video clip. Make sure to check out videonode.js to see how to load and play video files with zero latency. You will notice that there are some other clips in the mapping as well. Some can be used to influence the visualisation, some are used to stop playback and some influence the intro / outro.
All samples are taken from publicly available talks.
