Let's make this into its own thread.

Jan - what kind of MIDI - OSC would be useful for you? I can see using
something like that myself, so maybe we should brainstorm on features.
Would you want MIDI channels 1 - 8 mapped to DAC channels 1 - 8?
Choice btw. note on/off messages and ctrl messages?

that would be excellent. Or another feature with 4 x Polyphony + 4 x Gate
Or Gate / Trigger switchable

That would be fine :-)

here's a basic M4L patch that someone's done: http://www.cycling74.com/forums/topic.php?id=24080

So, just to get it straight in my own head, Max for Live patches only
work if you own Ableton and M4L?
It seems like I could just build MIDI in to the Octomod Processing
interface, and then it'd be cross-platform. Some people are using
linux, and there's no Max/MSP solution for them.

Correct.

hi Greg, yes: you need to own both products & then you can use M4L
devices & create new ones. The jury is really really out - it has many
painful limitations at this stage. I only bought both Live & M4L
because of a very discounted upgrade offer.

& yes, sticking MIDI direct on to the octomod would be a great idea &
for x-platform users - also, sometimes you just want to send a signal
(0 or 127) & don't need lots of resolution. As long as you don't think
it's spreading your invention too thin... Yet another alternative
could be to translate MIDI to osc in the processing app that drives
the octomod

When I made a simple MIDI i/o for my arduino - as you might expect - I
used the tx & rx pins on the mc board. Not sure how that maps onto the
teensy.

PS. PJRC said that they dispatched my teensy yesterday so supplies are
indeed flowing again...
