Dynamics with movement
Control expression, modulation or other CCs via height, tilt or position. Ideal for performative automation when importing.
Ben's Toolbox Motion for iPhone
Movement becomes musical control.
The iPhone Motion app sends motion, AR position, and activation gestures to the Mac app. There you decide whether it becomes CC1, CC11, Pitch Bend, vibrato or an articulation function.
The assignment is in the macOS app. This allows new mappings to be created without changing the iPhone app each time.
Activation gestures
One axis can first activate another. This means that not every small movement immediately affects the sound.
Sinus vibrato
Pitch Bend can be generated as a clean sine curve. The movement determines the intensity, the curve remains musically even.
Motion mapping in the Mac app
| Source | Target |
|---|---|
| Sensors | Direct, fast control for CC1, CC11, volume, filter or other MIDI controllers. |
| AR position | X/Y/Z spatial movement for slower, absolute controls or activation gestures. |
| Pitch Bend | Manual bend or sinus vibrato with definable rate, attack and activation condition. |
