How to Add Daisy Support to Max/MSP gen~

[@suisjefou]

Hello, I think it is very very (veryyyyy) crucial to make a simple tutorial to just plug a potentiometer to the breadboard and make it correctly control anything on the patch. I struggle doing it reading everything on forums trying to make my own json. But even with the pod I think it is very important for your platform to show people what to write on the param of the gen~ to make the knob control things.

[@electrosmithco]

We greatly appreciate your feedback. Yes! A video on this topic is much needed, and we have been wanting to make it soon.

[@roberto4312]

Yes please, this is absolutely needed here too!

Im so excited for the JSON video for Max MSP coming. I would love to see how to hook up a switch, button, fader, knob, (analog vs digital inputs) etc. and even use i2c ports. I guess just an entire "Inputs" video for Max MSP in gen~ would be wonderful. Again, congrats on being picked up by Electrosmith, brother.

[@electrosmithco]

Thank you so much, Michael! Definitely, we're planning on making the hardware input video very soon! It'll open up a lot of possibilities for sure. I hope you look forward to it!

[@MikeHudsontek]

Second this!

[@BenWakefield]

Me too, but for PD! Having a lot of trouble integrating my PD patch with custom hardware inputs (potentiometers, switches), look forward to the vid, maybe I'll switch back to Max!

[@electrosmithco]

@@BenWakefield Planning on that also for sure! I hope you look forward to it.

@@electrosmithco Still waiting

[@MatheusLeston]

Oh my, I've been waiting for this kind of tutorials for so long! I have a few seeds here that I just never used. Also, +1 for another video describing how to configure the seed to use with knobs and buttons and such!

[@electrosmithco]

The wait is over!! Thank you for watching, Matheus. I hope this video gave you a bit of a sneak peak on custom hardware configuration. We'll work on that video very soon.

Thank you so much Takumi! This content is great. Daisy community seems to have new energy with you around! I’d love to see Oopsy midi demonstrated and also expression pedal in examples! Thanks again!

[@electrosmithco]

Thank you so much for the kind words!! Tutorials on MIDI + Daisy would be fun and helpful for sure! I appreciate your request!

[@claudiocontardi206]

Hi, thanks for the video. It would be nice to see a video on how to use libraries to make a synthesizer for my students. I stay tuned! Thanks again! professor Contardi (electronics teacher in technology school)

[@electrosmithco]

Hello professor Contardi! Yes, we are planning on diving deeper into that topic in future videos! Please do keep us posted about the classes by the way! We would love to see student projects.

[@RedmotionGames]

Great video! I sort of gave up trying to use my daisy seed because I simply couldn't get an LED screen to work! (The one used with an Ornament and Crime). I'd be so grateful if you could do a tutorial about how you got that screen from the beginning of the video to work? And how to use it in conjunction with PD? (live display of waveforms and/or text readouts?) Thanks!

[@electrosmithco]

OLED tutorial video would be helpful! I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future. Thank you for your suggestion, Jason! I'll most likely make that tutorial when the OLED is supported for pd2dsy (it's supported for the other languages though!).

[@pixelfrenzy]

How about doing this for Pure Data? Is it almost the same process?

[@electrosmithco]

That'll be the next video actually!! The process is going to be different from this, so we'll cover the steps in the upcoming tutorial. Thank you for the wait, Chris!

[@ShihWeiChieh]

hi is anybody knows can I send audio stream from max/msp and having real time audio outputs from Patch SM? thank you.

[@electrosmithco]

If you want to input sound from Max and manipulate it on the Daisy, that's totally possible! I saw your joining the Discord so please feel free to ask other questions over there :)

[@ShihWeiChieh]

@@electrosmithco thanks! Yes I’m asking around there too!

[@markparfitt]

to get started with this setup do I need an unsoldered or soldered daisy?

[@electrosmithco]

Just for blinking the onboard LED like in this video, you can get the unsoldered Daisy Seed and start right away. But once you start making sounds, you're going to want to solder header pins to the Daisy if you do end up buying the unsoldered version. This tutorial (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpacqoiipbZseJo) will give you an idea as to how a soldered Seed is used for outputting sound out of an audio jack.

[@MikeHudsontek]

Still waiting for that custom JSON file tutorial 🙂

[@electrosmithco]

Hi Mike! I'm sorry it's taking a while. If you want to learn how to use JSON now, please do join the Discord server. I made a whole thread on it for people who wanted to learn while the video is being worked on.

[@androvisuals6863]

For anyone coming here in the near future. Great video to get it connected and to get a LED light flashing but that's it for now. Due to there not being a video on how to set up the daisy seed with the custom json file you won't get any further here on youtube. In the comments below it says there's a whole thread for it over on the discord channel but the link doesn't work, I also couldn't find anything on the forums. I'm basically trying to get a simple sine wave to output from the daisy seed that's got an audio output jack, the simplest hello world with no knobs or buttons.

[@electrosmithco]

Hi Andro! We're planning on uploading more videos, which include audio I/O and custom hardware configuration. In the meantime, please feel free to continue asking questions over on our discord server or forum, and I will be there to answer questions as soon as possible. Thanks!

[@electrosmithco]

As for just outputting audio, you can select "Pod". I see on the thread that you made over on the daisy forum that this did not work for you so let's troubleshoot together there.

[@bonaventura_AKA_ben]

A GREAT idea for a video: use the oopsy_pod template in Max and step-by-step show what all the elements in that patcher do and how to use this template. All I get are feedback, a whine, and a bunch of hiss. I'm learning how to use Pd, Plugdata, Arduino IDE, and Max 8, but it would help GREATLY to go through oopsy_pod template for all us newbies. Please

[@electrosmithco]

Pod is a great reference for learning about Daisy I/O for sure. Even if you have Daisy Seed for example! Quick overview videos for each board would be a great resource to have! I saw in the forum that you were able to solve that oopsy issue! :)

[@bonaventura_AKA_ben]

@@electrosmithco If this is Takumi, thank you sensei :} I feel a bit frazzled trying to put all the various elements (learning Pd/Max/Arduino) together. I admit I was a bit disappointed that there is no Quick Start or any Docs at all on the Pod. There is a ton of info on the Daisy environment in the wiki but it's like living in National Treasure trying to piece it all together! Even an 'intro' video on using the Pod with Max/oopsy and explaining the pod template in detail would help tremendously.

[@electrosmithco]

@@bonaventura_AKA_ben Yep, it's Takumi! I read your feedback on the forum as well. I appreciate your input. One thing that'll help in general for you to consider is that Daisy Pod is an extension of the Daisy Seed. Pod is pretty much Seed with a breakout board that has potentiometers, switches, and etc. So all those general tutorials can be applied to Pod and other target boards. That being said, yes, there should be a starting guide doc and video for oopsy and hardware. Stay tuned!

[@elipagnani4553]

Any word on whether RNBO works on daisy?

[@electrosmithco]

RNBO doesn't work with the Daisy at the moment.

[@mcjaggertyson6444]

Does anybody know if Daisy works with Gen rather than Gen~?

[@electrosmithco]

It'll only be for [gen~]. I doubled checked by having only a [gen] instead of [gen~], and I got an error.
