This is a handy interface to the pattrstorage preset system. Use in a bPatcher in the top level patch or as an abstraction. You need to use mp.assignment to assign keys or other controllers to cue up and select presets. You can interpolate between selected presets using the interface on the top right of the patch. mp.assignment is included in the zip.presetManager

To do;
Create a more sophisticated interpolation and automation through presets.

Mac OSX Version 1.d
This system was developed for the AHRC research project Inflecting Space.
As part of our data gathering we have been devising a sound installation/voice experiment called Vocal Ikebana.
This tool was developed to make documenting the experiment quick and efficient, however, it has been designed such that it can be used for most timelapse or stop_frame video projects.

Instructions

1. Choose dimensions of video to record
2. Initialise the camera
3. Decide if you want to add date stamp to the video.
4. Setup grab schedule or choose a key on your keyboard to grab a frame when you like
5. Setup output format. Video formats range from web optimised to full quality DV.
6. Click write to choose a place to write the file.

Features

• Audio cuing during automated grabbing
• Time and Date stamping directly to the video optional
• Grab a frame every 1- 59 seconds
• Stop after any number of frames
• Calculates how long the video will be at your chosen frame rate
• Most output video codecs supported
• Grab frames using asci keyboard.

This is a simple but useful abstraction that helps you to time events in an installation or other context. The example included with this abstraction shows how to control the master amplitude of an installation.  The abstraction listens for events, waits a certain amount of time without events, if that time has passed, the installation amplitude fades out.

mp.assignment is a fiddly little bpatcher that allows you to connect any input device and assign it to whatever you like. Behaves in a similar way to midi learn functions in software like Ableton or Logic. Because it is tied into the pattrstorage system, the assignment can change dynamically. This means a parameter in max can be controlled by any input device and this can change during performance or if you have different input devices available on different occasions, or if you decide you don’t like the mapping you originally designed, you don’t need to edit the patch just make a new preset for it.

lock your patch, click on the mp.assignment bpatcher, it will go red. Move a fader, joystick or keyboard and the input device has been assigned.

Requires tinpark_alphabet.txt to work. This is included inside the .zip file above.
