Sorry... i didn't mean the code from above but the concept of passing the messages you don't want to filter or treat...

def event i
m = @midiInput.to_array
if (m[0] == 144) || (m[0] == 128)
output Midi.new m[0],m[1],m[2],m[3] if m[2 ...

... I mentioned that streaming midi event (notes, pitchband, mode-wheel) through a Ruby based midi sequencer cause the pitchband and modewheel commands to disappear. If you try to connect your midi hardware straight to project's main midi output with an additional input link (to capture the ...

I couldn't get my tablet's browser to translate the page... There's a contact page, try that.

When you say your plan is a Windows tablet... not sure how that would work if it a usb device instead of a host.

The external problem we've been talking about goes away, but I don't know if Flowstone ...

There's a device on this page (in spanish) that looks like it's the very thing. Can't find any others besides the big box ones you already know about.

Maybe something like this? http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/connecti ... usb-cable/

I think they can turn off new users on SM... you can't even dl program anymore so why would there be new users?

Then they need to put up a better skull-testing question up here and change it once in a while. Maybe it could rotate randomly with each registration...

Thanks... while I still don't understand everything about what's going on at least I know where to look.

It's useful to be able to name connectors, not only for readability (so it's clear what the data represents)
but also because in the case of input connectors the label can be used within your Ruby code as a
variable or as a reference to an input.
That made perfect sense when I red it the first ...

you mean, this karplus thing is something else? Karplus Strong is a method of generating a sound. It takes a burst of noise or other complex sound and simplifies it over the duration of the envelope as it is fed-back through a delay.

My first post was three different suggestions.. which I did not ...

Actually joejoe's explanation is essentially what I was trying to say in my comments about using a low-pass scaled and tied to an envelope generator but he just did a much better job of it.

Karplus-Strong is a really cool algorithm for making plucky sounds but it's likely not what you were looking ...
