NodeRed dashboard OSC to sonic

nodebutton

Continuing from my previous post, I thought something more useful might be possible. The above node-red example creates a web based dashboard button. This sends the message in the OSC example input in sonic-pi tutorial. Hit the button and it plays the tone. Question is… what would be useful to put in a dashboard that could run (on any lan based system) to send controls (to sonic). Would this have any real use? Something like a drum input board, or volume controls, maybe? Does anyone have any suggestions…?

i don’t know node-red. Does this is the interface to click on ? The button ?
yes it can be used to launch a loop via a sync osc message or to build an web interface to control sonic pi.

May give a try…

in the example, when i pressed the dashboard button it activated the tone in the sonic-pi receiving OSC example in the tutorial. Import the code below into node-red…

Just found that node-red has a midi interface, it connected successfully with sonic, though that’s as far as I’ve got so far - no sound out yet. Too much to try at once.

you will have to get feedbacks and code for all your researches :slight_smile: sonicipi code with node-red code

I have a midi keyboard - on entering a key it outputs a midi message containing [note, velocity]. On release it sends [note,0]. I found this out by using a node red midi-in to debug. (this is on my pi c.local (a v3))… sending this to sonic on g.local (a pi v4) allows me to play the keyboard into sonic-pi (via midi via osc) . Then I added some buttons to the node red dashboard for a few notes demo.

live_loop :listen do
  use_real_time
  a,b = sync "/osc*/play_note"
  if b
    if b > 0
      synth :prophet, note: a, velocity: b
      #synth :hoover, note: a, velocity: b
      #synth :blade, note: a, velocity: b
    end
  end
  else
    puts " b is null"
  end

I can now hit one of the buttons on the node-red dashboard (needs formatting to look like a keyboard) or play on the real keyboard. Here is the node-red code :-

Interesting thing is that the dashboard could be anywhere that supports a browser( mobile, tablet…)
