Screencast 2: Grimonium powered Animata

Clearer Quicktime version here: box.net/shared/static/x4qq3q1p1c.mov

This example shows how I'm using Animata with Ableton Live, Reason and Processing. Hope you like it.

Grimonium is here: processing.grimaceworks.com/grimonium (you might want to grab the source from GitHub and do a bit of hacking since it's not exactly consumer-ready yet..!)

Couple of notes:

I get confused around 11:46 - to clarify:
Live transmits MIDI note data on on IAC Bus 1. This MIDI data is then received by BOTH Reason AND Processing. Thus Reason can respond audibly and Processing can convert (based on the content of mappings.xml file) the MIDI to OSC data for Animata.

The keen-eyed among you might have noticed that I triangulated the drummer's arms in the wrong order. These need to be reset and done with the snare hand first, and the the hi-hat hand, so that they layer up properly.
