Use MIDI touchpad/keyboard to manage windows and control applications inside MacOSX
Example:
from tacpyle.app import tacpyle_app, callback
@callback(note=71, range=100)
def fader(value):
print value
tacpyle_app()
from tacpyle.app import tacpyle_app, callback
tacpyle_app is needed to start the MIDI listener, after you have set up the callbacks, remember to call it at the end using tacpyle_app().
callback is a decorator that we'll use in the next line
@callback(note=71, range=100)
note can be discovered by running python monitor.py and fiddling with the MIDI controller.
range lets you choose the upper limit for the fader range. Default is 0-127, but if you need discrete steps such as 1-10, setting range=10 will automatically convert from 0-127 to 0-10 and call back only when the value actually changes (even if in 0-127 range it is changing gradually)
def fader(value):
You can name this function whatever you want, it needs to accept one argument - value, this value is within the range specified in the decorator.
@callback(note=72, range=10)
def say_hello(value):
messages = [
'hi',
'hello',
'well, hello there',
'hello again',
'i see you are still here',
'yes?',
'no',
'stop',
'go away',
'shoo!',
'outta here!',
]
print messages[value]
