I am wondering if there is any updated doc anywhere on the agents in the community version of eigend?

I am wondering if there is any updated doc anywhere on the agents in the community version of eigend? There have been a whole lot of agents added, but many of them are a complete mystery to me - what they do, how to confiture them, and so on. Like, what does the live pad agent do? What do the controls mean? I see an ableton push agent, but it has no parameters to edit, so how does it get used? I can't find any doc on most of these, and sadly there are no readme files in the source dirs that provide clues, nor can I find anything online that lists these. Is there a documentation resource I am missing?

I've just been experimenting with Fingerer, which is brilliant, and recreated a Pico version of the fingering I use on the Akai EWI. It's given me access to over three continuous chromatic octaves pretty quickly, so I'm quite pleased with that. (Here's a quick demo. I've added the fingering file under the EVI thread on the forum.) Works fine with the clarinet, but when I tried editing the VST in the same way it didn't work at all. Would you expect it to ...? I'm new to this so I'm a bit confused how it's all set up...eg when using the clarinet I see stuff like breath compression in Stage, but the settings under the VST tab are completely different, and it's not there...? http://www.lemontiger.co.uk/audio/PicoDemo.mp3

New Agent : Midi Program Chooser.

New Agent : Midi Program Chooser.  a small (& late) present for António Machado , as a little thank you for hosting the Euro PMC (which was such a great event) usage - connect it to a keygroup output and a midi output (include AU agent!) and then when you press the keys on the keygroup it will send a program change event (or bank change if in bank mode) and light the relevant key. (it uses the physical mapping for numbering, so you can have splits, or switching etc)  download, is from here:   http://bit.ly/1zrR5KA , which is a new '2.1' full build.  (I'll do a windows one later)  (sorry didn't get it completed earlier have been bit busy!) note: screenshot is old version! attrib midi channel - channel, 0 =send all channels bank - current bank program - current program  window - start of window bank view false - leds show program, keys activate program change  true- leds show bank, keys activate bank change  NOTE: when a bank change is sent, it will also send the cur...

Wiki eigenzone - down

Wiki eigenzone - down ================== looks like eigenzone wiki is down at the moment, you can get my agents directly from : https://github.com/TheTechnobear/Eigenharp/tree/master/agents/binaries EDIT : wiki backup, please use: http://wiki.eigenzone.org/wiki/TheTechnobear_agents

soundplane agent (update) 0.0.4

soundplane agent (update) 0.0.4 update includes: - host and port can now be specified  - kyma mode starts a listener (logging only) kyma usage: a) set port to 8000 b) turn kyma mode on. eigend.0.log will show incoming kyma messages, which kyma will be sending on port 3124 (this is the port soundplane agent has told it to respond on) #soundplane   #eigenharp   #kyma   http://wiki.eigenzone.org/wiki/TheTechnobear_agents

Soundplane agent (update) - 0.0.3

Soundplane agent (update) - 0.0.3 updates include: - improved performance/timing - experimental kyma support - breath/strips sent as t3d zones * - send data rate messages periodically only the first is really of interest to those using Kaivo/Aalto,  though I'm hoping Randy will add zone support for Kaivo and Aalto at some point, as it would be useful for the soundplane Kyma is totally experimental as i have no access to it, I don't even know if kyma is still working correctly with the soundplane, let alone my agent .. all I know is I send messages that would appear to be expected to be set in the code :) as always read the README supplied with the package for details. Enjoy  Mark http://wiki.eigenzone.org/wiki/TheTechnobear_agents

A sneak peek of something Im working on

A sneak peek of something Im working on http://youtu.be/kYSYonoSBqU I like using the Eigenharp as a performance controlling surface, but some things are a bit fiddly (small buttons, not so great feedback) I tried an iPad (with Lemur/TouchOSC etc) but too small. I don't want to use a laptop/computer. So decided on an Ableton Push... not only does it have a grid with good size buttons, and lots of extra buttons, slider... but also endless encoders and most importantly a LCD matrix display so you can see whats happening. Ive been super impressed with it in Live, and how it improves your workflow, using live without looking at the computer :) So decided... I want it for EigenD too :) Stage one... modify my midi device agent to support sending light 'midi messages', hook it up my eigenharp setup, using it for arranger and also a playing surface.  (this also allows me to check menus etc work) - the video shows the essential stage in action. Stage two... (If i decide to do it, rat...

Midi device agent - preview copies

Midi device agent - preview copies Yesterday I posted a video featuring my new midi device agent. as i mentioned its not ready for general release, due to: -  its still changing/improving and this would break setups using older versions - its takes a bit of 'explanation' on how to use, so probably involves more support than id like (I plan to simplify things) However, Im keen to keep pushing EigenD, to get videos showing how EigenD can be useful to non-eigenharpist, or eigenharpist in conjunction with other hardware/software. SO, if you have an interesting idea/project that could show this using the midi device agent and you are willing to post a video (doesnt have to be as long as mine!) then I will be willing to release a 'preview copy' to you (no source code either) and help you get it working. thoughts I have... (but I'm sure you have more creative ideas!) - demonstrate with more musical prowess than me (easy!), something I've already shown or a variation  (...

The encounter personal problems.

The encounter personal problems. I often use OSC Pad which is a great agent, but when I have group tracks (it contains each sample track) on Live9, LED on the Eigenharp keyboard of that place does not light properly. Although the sound is correct.
