[PD] Alpha release of Controctopus and Semento (MIDI to OSC system)

[Luke Iannini (pd)]

Hallo,
Here's the very-alpha release of Controctopus and its required habitat
of Semento (my augmented Memento).

Controctopus is a learning-MIDI-controller to OSC-discovery
automapper.  Anything that can be state-saved with Memento can be
state-saved and controlled with Semento and Controctopus.  By telling
Semento the desired range of your parameter, Controctopus will
helpfully map your 0-127 controller values to, for example, the
0-20000 values of a filter cutoff parameter*.  Controctopus maps (that
is, the definitions of which CCs go to which OSC destinations over
which MIDI channels) can themselves be saved with Semento.

The OSC parameters of your system are auto-discovered and conveniently
listed with [midi-tentacle] for very very quick assignment.

If you're already using Memento, it's a pretty easy switch to Semento
(a find and replace will cover the first half, then a manual
going-through to add parameter ranges).  SSSAD is also a
relative-to-some-things-ly easy switch.

Semento includes support for local-sub-state saving (which was part of
Memento but never finished), managed by the additional (included)
object [polaroid].

[cc-learner] is also a handy standalone midi-cc learn module.

Anyway, you'll probably get a better idea by having a look at
[controctopus-help].  Adding both included folders to your path is
probably the fastest way to get going.

New and much more usable releases coming soon!

Cheers
Luke

(oh, you'll need at least zexy, list-abs, mrpeach's OSC objects,
thomas grill's pool, and bbogart's popup, and maybe a couple more.
http://grrrr.org/ext/beta/pd/ for the latest pool, which fixes a bug
with very large strings that Controctopus loves to generate.  Thanks
again Thomas!)

*there's a currently-undocumented "constraint" system as well, for
when you'd like to map 0-127 to a subrange like 1000-2000 of the full
0-20000.
