Measuring Rate of Change of Body Position

Henry Flewitt's icon

Hi There,

I'm currently creating a patch allowing me to control various visual parameters using Synapse. I've managed to implement these but am now looking to create sound manipulation to go with it.

My aim is to have the rate of change of position (of right hand, for example) affect the playback speed of a granular synthesis patch. E.g. moving your hand quickly from left to right would equal a high rate of change, therefore a fast playback rate.

Does anyone know how this could be done?

Many thanks,

Henry

If you intend to implement gestures in your workflow, you can take advantage of this tool from IRCAM: http://ftm.ircam.fr/index.php/Gesture_Follower

Thanks for the help. I've managed to create a solution to the problem by using a delayed version of the location and working out the difference between the two.
