Midi to trigger ASCII in a broswer
Hello,
I'd like some help. I'd like to use a midi keyboard to play www.patatap.com.
I can use MIDI to trigger 'itoa' just fine, I'd like to know how I can send that ASCII output to a browser or any other application for that matter.
And help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Midi runs in background.
All You need is to execute keystrokes, depending on midi input.
Frontmost application will receive simulated key strokes.
You did not mention which OS You are using,
but 11strokes2 external works on both platforms.
Just assign each midi note a keystroke.

Thanks source audio this looks promising.
Currently I've got this now working with 11strokes2 but you have to add a delay and click back and forth between the max window and the browser is there anything I'm missing?
I'm using OSX 10.15.3
no need for any delay or to switch between apps.
Max with midi input should be in background,
and keystrokes will be received in frontmost app.
What is a range of that midi keyboard ?
keys a - z and 0 - 9 are 47 - 82
so one could offset incoming midi notes to match that.
For example from C2 (midi number 36) to B4 (midi number 71)
Or simply transpose lowest key to 47.
Great sorted it. I'm actually using the Bitalino R-iot chip to trigger midi over a network. Check it out. Thanks for your help! https://twitter.com/imtompeel/status/1242449259124973569?s=20
Great that you got it working.
But can't that board send key strokes directly to computer,
instead of midi ?
Sorry yes thats what I meant.
