Midi via Bluetooth
Hello, I'm part of a electronic music student performance group. We use max frequently to both control sound and add a visual aid to our pieces.
One of our main problems is the large amount of wires running from one side of the stage to the other. We do quite a bit of work with midi controlers and I was wondering if there is a way to send midi data from one bluetooth enabled laptop or computer to another in max.
I was hoping that maybe there's a way to set the bluetooth chip as a midi device there by allowing one laptop to control a device connected to the other.
Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks!
You can use bluetooth for serial communication only (with [serial]).
It's a little bit tricky to do so, you'll need to use the Bluetooth
serial utility (panther) or go to the Bluetooth system preferences
(Tiger).
Unfortunetly, it won't be a reliable than MIDI.
you can email me privately if you need help!
Good luck!

Do you both have wireless internet installed? If so then the easiest thing
might be to either make a computer to computer network or bring a
router/switch, and use the updsend and udpreceive objects, (available from
maxobjects.com I'm sure) [mxj maxhole], cnmat, netsend or similar.
I'd be interested in a more detailed description of how to do bluetooth
nonetheless.
thanks

I understand this is a bit different than what you asked, but M-Audio makes a wireless MIDI controller:
It has MIDI I/O. I would be afraid to use it in a concert.

Karl-otto & Jean-Francios thanks for your help! i have
another question though (whomever can help would be
appreciated); i want to route the randomly generated
samples to different outputs w/ different samples. Do i
have to make several drop files? My brain is being fried
from staring at the screen in frustration.

better than staring on the screen is going thru examples/tutorials
(again if you did it already) download collections of abstractions and
study them...
The most simple solution is a [gate 2] and decide with [random 2] + 1.
