Hi Benoit

yes this is possible

this is a tutorial to give you some clues and examples of what m4L can do.
Try to understand each steps of this device then you will be able to customize it for you needs
Don't give up even if the you find the Live API and Live Object Model cryptic sometimes, we all do ;-)

do you have an advice to make possible using the video-theremin and launching a clip.... I think with the tutorial of Michael Chenetz I get the idea of the API but if you have a clue about the theremin-launching clip it will be very appreciated

Salut,

a) The theremin sends 2 float values ( x & y)
b) Launching a clip require a bang

so you have to find an object who could turn a value into a bang.
there are many

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

here is an example

in audio domain there is the [thresh~] object to detect such thing, you can turn the float from the Theremin into audio rate stream, just have a look at the [thresh~] help patcher.

good luck, have fun
