One interesting aspect of this is the ultimate mobility. Only needs a phone which almost everybody carries around all the time nowadays. Which cannot be said of (grand) pianos Donât think either can or will replace the otherâŚ
@Snarp Perhaps also consider to allow chromatic as a scale choice? Could be interesting to have three horizontal hand positions for each hand that is tuning by a fourth up and down and vertical hand positions that transpose by an octave. To not only have the diatonic (or otherwise on-scale) notes.
Also at least in my first experiments it sometimes happens that one hand accidentaly leaves the tracking area (which is logical, the camera cannot track what it doesnât see). But as soon as this happens the remaining hand becomes âhand 1â (even when it was 2 before) and the other hand becomes 2 when it re-enters the tracked area. Which makes it hard to assign different functionality to the left or right hand. So it would be nice to have âleftâ and ârightâ explicitly as new parameter values additional to the current 1 and 2. And when setting a module to âleftâ (or ârightâ) then the left (or right) hand would stay assigned to that, even when it is sometimes the only hand in view and sometimes not.
@NothanUmber Thanks for the input! I tried to make the Ghost Organ easier by always arranging the hands âcorrectlyâ instead of using the same hand indices as in the hand tracking, but you are right, this doesnât take into consideration when a hand is no longer visible. I already have a lot of special case handling for these cases when one hand vanishes in the Hand Tracking module, so I will add a setting to the Ghost Organ to reuse thisâŚ
And yes, I originally wanted to add the usual scale options, like in the Value-to-MIDI-converter (so not only scales, but also chromatic, chord progressions and so on). But forgot to add these before the release. I will add these settings to the next release. I anyways need to experiment with the Ghost Organ more myself to improve itâŚ
I think my own use case, paired with a keyboard but still wanting that visual magic, would be to have notes from Ghost Organ trigger dramatic automations (like scene changes or instrument selection) in my DAW.
If I were using Loopy Pro, it seems a natural fit to toggle layers as well.
Similarly, I think thereâs a lot of value in using one finger from either hand to select between five parameters (or multi-axis sets of parameters) for that hand to control in mid-air.
Donât think either can or will replace the otherâŚ
