Just managed to use Fingerplay MIDI to control the Ardour transport.
Here is what I got:
I can use the pads tab from fingerplay midi to control ardour transport.
See script for configured commands.
Get/Install Fingerplay MIDI:
http://thesundancekid.net/blog/fingerplay-midi/Market link is there.
Get/Install Perl Net::OpenSoundControl
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-OpenSoundControl/Download unpack, compile, install
IP of Android phone must resolve to hostname.
eg. add to /etc/hosts (192.168.0.123 is the Android IP):
192.168.0.123 andi
Fingerplaymidi settings
ServerType: OSC Server
ServerAddress: IP_of_Ardour_PC:8888
save script as fingerplay-ardour.pl, make it executable:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::OpenSoundControl::Server;
use Data::Dumper qw(Dumper);
use Net::OpenSoundControl::Client;
# pad channels
# 30 31 32 33 34
# 25 26 27 28 29
# 20 21 22 23 24

# ... recording state). !currently toggles on but not off for 2.0 branch.

# pad mappings

# goto_start prev_marker add_marker next_marker goto_end
%f2a = (
30 => 'loop_toggle',
32 => 'transport_play',
33 => 'transport_stop',
34 => 'rec_enable_toggle',
25 => 'goto_start',
26 => 'prev_marker',
27 => 'add_marker',
28 => 'next_marker',
29 => 'goto_end'
);
my $client = Net::OpenSoundControl::Client->new(
Host => "127.0.0.1", Port => 3819)
or die "Could not start client: $@\n";
sub dumpmsg {
my ($sender, $message) = @_;
print "\n\n";
print "[$sender] ", Dumper $message;
$fingerch=@$message[0];
$fingert=@$message[1];
$fingerv=@$message[2];
$fingerch=~ s%/fingerplay/control/%%;
print "fch: $fingerch\n";
print "fct: $fingert\n";
print "fcv: $fingerv\n";
print "f2a: $f2a{$fingerch}\n";
if (( defined $f2a{ $fingerch }) && ( $fingerv == 127 ))
{
print "\nSEND: /ardour/$f2a{$fingerch}\n";
$client->send(["/ardour/$f2a{$fingerch}", '', 0]) ;
}
}
my $server = Net::OpenSoundControl::Server->new(
Port => 8888, Handler => \&dumpmsg) or
die "Could not start server: $@\n";
$server->readloop();
Start script in terminal
Start Ardour, enable osc
Fingerplay MIDI: Connect to Server
Enjoy!
