We still can’t find out how to break the midi files down into notes so that the program can read a certain note and display the visual that goes with it. Owen and I met with Tanner on Wednesday after class and got some ideas on how to achieve what we want to do but we still couldn’t accomplish it. He did help us figure out the code for a changing gradient background that we want to have to play behind our visuals. The gradient code is not final but we only have a little more to add. I have written code for a controller display box that we are going to use to start/stop the music and visuals. The checkboxes will be used to load three different gradient backgrounds on the display once we figure out the final code. Not all of the code is written for the controller yet since I have to wait for the gradient code and the code for the display before I can finalize the functions that affect them. For the rest of the week, we are going to try and figure out how to make the note’s characteristics readable by the program so we can attach certain visual attributes to them. If we can not figure it out we may move to a different idea. We will use a midi keyboard to play live music instead and have those notes affect the type of visuals the program user sees.
