In this video, we go through an example implementation of the Note class, which teaches Processing how to visualize each note that is coming through the MIDI device. The possibilities here are truly endless, and this video serves as just one example of what is possible with this framework. For inspiration, consider the expansions below. Timestamps:
0:37 Adding position, size, & color to each Note
1:40 Scaling X position based on pitch
2:19 Scaling size based on note velocity
2:54 Randomizing color
3:30 Displaying each Note
4:28 What is Note lifespan?
5:38 Fading Notes
Possible expansions:
- Adding movement to each Note based on its pitch or velocity
- Arranging the notes in a circle
- Connecting Notes with lines or other shapes
Feel free to consider the following ideas I’ve explored as you expand on this project:
