- Musicians seeking webcam-based MIDI expression
- Worth noticing
- The planned app maps 21 tracked points per hand to notes, CC messages, or pitch bend on a chosen MIDI channel.
Field notes
The proposed workflow uses a webcam to track hands and face locally, then exposes mapped notes, control changes, or pitch bends through a single virtual MIDI port. Its card model separates a gate pose from the movement and MIDI message it controls, with range, curve, direction, deadzone, and smoothing available for shaping. The page names Logic Pro, Reaper, and Studio One as example hosts, while the beta remains closed.
