Sita, It might be useful to think of MIDI as the means of communication, rather than the end result in regard to your situation. If you use software (such as SuperCollider or Max/MSP) or hardware (such as a sampler) that is MIDI-controllable, then you can indeed use BigEye to manipulate sound files. You don't actually need any (or at least not much) MIDI gear to do this. For instance, you can route the MIDI out of BigEye over the IAC Bus (using OMS) and into Max/MSP without the data ever leaving the computer. The MIDI data can then help you manipulate sound files among other things. This can eat up a lot of your processor power, so sometimes two computer are needed. These computers could be linked with simple MIDI interfaces (like the MOTU FastLane) or a network connection, such as ethernet. It gets a bit more complicated, but is still quite possible. Of course, if you are using Max/MSP, you could also check out Eric Singer's video tracking object called Cyclops: http://www.ericsinger.com Hope this helps a bit, Peter on 10/9/01 8:21 AM, Sita Popat at sita@ultralab.net wrote: > Does anyone know of a similar system to BigEye that can use sound files as > well as /instead of midi?
