Midi and Director

[intosite]

Hi,

Anyone used a midibox with macromedia director before?

Is there a way around the expensive xtras for director? Or you know of some free xtras that can get director to get midi inputs?

Cheers

are you on pc or mac?

for the pc you could use the mabry midi activex which was liberated to open source a few years ago. For the mac im sure there are freeware options

also www.troikatronix.com is betatesting pc version of their xtra, mac versions have been available for a long time

I'm running on a pc but would like to have the flexibility of both machines.

As of now, the pc, what do you mean by using activex? How do i go about doing it?

i cant find the midi activex that was liberated to GNU license a few years ago (originally marketed by mabry), it was always hard to find, but I have it on mh HD somewhere, so PM or email me and I'll send it.

As long as we're talking about midi and video:

I've been experimenting a while now with video and MIDI. Up to now mostly with hardware, but I want to *generate* more sophisticated video from MIDI as well. I've been looking for a good environment to do simple 3d graphics. I guess it will come down to some hardcore OpenGL programming, or not? Does anybopdy know a good environment?  Any tips or links for tutorials?

thnx
