Re: record/playback of keyboard input



I was planning on doing some VJ stuff, using the keyboard. Anyone working on a technique for recording the "live" keystrokes
for later playback? Maybe something as useful as a technique that would let you preserve
those last 30 seconds of VJ improv that otherwise might be gone forever. (as in, "oh wow, that was definitely cool. How did I do that?").


For small key counts, you could simply attach a Queue patch to each output of the Keyboard patch. This would get cumbersome if you were using many keys though, but might be enough to get you started. (the Queue length should be the number of frames you intend to record).

A similar technique would work with the HID patch set to keyboard. However, this again runs into scalability problems when recording several key inputs.

I don't know of any other patches that present key press data in any other way in QC, so there aren't a whole lot of options for alternatives at this point :(
