midi pong is an implementation of the pong game that works as a MIDI instrument. it produces music as you play the game, based on your actions in the game. it is available as a java applet, as an application, and as a VST plugin.

from wikipedia: [ en.wikipedia.org ] :
"Steinberg's Virtual Studio Technology and its acronym VST refer to an interface standard for connecting audio synthesizer and effect plugins to audio editors and hard-disk recording systems and also giving the plugins a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for easy manipulation. VST and similar technologies allow the replacement of traditional recording studio hardware with software counterparts. Thousands of plugins exist, making VST the most widespread audio plugin architecture. The technology can be licensed from its creator, Steinberg.' ... >VST provides a visual interface, allowing users to use the mouse to turn virtual dials and switches, similar to the physical switches and knobs on audio hardware. Some software allows users to enter exact values for parameters using the keyboard. MIDI controllers can also be used to control the software. Some VST instruments (VSTi) are software emulations of well-known hardware synthesizer devices and sampler devices, emulating the look and feel of the original equipment in addition to its sonic characteristics. This enables VSTi users to work with virtual versions of gear that may be difficult to obtain in its original form. There's also a wide range of new VST plugins, which don't have the purpose of emulating vintage gear. VST plugins which emulate vintage gear are only a subset of all VST plugins on the market. All VST software can run inside a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW, basically a computer with a professional sound card). VST software provides this host with additional functionality. Some hosts, but not all, can record the movements of dials and switches by the user." ... "VST plug-ins With appropriate hardware and drivers, such as a sound card that supports ASIO, VST plug-ins can be used in real-time. ASIO bypasses Windows' slower audio engine, offering much lower latency. There are 3 types of VST plug-ins: -VST instruments: A VST plug-in that generates audio. They are generally either virtual synthesizers or samplers. One of the first VST instruments was the Neon VSTi , which was included in Steinberg's Cubase. -VST effects: A VST plug-in that is used to process an audio input, such as reverb and phaser effects. Other monitoring effects provide visual feedback of the input signal without processing the audio. Most hosts allow multiple effects to be chained. -VST MIDI effects: A VST plug-in that is used to process MIDI messages prior to routing the MIDI data to other VST instruments or hardware devices, for example, to transpose or create arpeggios." ... | |

So this program creates a bunch of aleatoric blips through MIDI in response to your pong-paddling? Is this some sort of Max/MSP thing? Anyways, I am going to try using this to control Battery. Hopefully it'll sound fucked. | |

i have pong on my mpc1000 with the japanese os it triggers assigned samples when the ball bounces off the paddle
i use it all the time to randomize holographic arrays within the ethermatrix aphex twin wrote all his classics with this interface in other news blahblahblah | |

Beercrack you can do that with the MPC1000? A holographic array? An ethermatrix? Anyways the closest I've ever seen is a Max/MSP patch called RefMatrix... the cursor bounces around at diagonals within a square matrix, and you can draw objects within this matrix that it bounces off of, triggering a very Quinoline Yellow-sounding melody.
Please let me know more about this fancy pong / mpc1000 setup, I've never heard about that before. I always thought Mr. James used Max patches. | |
