🧭 gyromidi

A server that turns your gyroscope-having mobile device into a mappable midi controller.

Setup

Download the latest source code zip file from the Releases page, and unzip it.

Windows

• Install the Chocolatey Package Manager
• Install loopMIDI
• Run choco install openssl && choco install go in an elevated powershell.
• Open loopMIDI and create a new port with the exact name "GyroMidi" (without quotes).
• Run run_windows.bat (you will run this any time you want to run GyroMidi).

Unix (Mac/Linux)

• Install OpenSSL and Golang with your package manager of choice. (likely Homebrew for Mac)
• Run run_unix.sh (you will run this any time you want to run GyroMidi).

After running the server:

• Go to the URL printed in the console, on your gyroscopic mobile device.
• Polling mode "Polling Rate" will send gyroscope data every x milliseconds where x is the number entered in Polling Rate.
• Polling mode "On Movement" will send gyroscope data whenever the browser gets the data, (as fast as possible).
• Then turn on Polling, go to your DAW of choice, and GyroMidi will be a MIDI source.
• The Gyroscope X, Y, and Z axis, (along with acceleration) will be changing the MIDI CC values set in config.toml.
