Notes
Bettermaker added sysex commands from their plugin for most events. Updated plugin can be downloaded here
Haim released a working version of the speech server that accepts the above sysex commands and converts them to speech. The server runs in a browser window and can be run locally without the need for an internet connection. The server is developed with js, html and css. No package installation or prerequisites needed.
It would be great to add a “clipping” alert of input level from the BM plugin, since this is a real-life use-case that can be helpful for all users, not exclusively for visually impaired, which demonstrates how inclusive design improves the user experience for everyone.
Sam and Haim should start working on demoing voice commands for controlling the vSPE. We don’t have to go crazy with this and support full functionality, but rather focus on a few commands (even one) that we can get to work reliably to demonstrate the concept of voice control.
Demoing at NAMM: Haim should reach out to Andrew and Lawrence to finalize how much room we need and how everything will be displayed. Marek can provide an iMac for the demo, along with a vSPE.
We should create a 1-2 minute video that showcases this demo. We can start by editing a google doc with ideas for a script. We can start with this (suggestion only). Feel free to add your comments and edits in the doc. Here's a link to the doc
There’s an opportunity to demo in AES Warsaw and soundcheck. Athan and Marek should open a dedicated discussion on this.
