App: GECO - MIDI Gesture Control
Developer: Uwyn, LLC
Genres: Musik

GECO is one of the easiest and most powerful solutions to interact with MIDI and OSC through touchless control.

Our custom multi-staged processing engine ensures an extremely low processing overhead and near zero latency, while still providing you with beautiful real-time visual feedback and powerful customization capabilities. GECO has been designed for live performance and quick configuration during rehearsal by industry professionals that have years of experience with high-speed low-latency electronic music and MIDI.

IMPORTANT: GECO requires an external Leap Motion Controller device for gesture detection and doesn't produce or manipulate sound directly.

Features:

• 40 different control streams with both hands
• Any control stream can be mapped to MIDI CC, Channel Pressure, Pitchbend and Pitchwheel messages on 16 different channels
• High-resolution 14-bit MIDI support with customizable fine message number
• High-resolution OSC support with customizable paths and OSC server selection
• Tunable gesture boundaries with support for defining dead zones around the center positions
• Instantly switch between related control streams by opening or closing your hands
• Carefully designed GUI for an immediate overview of the active MIDI mappings
• Real-time low-latency visual feedback of your hand movements and MIDI data
• Integrated virtual MIDI port
• Connects to any known MIDI output port on your computer, for instance hardware synthesizers
• Fully customizable user interface (colours, graphical elements, background image)
• Flexible document management that can be loaded while performing gestures
• High performance and near-zero latency engine with virtually no CPU impact when the real-time visualizations are hidden
• MIDI decimation setting to allow integration with legacy hardware that has limited MIDI bandwidth
• Advanced data output tuning with range inversion, minimum and maximum boundaries, distribution curves, attack and decay times

Release notes:
* Gesture legend rendering fixes when document is configured for single-handed use.
* Fixes for file loading and saving from within the Apple sandboxed application container.
IMPORTANT: default and recent files will from now on start working after you've manually loaded them at least once
