midiHook and oscHook - from "Hollyhook"... ;-)

[Thomas Helzle]

Hey,

just found those two tools - stumbled over them since they are from a german company called Hollyhook...
midiHook:

oscHook
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... ok.oscHook

These allow you to send the sensordata from your mobile or wearable as Midi or OSC to your computer...
For the Midi flavour there is a windows VST in 32 and 64 Bit available:

too bad this is not for iOS

[Thomas Helzle]

Well, usually Android is left out when it comes to audio apps, so you can't really complain...

It works quite well, although I think it could need some improvements - for instance the midi VST is blocking existing midi on the track in Bitwig, so it's pretty unusable there ATM..
The OSC version may be the better choice for people using Usine, since you get direct modulation inputs...

Fun stuff

Cheers,

Tom

The name grabbed my attention as well... IMO, they should never have chosen a name that is so close to an existing product.

[Thomas Helzle]

Well, you never know if they were even aware of it and there is little overlap in what they do.
I personally still find "Usine Hollyhock" quite a mouthfull and would actually prefer to just call it Usine again - Usine Hollyhock to me sounds like one of those beta names like "Android Lollipop" or the like. I don't fully get what it's supposed to signify otherwise - while the flower is beautiful, it has no relation to the product AFAICS (if it would be "ivy" I could at least relate that to the creeping tangling node graph ).
That it's a new and re-written version is no longer that relevant to most people IMO, it's simply the latest and greatest...

I don't really care that much either way, but the core product name for me is "Usine".

YMMV of course.

Cheers,

Tom

nice one.
@seamus. im pretty sure there are plenty of either androis or ios apps to send those data. ive downloaded several for android before choosing to concentrate on Lemur, i ll try to list them but few had the ability to expose and transmit accelerometers, gyroscope & light sensor, some even 'proximity to head' variables be sent via osc.

for exemple, along with usual fader knobs ect, those can send phone hardware datas (tested on android only, some might be avaible for ios) and there were still some other i didn't test
