    Sweet! Too funny that I posted another kinect patch right before you uploaded this one!

    this is great! i was planning on doing something like this from OSCeleton, but synapse works perfectly for what i want to do.
    thank you!

    keep getting an error while opening synapse :'creating depth generator failed: Cant create any node of the requested type!
    then the program then closes.
    im running on vista and have the kinect up and running using clnuid device test kind of hit a wall can anyone suggest where ive gone wrong?
  • awwbees · June 22 2011
    I've only run it on Windows 7, so I can't guarantee that it runs in Vista.
    Did you do everything on the Windows install instructions? You should see if you can run NiViewer in Start->Programs->OpenNI->Samples. If you can't, the SensorKinect drivers didn't install properly.
    Go into your Device Manager and uninstall any drivers you may already have for the Kinect and install SensorKinect again. When it's installed properly, after you plug in the Kinect you should see "PrimeSense" in your Device Manager with "Kinect Audio", "Kinect Camera", and "Kinect Motor" under it. Good luck!

    Version 1.1 released today! Adds some flexibility and better support for live looping performances with MIDI clips and Looper.

    Thanks for your work

    hi,
    i updated to 1.1 and nothing is workin anymore.
    synapse itself works like a charm but the m4l devices don`t get any data from it

    Amazing work, set up was a snap and works like a charm. I have been waiting for some thing this simple, efficient and easy to use. The Kinect can now be fully implemented the way I have always wanted it to ;)

    fantastic. it's working really well for me. I just have a little question, on the kinct dial: what are the "min out" and "max out" values really doing? I thought that this allows to set a range on the targeted parameter, but to me the behaviour seems to be inconsistent. Can you give me a hint?
    But really thank you a lot, we are working on a two person performance, looking forward to post video soon.
