Here’s a video flexing on the new rnbo~MIDI Raw driver/ Sysex, messing up patterns, changing kits, and sequencing the Machinedrum.
Between MIDI Note/CC and Sysex out from rnbo~ you could greatly extend the functionality of the Machindrum

I’ll share the rnbo~/Max patch soon =)

Well, that was certainly intriguing. Looking forward to hearing/seeing more.

Massive. Midi from rpi through USB-to-midi interface?

Cool stuff!
Reminds me I should really get busy with the Analog Rytm external: Announcing rytm: The first MaxMSP external for Analog Rytm!
Could that one be used in a RNBO patch? 
I should read up on that stuff. Haven t been on the C74 forum in a while…
Unfortunately it seems that you can not use it through a rnbo patch.
On the other hand the external is based on rytm-rs which can be used on any platform Rust and C can compile to.
This involves writing a Rust application using the library for your custom needs.
There is one other way, if rnbo can do OSC which should be possible (I didn’t check)
One can run a application which uses rytm-rs on the pi which waits for messages constantly on a chosen port.
Then in theory the DSL I’ve developed could be used to communicate with it so it conducts tasks and send sysex through a midi output port from the pi.
This would require some effort but not super hard to do for an experienced developer.
Just wanted to lay out the possibilities

Killer diller

Rytm sysex is rather relatively complex and huge.
You can also use rnbo’s new sysex capabilities but then you’re back to zero implementing compiling and interpreting the low level sysex yourself.
This might be a strategy which can be considered if your application focuses only a few properties to change or update.
For this feel free to get some idea about the raw sysex structure from .h files found in libanalogrytm.

Also I think they’ve chose Machine Drum to expose rnbo sysex features because Machine Drum sysex is documented.
I’ve heard that Analog Rytm might be a super set of that but I didn’t check to confirm this since I don’t have a Machine Drum.

Here I go again diverting this thread from its subject but I came across this on the C74 website: beta release of RNBO export to Eventide H9000 hardware.
We have worked closely with engineers at Eventide to bring direct target export of RNBO patches to their H-series hardware, beginning with their flagship H9000 rack-mount device.
Perhaps H9 & H90 also to come then?

No MIDI, sysex out from the raspberry Pi into Machinedrum, but you could also do MIDI at the same time 
You could just write your own rnbo~ external there’s an API

Sure, I know.
I meant the hardware part.
You go from rpi USB connector to MD through midi, I presume. As MD doesn’t have USB midi interface.
And I didn’t see your pisound on that one.
Class compliant midi to usb works right out of the box
Would you share the repo?
What is it called?
Is it rnbo.adapter.max?

Correct, rnbo.adapter.max, there’s not a “full fledged” SDK, but this should get you on your way.
The added bonus us this is by XNOR one of our main engineers on rnbo~ so feel free to ping them if you strike any issues =)

Hi, I’m a total noob at this stuff, but managed to set up the pi wireless and export the presets to rnbo. I have a cme u2midi pro cable connected to the machinedrum. It seems I can send the tempo to the machinedrum, but nothing else is happening. Can someone please show me an image of the rnbo connections & what needs to be setup in the machinedrum for it to respond to the patches? Again, the more detailed info, the better. Thanks in advance!
