My current project requires specific knowledge of pd (and Gem I suspect), which for me is mysterious & hazy at best.

Essentially I'd like a range of real time motion sensor data to trigger playback of sound files.

So... data range type 1 will trigger sound file 1, data range type 2 will trigger sound file 2 and so on...

Is this possible using only PD/GEM? If so, does anyone know of a patch that does this or something similar?

If not, is it possible for someone to at least point me in the right direction? I've started by trying to play a sound file manually using readsf~ but that has failed with this forum as my last bastion of hope...

Thanks in advance...

I don't know what you mean by data range type 1/2. but have a look at

Browser > Examples > Gem > 0.4 Video > 0.3 Motion Detection

or however it's spelt exactly.

Wicked, thanks a bunch.

The effect I wanted was for track-1 to play when there is high velocity and track-2 to play when there is low velocity picked up by the motion sensor.

Disregard if I'm still not making sense!
