Bar Code Player

This bar code player uses Max for Live, and a USB bar code scanner. The Max patch reads the digits of the bar code that gets scanned, and then interacts with Ableton Live based on the number it receives. Depending on the position of the digit, it will queue one of the clips in the corresponding tracks (0-7 will correspond to tracks like drum loops, bass, melody, and different leads), and depending on the value of the digit, it will queue the clip that corresponds to that that value (0-9). There are also toggles that gate the different tracks, so if you only want to hear a drum loop and a vocal sample, you can select those two. All tracks were created in Ableton Live by Nicholas Perez and Malick Kelly.

Here is a video example of how the Bar Code Player works.
