After this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Microsoft Kinect V2 to send MIDI notes to Ableton Live through Derivative TouchDesigner and some lines of Python.

Especially you will use gestures, defined with X and Y coordinates, to trigger sounds. The sounds will be specific notes played by an instrument, picked among the instruments available in Ableton Live.

Check the second part of this video to learn how to record a loop of the sequence of sounds you have just learned in this video: https://youtu.be/XqeGSo_vFzg
