Automatic Ad-hoc Script

adhoc

Graphic design is the core of our activity but our interests go far beyond: multimedia development, generative graphics and live music, to name just a few.

Creating an “ad-hoc” network in Mac is not difficult, but connecting many cables in a fast and professional way when you are on stage can be cumbersome.

One way to solve this is to create and Ad-hoc network with a fixed IP. We have tried this option but we have not managed to do so in some equipments, where configuration is lost when connecting the equipment back to normal wifi. This is why we looked for an option that would be as automatic as possible.

After many trials that did not render a unique solution for all devices, we decided to take matters in hand and develop a script to create the network and, since we had rolled up our sleeves, why not trying to achieve automatic opening for everything that we needed?

We would like to share with you a configuration for live audio. It uses the software tools that we usually work with on stage and that allow to manage the rest of hardware tools.

The script process is the following:

  1. -Create an ad-hoc network with a 40 bits WEP password
  2. -Open “Conductr server”
  3. -Open Ableton Live

Now you just have to connect your iPad to the “Karakter_Adhoc” network, using the password “12345”, open Conductr and you are ready to go!

This solution is designed to allow you to manage everything with one button while you wire the rest. This will spare you many headaches and will allow you to take a deep breath and make everything else work.

 

CONDUCTR

Conductr is an app that allows you to manage Ableton live from your iPad. For us this app is a must and it has totally changed the way we manage our live sessions. It is highly customizable and its design is far better than other similar apps. (We are a creative studio…we can’t help it).

There is a free version of the app with limited capacity but if you try it we are sure you will end up purchasing the full version.

OBSERVATIONS

-We have created this sequence for our live audio sessions. We also include the Automator workflow file so that you can create your own script. You can change the app (you don’t have to use Live) and you can work with several apps at the same time depending on what you want to do (you can open vdmx, quartz composer, traktor…or all of them at the same time). When you are done with the configuration you can save it as “application” instead of “workflow”. The opening will be faster as you will not have to use automator.

-You can also change the network data and introduce your own password.

-We have included versions in Spanish and English but if your operating system is in another language your script will display error.

We are sorry for this, but we cannot generate the script in all languages. To solve this, you only have to replace the phrase in line 3 of the script “Create network” or “Crear red” (in Spanish) by the phrase in the language of your operative system, e.g. “Créer réseau…” in French.

Very important: do not delete the three points at the end otherwise the script won’t work.

-This script has not been developed as a commercial product, but as a tool to make our daily life easier. As it has been so useful to us in our live sessions, we wanted to share it with anyone interested in using it, but we will not offer any technical support.

We hope you will find it useful.
