hi everyone,
i’m currently planning a series of experiments in SuperLab, and i’m looking for a solution to something relatively complicated… i hope someone can help.
short explanation of experiment: it’s a tone-color matching task, where the participant sees a color swatch and turns a dial (Griffin PowerMate), sweeping across the frequency spectrum to find a matching tone.
The audio stimulus (that the user manipulates) is done in Max/MSP, but i want to gather the responses in SuperLab. I have a demo version written in EPrime but I want to switch to SuperLab because it can run on Mac, and also because i think it works a lot better and generally doesn’t suck 
so, the question is this:
how do i get my participant’s response into SuperLab?
using Max/MSP i can send data out of a serial port or use a keyboard redirect object to pretend that the user is actually typing in a response (when in reality Max/MSP is generating the keystrokes). however, it would be a lot easier to simply send out the response over a serial line (RS-232 or USB) and into a 2nd computer running SuperLab, which is waiting for the response.
any suggestions on how to do this? I know SL can take serial input, but essentially my responses are freeform, as they can be any frequency from 20hz - 20khz.
thanks much,
m
