the evolution of experience
If you are like me, you are still using a windows machine and are becoming frustrated by the massive number of new Mac applications for VJs, and you are wondering what is available for your windows PC. I am going to try to pull all the best windows video and interactive development resources I can find together in one place, I have come across some great tools during my search for a windows equivalent to Syphon, I you know of one PLEASE let em know.
Here is a little drawing tool that uses video feedback loops to create sustained images, inspired by a patch/post I came across in the Isadora forums, this tool combines a number of units from my soon to be released Video SYSt3m. I will be expanding on this drawing tool to allow variable mapping to match other modules in the SYSt3m framework. In the meantime this tool includes an FX module that can have the variables controlled/mapped to data from the LFOs. Simply activate the LFO, select an output channel, and enter that channel number in the chan column beside the variable data row (V1 etc.) I would love to get some feedback on this data mapping method.
Just a quick screen capture of SYSt3m 0.49 running. Switching between presets, and rendering the mix and effects via live audio.
I am thinking to offer my SYSt3m
(now at v.48.. still beta) as a Free download (both a standalone playable version and a editable source version).
Surfing a bit this morning I came across a great article. The article tries to deal with one of the most common questions people have that are getting it Video mixing / VJing.. What Codec to use?
With over 30 versions of my video SYSt3m now passed I thought its time to introduce it to the world.
SYSt3m features:
What is a video sequencer?
In our case it will be a module that is loosely modeled on a hardware drum machine. I will walk you through the building this software module in Isadora. At the end you will have a fully functional video sequencer / stepper that you can add to your own projects.
