Testing VDMX...

[_blank]

One of my firsts tests with VDMX [+ Quartz Composer + Ableton] It's something quite minimal and simple. Any kind of comment, good or bad, is welcome

Nice!

Is it Audio Spectrum to Size of square or is it sending velocity info via Midi?

Hi _blank,

Very nice minimal music, too. Amazing what you can do with a click, some filters and a delay!

I was just checking out your QTZ stuff on Vimeo earlier. Very nice line-based things. I love the waterfall one particularly. I sense a Queue patch is involved there somewhere...

It is just audio analysis, I don't know how to use midi! But I will learn some day or another

Everybody thinks that in the music there are filters and delays, but in fact there are not. All was done copying and pasting very short notes.

And... I don't know what video is the 'waterfall' one, but I have nerver use a Queue patch!

Thanks for the comments!

Hi _blank,

hmm... so I was wrong on both counts then....
Heehee.

There's always more than one way of doing the same thing!

The one I called the 'Waterfall one' is Nihil06, which I think looks like a stream of water. Very nice, anyway. I'm intrigued to know how you did it now though. Any clues?

It is really, really simple... The original file from quartz composer is a pattern of diagonal lines, without movement, just a still image. The rest is Modul8, just some animation, a patch transformer and sound reaction. Audio analysis in Modul8 is really basic, it just detects sound level, so in this case it only affects a little to scale and color

Ah.. OK.
I'd assumed you'd done the whole thing in Quartz Composer.

Cheers for the info.
