I made up a Nintendo NES controller in TouchOSC. Installed the OpenEMU Quartz Composer plugin from http://abstrakt.vade.info/?p=193

Published the controller outputs from the Quartz Composition containing the plugin and gamerom to VDMX.

Now i can play those old Nintendo games within VDMX live on screen. Saves my the burden of bringing my NES with me.

Whenever some dj plays Aphex Twins 'Pacman Powerpill' i start playing Pacman.

A QC-plugin for MAME-roms would be great too!!!

Talk to the developers :: Lost Serial Number

Hello.

I've gone and done the most silly thing, I've managed to loose track of my serial number. I have e-mailed support with no luck, I'm wondering if a post here would help?

I've been away from VJ work for a long time, now have a reason to get back into it, and refuse to use anything other than VDMX. I'm stubborn.

So, what details do I need to provide to get my serial number?

Regards, A.

yes, the ipod/ iphone screen is really tiny. But I work almost fine with my presets.
For me the real problem is the screen. You need to watch the IPod screen to make something, is hard to control and see the projection at the same time.
in that sense is better a USB controller like the berhringer BCR 2000, you can touch the controls and watch the screen at the same time.
For that reason i tried to make big buttons and big sliders, but is tiny anyway.
Now when I make a Gig I take with me my Airport base station to make a net, only to connect the Ipod to use TouchOSC. I control Quartz compos from the bar with a beer!

I hope someone gift me an Ipad...

Talk to the developers :: Fading from one preset to the other

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to have a preset und fade into another preset (some soft transition).

The purpose: I have some warped layers with text content, And at a certain point the whole image should be one move, then it changes into films on those warped layers. If I do so with layers I will have to copy those layer which at the moment seems to be a matter of inputting all relevant information over and over again into new layers. (There doesn't seem to be a copy layer function). At the state of this project this qould be far too much work.

So, any suggestions?

Talk to the developers :: RE: MIDI Bank / Subbank / Program changes or ALTs to NOTES

Hey technomorph,

Neither "bank select" nor "program change" send notes; they're both basically controllers ("bank select" is literally defined as the first midi controller). Simply put, "bank select" and "program change" don't send enough data to treat them as a range of notes without making unwarranted assumptions.

We're aware that some hardware/software assumes that this data will be treated as a range of mutually-exclusive notes but that's an assumption which is not covered by the midi spec and to the best of my knowledge has never been standardized.

hi thanks for the answer..
actually, the looping seems to be more accurate
but when i use it with ableton and do a fast trigger..i lose sometimes the sync ..maybe i'm asking too much...
sometimes i'm working with loops with only 20 frames of length..
and if i dont use the preroll, video and sound is not sync, but anyway,
my a/v set is improving and i wont be able to do it without vdmx !!

It would be very nice if VDMX could identify different midi channel.

To my understanding, media bin only recognize note number and disregarding which channel the note come from.

It would be great if we can assign different channel for different bin and then for
different track or instrument in Live at the same time.

I have liked using TouchOSC and editing my own layouts but to be honest I don't usually use for performances. The size of the screen is prohibitive at the moment.
