color coded 'nipples' indicated the type of data

this would be a fantastic compromise if colored cables aren't an option.

That's sort of the reason I haven't done it. I don't want the interface to be eye candy, I want it to be as clean and simple as possible. hi Eric, you certainly achieved a clean interface, and for the most part, it's super intuitive. but, as mentioned, there are times when color would be more than ...

yes, agree with your suggestions, as many a time i find myself having to "trace" information.

hi, when a scene starts to develop, I find myself having to trace connecting cables from module to module. would being able to set a unique color for each connecting cable help? I reckon so, and it would add a bit of eye-candy to interface

hi, glad u enjoyed vid, it was a blast creating it! The West Side story clip effect was created with the following modules:

thanks Eric!

hi, with the advent of MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) devices (some of which i use), support for this protocol would work well for real time control in MMV imo.

hi, this is a video produced for Disclosure Energy Fest 2021. was played live (and subsequently edited in Danvinci Resolve), with midi control from Ableton Live and Novation Launch Control controller. a lot was learned during this process, so if anyone has any questions, shoot...i'll be happy to sha...

Hi, yes this would work (similar to what Eric suggested no?)...as you say, this would have implications on processing power...also, was looking for a more elegant solution than hiding duplicates, as you will always have to plan how many scenes/objects need duplicating etc.

Thanks Sadler, that's a help. The "Apply Alpha" was a way to hide object when midi note is not being pressed, but thanks to your example I can see Transparency is the way forward. (This method actually completely hides Blurs ftr.) Yes, using midi note to control Y-Axis is natural. Thanks a...

This is just a simulation using random values to represent midi. There is a little blurring at the edges but not much - looks like motion blur. Trails: [Strength: 1.0] [Blur: Off] [Speed: 2.0] [Z/X: Off] I also tried it by moving the polygon and having Trails Speed: 0. This was a slightly different...

You could use the Iterator module Hi, how exactly would this be implemented please? My scenario: 1. Midi note triggers scene which contains object, that translates across screen on x-axis. 2. When the same midi note is received, the same scene/object is retriggered, but the previous triggered scene...
