Re: Project file crashing on load

you can also try using "import project" from the file menu in a blank magic project... i had a troublesome file once that kept crashing after loading so i tired importing it instead and then saving it as a differently named file...i don't remember exactly what the problem was but this was ...

Re: Wireless MIDI to control MAGIC - two computers

try looking for a micro-router - usually advertised for travel...this way you can have your laptops connect to this wirelessly and create a local network - albeit without internet (which you probably don't need anyway for this connection type)... i needed to have lemur on my ipad send/receive midi w...

Re: Hope you enjoy this....

nice shaders...goes well with your music...

just out of curiosity, are the shader coded to produce 4k of resolution?. If not, there wouldn't be a need to render out a video in a resolution higher than what the shaders can provide...this may save you some GBs!

Re: Festival Set

sadler, i must say that this is superb work!.. found myself mesmerized with the various droste effects in the last 1/3rd of the vid...the only thing that bothered me was around the 0:36 mark...i found the trails to be too dense/bright which was rather different then most of the footage that had more...

Re: Playlist advance in BPM

hey chris, this feature would of course be dependent that the music file has no tempo changes... i have a few track that i produced that has some tempo changes so setting an overall fixed bmp would not work in those cases...also i think there may be issues with using midi files with embed bpm that i...

Re: How do I do a time based effect?

here's a way to do it with an expression to control the bypass switch of an effect... Capture3.JPG if you want it active for a period of time, you could enter an expression similar to this... if((x>1 and x<10),1,0) 1= bypass on (tick on) 0 = bypass off (tick off) if the increase is set to 0.5, then ...

Re: How do I do a time based effect?

without knowing exactly what you're trying to do, one simple idea to delay an effect is the use of a input switch like so... Capture.JPG note that i used an increase modifier and then clamped it...for the increase modifier, the value represent a speed of which 1.0 = 1 second... so, in my example, 0....

Re: How to stop a parameter at a specified value?

using the clamp modifier would be the easiest way...type in 2.5 and anything that's above that value will get clamped at 2.5... an expression modifier would work as well if you type the following if(x>2.5,2.5,x) ... this means that any value that's greater than 2.5 will be set at 2.5...all other val...

Re: bug report - playlist midi control affects global parame

In that case, you probably have "Synchronize Modules on Reselect" enabled (in the Playlist drop-down menu). Disabling it will fix the problem. Not a bug ;). https://magicmusicvisuals.com/downloads/Magic_UsersGuide.html#OtherModuleOptions ah!..that did it...so many little settings ;) thank...

eric, i can replicate this behavior when i double-click on playlist number "0" button...actually, if i double-click on any of the playlist numbers it resets the global(s) to zero... so i'm guessing that the back and forth knob twiddling i'm doing on the hardware controller is sending two q...

bug report - playlist midi control affects global parameter

not sure if this is specific to 2.14 but noticed that if i assign a midi controller to select a playlist entry, some of the global parameters (if not all) will set to zero when the controller sends zero... this is true from my virus (using different cc knobs) and roland a90 connected to a MOTU midi ...
