Magic Music Visuals

If the graphics card does not support this, does this mean that MMV doesn't show this option in the Magic Window Option menu? I'm on a Mac Studio.

Impressive! Not very uplifting though, but then again we live in dangerous times for our climate. (I recognize some infuence of Pink Floyd...)

It turns out that the free 500 frames from AfterCodecs is not enough for me. So I searched further and found that Premiere Pro 2025 (yes they are ahead of their time :) ), does offer export of a video with alpha channel that MMV does accept. This YT explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eGBr...

I think I found the answer. I activated the power option on the module and then used the treshold modifier to set the value at which the input value of the parameter triggers the power. So e.g. I set the treshold to 0.3 and the input in my case was a steady stream of increasing midi volume (cc7) dat...

How do I pospone the start of a shader? As soon as I add the module to the scene the shader effect starts also. I want it to start a certain amount of time later. How to achieve this? TIA!

I struggled also with this! So here is a more 'visual' explanation. Remember to use cmd E to restart de scene... Thank @Sadler for your help!

I had the same issue on my Mac. After trying many various HAP decoders, only one did the job. I think it's because all these are outdated and/or maybe not compatible wit a Silicon Mac. The one that works is a plugin for Premiere Pro called AfterCodecs from Autokroma. But it only works for HAP Alpha ...

Thanks for your reply! After my post I came across another thread about this subject and your contribution. I had already installed the ISF editor. So I used it for the failing shader and indeed it gave a programming error. It was just one, so I have to find out how to correct the error. It was abou...

I did find a few interesting shaders on shadertoy.com and my question is: why do some shaders load without a problem in MMV and others don't? What makes a shader compatible with Magic?

Thanks for the reply. The library (in this case the OpenGL.framework) was statically linked, but I did put the wrong dylib file into the folder I wanted to add to Magic. That was because the build with Xcode yielded two dylib files with the same name, but in different folders, and I picked the wrong...

Today I tried the MDK with the provided example. This is what I did: on a Silicon Mac (Mac Studio in my case) the build succeeded, but wiht many deprecated errors and the resulting example.dylib file was not recognized by Magic. I used Xcode 16.1 on my iMac (Intel, with Monterey and Xcode 13.4.1) th...

Thanks!

I downloaded the GLSLShaders Expansion pack, pointed to the folder with 'Add Additional Folder', but the folder doesn't show up in the 'Add' menu. Is this the expected behaviour? (I added a folder with ISF files and this one does show up.)

Thanks! I will try out this module setup, hopefully to get insight in how midi notes of a chord are processed.

I support this feature request!

Thanks for the reply! So if I understand you correctly, ONLY with the MIDI learn function I can link to a specific note. In the meantime I figured that when I change the velocity to a fixed amount, say 64 for all notes, and then use the link to Note Velocity, this would be the same as linking to a s...

Hi, Which note number is reported when the input of a MIDI file is a chord of which each note starts at the same time (quantized notes)? Also why is it not possible to link the source to a specific note number, as it is the case with note velocity? If this is possible then one can link certain (or a...
