Magic Music Visuals

Hi, I very often have to work with different setups of audio and MIDI gear. That makes it necessary to remap all the sources to their respective inputs. Mostly these are three or four setups I have to switch to. It would be a very helpful feature if we could safe and load setups of Input Sources. On...

BTW a question to Eric: If it happens that Magic looses contact to a MIDI-device: Could You make something like a MIDI rescan without the need to close Magic? Actually when this happens I have to replug the MIDI-device and the restart Magic which is not a choice while performing. If Magic could relo...

Hi, I am using two Launch Control XL in my setup. Since there is no unique identification which one is which I can connect only one of them directly to USB, the other one has to go through another device so it is recognized by the system as a different piece of MIDI. In my case it connects to a RME ...

Thanks. I did not know this switch yet. At least with nativ 60 fps it works now. I can define whatever fps or resolution I want in the Nvidia control panel as custom resolution. So defined for 30 fps. This is what I will check next if it works also with that. MadMapper says it needs 60 fps to run sm...

Thats exactly what I did. I changed all devices to 30 fps. But vertical sync does nothing. I use Spout to feed MadMapper. So maybe Magic sees a 60 fps there? But it does not sync to that either. It just runs free. And it does not matter if MadMapper is running or not. Even if setting all devices to ...

Hi, yes I know that. I will not use intentionally any MIDI-Device for MadMapper. I don't need one for that. And in the MIDI-prefs of MadMapper no device is registered. But anyway as soon as I start MadMapper first and Magic second I can't access this one MIDI device. So I always start Magic first. B...

Hi, my setup is Magic and then MadMapper for mapping. I have three MIDI-controlers attached, one KORG nanoKey, one Novation LaunchControl XL through legacy USB and another LaunchControl through a MIDI-host which connects then through Fireface. This is because through USB only one Launch Control at a...

Just to be sure: Vertical sync only works at 60 fps? I tried to set all my graphics to 30 fps. But there ist no sync then.

Hi, did somebody ever work with a SLI setup? I just put one to work. But it is a disappointment to see only a marginally if ever benefit in work with Magic. I am afraid that this is due SLI architecture. So maybe this is not the way to gain power and more resolution, fps .... Is there any experience...

Thanks. Double buffering was the thing.

No, I don't. I remember that it was for some time. But actually I don't get it. Mostly it is well higher. I toggled the setting but it did not help. Could it be that Magic does not see the displays since I use Spout as output?

Hi, I am just trying out different mapping apps. The most promising up to now is MadMapper. It does what I need except that the final video is not moving smoothly. This is said to be due to my Spout output of Magic is not locked to 60 Hz (rate of the outputs to my three projectors). I thought that w...

Ok, so this is new. Not long ago I was able to activate and deactivate at will.
But the final conclusion is: Magic is that cheap so it should not be a problem to have two licenses or more.

Hi, are You aware that You can always disable Your license on one machine and then enable it on another? It is a matter of a few clicks and seconds, a breeze to change machines. And I understand that You are only working on one machine at a time, right? So You should be fine. And I must second Erics...

I had the same issue with an ASUS board and NVIDIA graphics adapter. The moment the Intel graphics are involved fps goes down to nearly zero. I thought I could use the intel adaptor for the app and display my projectors through NVIDIA. But this won't work. What I want to know is what will happen if ...

Hmm, but this arrangement does not allow to manipulate each part separately. I would like to e.g. to skew the side parts to correct some distortion in relation to the middle part. I would like to overlap the parts to a little portion in order to apply some some edge blur. Things like this, even corr...

Hi, I did not want to open an new topic since it is pretty much the same problem or question. I output a 3240 x 1920 scene to three projectors which is very easy and perfect with magic to do. But since I prefer to project directly onto walls and these are not always just a plain wall and somtimes ev...

Hi back in 2018, thanks for thinking with me. I always try to have things as simple and straightforward as possible because I want to be able to change things quickly even during performance. Things are always in progress. So subfolders and subscenes do not feel right for me because they too many cl...

I would like to control the character(s) through MIDI. This of course makes only sense if You do not want to write TEXT but just characters as a source of grafics. But this is exactly what I want to do. I know that this might be not trivial since there must be some sort of map underlying to assign ...

Yes, thanks.
I was looking for an up/down command. Sorry and thanks.
