Re: Possible to achieve this effect?
Cool, thanks. I was familiar with that ISF site, but I guess not with which kind of dithering I needed. I've been messing around with it - definitely close to what I was after. The main issue I'm having is getting that 'refined' look like the video, with very few lines around the objects. It's alway...

Re: Newbie needing Magic files!
If you have a few weeks, you’ve definitely got time to learn enough to get some nice visuals together - I’ve done that for a similar length set within a similar time frame, and with not much expertise. The thing about Magic is once you start playing with even the fairly basic stuff, you can get some...

Re: How to create a control range that starts with a negative value using MIDI controller
Hi. Thanks for the reply. Ok, so I'll try and describe it better: Imagine a MIDI controller with knobs that have a start and stop point, as opposed to infinite (as is the case on my Korg Nanokontrol). I want to assign a knob to a function - e.g: the 'X' on a 'Scale' module, but I want the range to s...

How to create a control range that starts with a negative value using MIDI controller
Hi.
I'm trying to make a control value with a range that starts from -20 to +20 (or any values), i.e: when the MIDI control knob is stopped at 0 (fully anti-clockwise) it's -20 and when it's fully clockwise it's +20. Can't quite work it out using modifiers (tried 'offset' but no joy)
Thanks.

Well, I use an Asus GL702VM and it handles all the stuff you're talking about well.

There's loads of choice at that price point, obviously, so ...

Control the speed of random modifier
Hi folks.
As above - I have a random modifier on an input selector and would like control of how quickly it sends a random value out.
Also, I guess I need to put a step modifier in there somewhere so that it increments in whole numbers?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers.

Yeah, it would appear that your system just can't keep up with more than one thing going on. You really need a proper dedicated GPU like an Nvidia GTX, no less than a 600 series, but ideally better, especially as your scenes get more complex and you need to run other software simultaneously.

You probably don't want to hear this, but your system specs are pushing it a bit for realtime graphics stuff. That Intel Iris is fairly basic and i5s come in a few shapes, some of which are also not really up to the task. I'd try going through a few GLSL shaders, just on their own and see what frame...

Hi there.
Thanks so much - I downloaded your scene and saw what I was doing wrong straight away - each of my text boxes was a single letter.
Yeah, so it works. Nice one.
Of course, it's a great system for making anything appear. Great stuff.

Re: Reveal of text using beat triggers
Hi.
Yes, that was kind of my first idea, but I need the text to remain on screen once triggered. It seems like that will just show each letter one after the other, but with the last one disappearing. Maybe there's a solution to that?
