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...

Appreciate the reply - is that available in MMV? I haven’t seen it. Thanks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p_Si21ig7c&list=PLjEpdah_kOgfhdncO5YfjdQY9hFzPq-2r&index=35&ab_channel=FlightlessRecords I know it's a kind of dithering effect, but the ISF 'Dither/Bayer" isn't really doing it and I know there must be more to it. I think the actual video uses After...

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...

Wow! Nailed it. Thanks so much. You really know your way around Magic, that's for sure. I wouldn't have worked that out in a million years (well, maybe the scale/offset thing, but not the expression

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...

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.

Yes, that's it, thanks! Unfortunately it doesn't do what I hoped it would, but that's for another post. Appreciate the help.

Hi. Wonder if anyone can help? Screenshots URLs: the first being what I'm seeing, the second being the (correct one) from the MMV manual. I'm using a Korg Nanokontrol Mk 2 (not that I think that's relevant here) and a knob for CC. I'm sure it's just something I've missed, but can't work it out. Than...

Well, I use an Asus GL702VM and it handles all the stuff you're talking about well. Something like that is going to cost at least £1000/ Euro, but you need something similar once you start running multiple 3d shaders with effects and video. There's loads of choice at that price point, obviously, so ...

Thanks guys! Brilliant.

Hold is the one, though. I couldn't get random trigger to do anything! My fault no doubt...

Anyway, Solved!

Thanks again.

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.

Great, thanks. Works fine with just that.

Hi. I'm trying to get a video to have a different start time every time the scene is played in a playlist, either manually or on auto advance. I've tried using a sine oscillator on 'start time' with a scale modifier set to the length of the video in seconds (it's quite long, by the way - 47 minutes)...

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. Also, l...

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...

I think this might be what you're looking for? https://magicmusicvisuals.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=993&p=4474#p4454 That might be exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks very much. Don't know why I didn't think of that, actually. It works out well with my nanoKontrol too, because it's qui...

Well, that's a useful tip anyway, but yeah, it's not quite what we're after. Korg NK is ok, by the way. Cheap and cheerful, with plenty of encoders. Great for Magic, really. Not rugged, though. Definitely a bit toy, but it works. Anyway, my actual scenario is that I'm going to be doing about six hou...

Hi. The picture shows a simple demo scene, in which I'd like to use the input selector to layer the scene. I can use a slider on my MIDI controller to go up and down inputs, but I'd really like a way of assigning each one to an individual button (I've got a little Korg nanoKontrol 2) and/or assignin...

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.

Hi. Thanks for that. It's cool, but not quite there - unless I'm missing something - what happens with that is that each letter disappears after the last one. Ideally I'd like them all to persist, so the word get's spelled out one letter at time (and each letter has a translate module for positionin...

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?

Hi. The title is a bit off - I couldn't quite think of a way to describe it. Here's an example of what I'm trying to achieve: You have some text that reveals itself letter by letter, in time with the beat of incoming audio, to reveal the full word. The nearest I got was a mask which shrunk on the x-...

Hi.

Ah, that looks intriguing, thanks. I'll give it a go later.

Cheers.

I’d just like to add that my ideal setup would be some way of detecting BPM by transients - much like a lot of hardware and software DJ tools work. I have a Pioneer DJ effects unit that does this. I’d like to take an audio feed from the DJs mixer and use that as my beat source, into whatever softwar...

Hi. Thanks for answers.

I think that Midiclock will be the best solution. I'm basically going to be VJing to someone playing house/techno music, so the tap tempo system will work quite well hopefully.

Thanks again.

Hi. Here's what I'm imagining (as an example): Events (anything - like changing colours, starting video clips etc etc) triggered one after the other, in time with a beat, but with control over when they occur in terms of bars/beats. I'd like, for instance to change a parameter/select a scene every q...

Ah, thanks a lot for looking at them, really appreciate it. That first one runs slow, but surely it’s down to the coding? Don’t forget, it really impacted my entire system too. I had to kill it in task manager. I’m running it on a gaming laptop with a GTX 1060, i7 7700 and 16GB DDR4. If a shader can...

Hi there. Yes, I did have an issue with that, but changed the extension properly to .fs afterwards. So currently, some of the Shadertoy converted files have worked, some half-worked and some not at all (just a black screen). I have definitely copied them properly, not omitting anything. Here's one t...

Hi. So I used your converter to make an ISF file https://magicmusicvisuals.com/utils/shadertoy_to_isf.php I followed the instructions (changed the text file extension to .fs) and can't seem to get Magic to recognise the new shader and folder created. I've made one in the actual Magic/Modules2/ISF fo...

OK - I'm an idiot. I won't go into detail, but yes. Something I forgot to check.

As you were and sorry to bother you!

Have you tried using LoopBe1 ( http://www.nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html )? It lets you forward MIDI data between programs without any modification of the data.

Hi. I have MIDI notes triggering various things in my setup, but I've noticed that the note and velocity (probably others too, but haven't tried) comes in and randomly changes value by a tiny, fixed amount every time, even when the same data is being sent. It's around 0.01, so small but obviously it...

Hi. Is there a module or settings to achieve this kind of effect?

Thanks.

Yes! Bloody genius, thanks.

Hi. I'm trying to do what I thought would be a simple thing, and that is using MIDI note data to trigger JPEGS. I've tried putting image modules thought the input selector, but can't work out how to actually get that to work. I'm hoping it's clever use of modifiers, but I'm not to versed in the fine...
