Magic Music Visuals

Hey Eric,
Im curious if setting up a RAM disk offers any advantages when rendering or if its something mainly to be used for realtime manipulation.

You may be able to do this with unity via spout 2

Thanks for these! I had been scratching my head trying to do some kind of chromakey effect with the Resolume plugins without any success.

That would be swell. Or if its possible, to drag a file into Magic from an OS folder and have it generate its corresponding module.

For images, videos, models This may or may not be possible, but It would be pretty cool to have as a feature. Often times I end up moving around the assets for my projects which means going back and linking them again through the file browser. I do try and keep projects self contained to their folde...

This looks like so much fun! How many makey makey kits did you need for this?

Been holding onto this one. I was working on this for a festival during the summer only to find out that the artist was playing during the day... I used bits of it that night for a completely different performance :P I tried to stick to his aesthetic as best I could. https://vimeo.com/104578045 Orig...

This would be fun to play with once OSC is added: http://www.duration.cc/

I've done longer improvised shows that have been more grueling. The key I've found is to have good pacing so that you don't run out of material/fx. I'm still figuring out a workflow with Magic that has more control over the visuals. Most of my sets so far have ended up really improvised haha I like ...

Had a chance to do the visuals at a local arts and music festival. Luckily, someone there was recording most of the night. My intention was to have audio in from the mixer, but things change up so much during shows. I should probably make a better effort to communicate this for future gigs. My mic i...

Big fug has http://www.bigfug.com/software/audiobox/ although I haven't used this either.

Oops, yea I meant trails. Im sure it can be created with just magic modules and not anything else. I looked at it again and it looks like maybe luma and trails. If I can find an example in one of my files, Ill post it for you.

Ive done something similar with big fugs feedback plugin within Magic. Sometimes I'll combine that with the built in feedback effect. Thats my guess

I haven't tried it out myself yet but its the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread

Is it possible to have a module that allows for an image, video, space, etc, to be emitted with one of the parameters being a trigger? For example, activating this parameter once would generate 1 instance of the object. And activating it multiple times would generate more instances which could then ...

My friend was able to get it to work by signing the kinect driver as instructed here: http://www.ni-mate.com/faq/ From what he told me he didnt use any other drivers or software, including ni-mate, in order to get this to work. Only the ones that were listed on the vjfx page. When he first told me, ...

A friend of mine was able to get that kinect plugin I posted above to work. I'm going to try again and post results here.

The IP webcam feature in manycam works great. They even have an app so you can connect your phone and use that camera as an input. If you want to get rid of the watermark without going pro, you have to install 4.0.78, and then deselect "Show Manycam logo" under the Text tab. Thats the last...

I tried this and it worked as you stated. Going full screen fixes the problem. But I have to do it for every scene that has a 3d model which I want to use 2D modules on. In the first scene that was problematic, I had model and no modules other than Magic modules. In the second problematic scene I ha...

Good idea. Ill do an audit of the ones I have installed and report back.
