Magic Music Visuals

Appreciate the quick reply. I have a single key that is good for 4 activations. I have only use 2 activations and want to deactivate one of those (dead laptop). I've tried an online deactivate and entered my key, response back "That license key has an available activation and therefore does not...

I have 4 licenses, one of those is licensed on a laptop that now has a failed motherboard. I would prefer to go through the License Deactivate process on the laptop if possible, but this laptop will never live again. If I remove the hard disk and can successfully boot it on another laptop, will the ...

And just to emphasize again: the workflow is not designed for you to improvisationally load different projects or add new modules during your performance. Your project should be set up so that it already has all the effects and scenes you need. During your performance, you should focus only on twea...

Thanks for your comments about latency. I've seen that mentioned elsewhere as well. The gig is a week away and with no sign of a provable software solution in my hands, I bought two hardware solutions. Black Magic ATEM Mini Pro ISO $NZ1090 used Basically, a hardware video mixer that will take 4x HDM...

Lots more reading & thinking : Someone else at the same gig wants to send video from their Synesthesia rig into Resolume, so that takes me to a hardware solution which can be shared between my Magic setup and their Synesthesia setup. Looked at HDMI to NDI converter. ~$NZ1000 https://leadingsolut...

Appreciate the suggestion, but as I understand it, Spout and Syphon only work between applications running on the same computer, they can't send video to another computer via a LAN.
NDI will send video across a LAN which is needed if the two applications are running on two different computers.

Testing MagicNDISender before a gig coming up where I need to send my Magic output to a Resolume rig which is doing the mapping and blending. I'm running Performer v2.3 64 bit on my Windows 10 gaming laptop. Installed MagicNDISender & receiver plug ins. These load ok and allow me to place the se...

Did some more reading. Syphon and Spout won't solve this for me, but NDI will. Found an NDI module for Magic https://github.com/leadedge/MagicNDI Windows only The use case, is I'm doing a VJ session at a festival in a few weeks. They are using multiple projectors, blended into a single large image. ...

Was Magic and Resolume running on the same laptop ?

I have a requirement to spout from Magic on one laptop to Resolume on the laptop next to me.
I know I need to use Spout, but not sure how to get it from one laptop to another.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Needed for a gig on April 16, 2021

Thanks, that gives me a good start.
I've also learned to look for USB-C that supports Displayport (not all USB-C does this).

I'm in a similar boat to you. I've Magic to run on my 2013 MacBook Pro and it was flatlining the CPUs, so while I'd love to buy a late model MacBook, that's beyond my budget, so I'm shopping for a Windows laptop. I've read all the specs, but it's a nightmare translating that into a model number that...

I did find that in the manual, but I don't think my poor brain made the connection between the page I was looking at and the problem I was trying to solve.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
I've got it working now.

I'm shifting from TouchOSC on an iPad to a Novation Launchcontrol (using MIDI). TouchOSC let's me set the exact parameter range required for each control (eg -5 to +5 for a rotary control). The Launchpad is only sending 0-127 (as per MIDI). I can't work out where/how to translate a number in the 0-1...

Solved. No software drivers needed, I just needed to follow these steps : Ensure Launch Control is plugged in and be 'heard' by the Mac. Used Protokol (https://hexler.net/products/protokol) to verify that Launch Control was all working ok. Open Input Sources (Window menu) Click down pointing triangl...

Hi, I'm using MMV Performer on my Mac Pro. It's been working well with TouchOSC on an iPad, but to gain some physical controls (twiddly knobs), I've added a used Novation Launch Control. I've used OSC learning to program for the OSC controls, but the same method doesn't seem to detect anything from ...
