Prototype of a midi keyboard, using 2.0b.
It can read midifiles and/or live midi input. Parameter of the scene can be controlled by midi CCs. (model ,color, movement, position, background).
I've used a lot of globals in this one. No hiccups during the building process, all is running fine on an old laptop.

All excellent but I especially like the first example.

Thanks Sadler.
The live control can't be seen in these rendered movies but I can go gradually from one to another sort of visual by adjusting knobs on my midi keyboard.
I'll put another footage for this when V2 will be released.

What I am looking for now is a way to store presets, when I have set all my knobs with midi controlers.
Of course this is not a feature request
(not yet ;)

2d test.
I made a midi song in Cubase. I've found a nice setup: Midi out is connected to Cubase and Magic so I can work visuals and music together. The song was then exported as wav file (for soundtrack only) and as midifile: 2 channels: ch1 for synth notes and all the midi CCs, ch 2 for drums (background animation)
Now that I have my visual keyboard template, making visual midifiles is just a fun game. Thank Eric!!!
