Glad you got this working.

In the development roadmap Izzy will have these actors as GPU based in the future. For now, in 2.1, a few more gpu actors have been added. In the meantime keep the things you need interactive and do the rest non real time as I mentioned, as the new gpu actors are added (should be by the end of the year), add these functions to your patch. You may also find there are ffgl plugins that will do the same - for these you need v2 there are a bunch of posts in the forum about ffgl plugins and where to get them.

Thanks @mark ! I did that ("interactive" mode) and it works without troubles, but now I watch out that the fan of the computer starts with this Isadora version (only 2.1) even with new blank patch open, I attach one screen capture of activity monitor that shows 8 Isadora processes.  it is normal?

Cheers!

Hello,

I"m an izzy guy, but I did videos las year for a Millumimn guy. And Although there is no chance I switch I've seen some very cool features in the software (like input and output mapping mask with adjustable feather or the more recent surfaces (give a look [here](https://vimeo.com/135473235)) or lug and play Kinect Leapmotion and [Arduino without code](https://vimeo.com/135446578).... (brilliant and never seen before idea). Even lights (dmx and art net) are managed without hassle designing where you put them and controlling them individually or in groups. If you have a couple of spare hours to burn.... you can download [here](http://www.millumin.com/v2/) Cheers. Armando

Thank you  for all your info.
I'm also on mac so I'll try  Nimate

Thank you DusX for your help. I'll try to monitor the system to understand my playback problems.

Have a nice day

Yes I did. Sorry. My mind went blank and I couldn't think of your user name. I had to search and copy and paste your username.

Dear @alex,

Thank you. Will put that online. Best, Mark

Just confirming that I can see it.

Hi again,  Problem solved and love them both! Js and original worked both. Yes there is old school approach doing interactive spaces :) I have rs485 network for reliability reasons. I use cheap industrial ADAM modules for polling digital IO. I made a speed test with max 115200 baud. New query was sent immediately after receiving acknowledge message from the IO module. I managed to get 110 query-response in a 1 second with Isadora traditional max 240 cycles. That means 70 digital sensors with polling interval 0.05s. Here is the test rig:

You are welcome, glad we could help.

Hi Michel,

Thanks for your help. I will look into changing my op system. I was keeping at 10.8.5 because it was stable and worked well with Isadora 1 but if you say its time to upgrade to 10.9 I will.

Thanks, Kedar

It doesn't open. I'll try to open with a text editor if Jacques is right, and he often is ;) problem solved. Even though it would be nice to see it somewhere (like a tag in the file name, or like a timestamp stating the izzy version that saved it.)

no problem, with El Capitan and QC.

best ....

@dduke @Armando @gapworks

Dear all, with every new release you will find a bunch of new gpu actors that replace the old ones. Next release is very close. The feather edges is in the todo list, but I can't give you a schedule about that.

Best Michel

Dear Hugh,

Well, you can use the "Go Forward" trigger (look in the Go Triggers dialog) When the trigger is received, it will fire the "Go Forward" actor. Let me know if that's enough to make sense, or if you need further details. Best, Mark

Welcome. I still miss the old forum "have you seen" section though...

@marci is very much a pro!

Great overview Marci thank you. I agree; both mac and PC can be bought fairly cheap or second hand for the best of both worlds. Unless you are building a very big show computer for an install or huge projection mapping project then really having both is the answer; which I know isn't ideal but realistically thats the only way you can have the benefits of both.  _Note: For future readers/newbies or people thinking of buying Isadora and reading this post: _ _I would like to state on Marks behalf (owner and creator) that its not always that he wont make Isadora work the same on windows as it does on mac - sometimes it just physically cant be done. I can say that we talk very often behind the scenes about the windows and mac version and we/Mark try very hard to keep them equal. _

@mark

Thanks Mark! That did the trick. I thought I had the right version of Processing open.  You are the best! best s.o.
