There is no problem panning your inputs using the AU Matrix Mixer. However, you will not be able to achieve frequency analysis on 8 channels of audio as you can see the inputs are currently limited to 4 and audio analysis is done as a mono track (I believe it is the first channel of a multi-channel track). There is currently no way to select the channel to be analysed from a multi-channel audio track.

@woland thanks so much - all sorted! Best, David

@CitizenJoe @DusX @Woland 

These are some great ideas. I really like that suggestion from @CitizenJoe of making a video overlay. I can just make a video of a white wall being lit up by a flickering flame and overlay that on the video. That seems like the simplest (if I can make a decent film) and probably uses the least cpu/gpu.of making a video overlay.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give that a try.

Hi there Taly!

So for formatting strings we can use the actor "Text Formatter". Double click on the actor and a little window will open, in that window we can use the P (for parameter) followed by an index starting from 1 to say what parameter we wish to use.

So let's say we have the text

"command=hello world"

and we wish to change the text after the = to do so we use the following.

"command=" P1

If we now press OK, mutate the input of the param 1 to text (simply connect an trigger text to it) we now see that when we change the Trigger Text input / trigger it that the output of the Text Formatter changes.

Hi there Merni!

Thank you so much for getting back to us / letting us know that everything worked out for you.
And no, the team is working hard on the next release. When the feature is done we will release it to our beta testers, your interest has been noted :)

Thanks again.

@bonemap Cheers Russell - I think Loopback and live capture could be a good workaround for now 👍

The issue with 'periods' being blocked from entry is due to File Path input fields having some error checking implemented, and the nature of the 'Show Value of Linked Properties' feature.
It is possible to enter the text indirectly via a trigger text actor (or other text actors). 
We are looking into modifying this behavior for a future version.

@dbini Thanks so much!  I suspected there was something about the x/y updates and the speed of particle being generated.  What you told me makes perfect sense and works!

This is kind of a follow up question, but can you think of a way to prevent particles flying away when "gf strength" is set to a positive number to attract particles?  What's happening right now is once the particles gather to the gf core (? I'm not sure what to call it), they fly away as if they were repelled.  I want to make the particles keep following the gf core.

Thanks!

@dusx Thanks! - yes that makes total sense. D 😊

@woland THANK YOU!!!

@bonemap Russell is correct of course. Translating textures is a chapter in and of its own. I have never used any free/online converters for the task. 

@jules-0 goed bezig. Succes!

One option  to use the OpenNI Tracker with the Eyes++ is by way of the depth camera video output: The following screengrab indicates a process with Eyes++ that takes advantage of the white point threshold associated with the depth camera video image.

@vic Isadora does not have any audio actors like these available for Windows at this time. The best option I can think of is to use https://voicemeeter.com as a virtual router/mixer (you may need their virtual audio cable as well). Once you setup the audio routing, you can configure Voice Meeter MIDI mapping to allow you to control it from Isadora.

dear @woland 

thanks a lot- this indeed was my issue!

Can I purchase old software ?

Answer: Please open a ticket using the link in my signature and my colleagues on the Sales & Licensing Team will explain our policy on this.

I can only puchase with monteray will I have issues running old isadora software on monteray ?

Unfortunately, Isadora 2 is a 32bit application and Apple removed the ability to run 32bit applications in macOS Catalina, so Catalina, Big Sur, and Monterey cannot run Isadora 2. This was a decision Apple made and so, unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it. 

Isadora 3.1 added preliminary support for macOS 12.x Monterey, and based on our testing and lack of any issues reported to us by users of Isadora 3.1.1 on Monterey, you should be fine running Isadora 3.1.1 on Monterey.

I have used my old version on hundreds of theatre shows no problems. Also know all the editing features on old software 

If you know Isadora 2, you'll be able to pick up Isadora 3 easily. We even have a number of helpful Video Tutorials (Isadora 101 Playlist and Learn Isadora 3 Playlist) that can help you get into Isadora 3. The biggest difference in terms of workflow is that Stage Setup has changed significantly. Here's an article on the new Stage Setup that'll help you understand how it works now. Mark also did a live stream Guru Session that focused partially the new Stage Setup.

You may find this thread helpful. 

Another trick is to put your audio Scenes at the very beginning of the file (using a Jump actor in a Scene before them to Jump past them when you first start up the file), and then set the mode on the Activate/Deactivate Scene actors to "absolute". Putting your audio Scenes at the beginning where nothing will be inserted before them means their Scene numbers will never change, and since Activate/Deactivate actors set to "absolute" refer to Scenes by Scene number (instead of relative to the current Scene like +1 or -2), your Activate/Deactivate Scene actors will always stay correct, regardless of what Scenes you add or delete in the Scenes after the Audio Scenes that you've placed at the beginning of the Scene List.

Here's an example file of this method: background-audio-activate-deactivate.izz

Potresti trovare utile questo thread. 

Un altro trucco è quello di mettere le tue Scene audio all'inizio del file (usando un attore Jump in una Scena prima di loro per saltare oltre quando avvii il file per la prima volta), e poi impostare il modo sugli attori Attiva/Disattiva Scena su "assoluto". Mettere le vostre Scene audio all'inizio, dove nulla sarà inserito prima di loro, significa che i loro numeri di Scena non cambieranno mai, e poiché gli attori Attiva/Disattiva impostati su "assoluto" si riferiscono alle Scene per numero di Scena (invece che relativamente alla Scena corrente come +1 o -2), i vostri attori Attiva/Disattiva Scena rimarranno sempre corretti, indipendentemente dalle Scene che aggiungete o cancellate nelle Scene dopo le Scene audio che avete messo all'inizio della Lista Scena.

Ecco un file di esempio di questo metodo: background-audio-activate-deactivate.izz

I migliori auguri,

Woland

@dbini @Juriaan i will look into all of those, thank you both very much !!

@adicas78

Do you have the USB power adapter for the Kinect 1414?
something like this. 

@dbini

Yes! Thank you!

This helps a lot.
