@mark I have an Optoma projector and may need to invest in a better one. Do you have any recommendations (understand if you are unable to endorse a product!) taking into account your advice re lumens. BTW I saw the amazing Lulu opera from MET NYC last night and the visuals were incredible - do they use Isadora? Cheers David

Hi there @tomthebom 

In essense you can force the Push2 inside User Mode that allows you to map it as any normal 'midi' controller. You will lose the LCD options, but all other options should work fine, also see this article on their website

https://help.ableton.com/hc/en...

If you then connect it to Isadora you should be able to see the Incoming Midi Messages inside the Status and Monitor windows. If you know that you will be able to make some nice User actors / Macro's for it

@dbin merci beaucoup

@dako-arkYes, the error shows the the shader cannot be be converted. ""Cannot process ISF Shaders with Vertex Shaders"" means that the program does not yet have the ability to process a shader (.fs file) that has a companion vertex shader (.vs file). We will see to improve this tool, but for now this is a limitation.

ok ... I guessed.

I hope in your furious profiquo.npn job having no skills in this regard.

thank you so much

best wishes

Hi, I've packaged up the Selector solution with User Actors with a completely horrible little Javascript rolodex. But when set up for the first time it is one click to shunt sources around.

@Michel Hi Michel, thank you. Not sure I understand OBS - but I think I will figure out.

Thank you @Juriaan  and @bonemap  for your solutions !! I will try it

Best, 

Maxi

@Michel Thanks for the advice, I'll check the video delay actor. 

@jfg I had a look, I am not sure I know how to recompile, or if I have time, and 2 sec is not long enough.  Maybe I can use a different program for the audio delay. I might try audacity. 

@mark Ah that makes sense, and gets it all in one place so easier to layout.  

Thanks, 

Mark

@mark

thanks again for this.

They tell me they are offered two choices - QTR or Application File.

 I'm sorry for the confusion. It seems the installation instructions were missing in the 0.9.7 release of NDI Watcher.

I've updated the plugin download to v0.9.8 which is the latest version. This includes simplified instructions for installing.

Best Wishes,

Dear All and @mark_m and @jhoepffner 

See this thread for the new actor that will play an SRT file.

Hi, those are great solutions and I didn't realise Isadora could do that. I have some ideas regarding linking multiple eyes together to lock on to the eye shape and then put a cluedo cutout over with a gaussian mask. Have attempted a couple of versions attached sans eyes prior to this. Obv foreground faces not always more luminant than background and a variety of other problems inherent in a non machine vision approach. ndi fakebg.izzndi fakebg2.izz

Ultimately for our application we're going for zero user requirements so trying to avoid asking the user to do anything. However, it could be possible to gamify this step in the interim as an onboarding... Thanks!

Further explorations with Video/Audio input and Izzy. Until I update my computer hardware, processing live video is too much for my laptop. So, currently the best workflow I’ve found is to record the video/audio via OBS as a “raw” take. Afterwards, I bring in the OBS movie into isadora and do all the processing after the fact. Syphon recorder records the Isadora stage visual output, and isadora audio (coming from the movie) is sent to the syphon recorder audio input via Loopback app.

The tunes are nothing special; modular synth sequence played on a Bugbrand 4U synth

Thanks Mark. I arrived late for the session (confused over time!) but just what I need for PhD project with dancer so look forward 😊 it's beyond me how you can answers questions and deliver session and raise consciousness! I totally concur with your comments about artists' responsibilities in current time of inequalities and crisis so thanks for those comments too! Cheers from Yorkshire, David

-1 empty that is just made to route your keyboard or midi file  ( midi from >midi controller) to your Isadora ( midi to > Isadora virtual in)

 ok ... this can come in handy! in fact I had tried with a korg sq-1 sequencer and accepted it from isadora's "show status".

@notdoc

...and part of the problem is that i fail to read to the end of the tutorial where some important scene-control stuff gets explained... a lesson for the future :-)

@tomthebom

Yes that's true it works without the trigger value actor, but only to activate the button, except you invert the values of the button. Trigger value gives you direct control to what state the button should be.

@vidasonik

OK 😞. That's what I see, sort of.

@mc_monte Has been doing a bunch of tricky things with streaming video with synched audio and may have some insight.
