A Few Beginner Questions

[warpcorp]

I am new to Resolume and trying to find out how to do a few things...

I had trouble linking FFT to a paremeter but was able to figure that one out with some more reading.
Now, I am wondering if it is possible to control clip speed and transport (ie: forward and reverse) with FFT.

Also, I would like to know how to setup a global speed control. Can this only be done if all clips are set to timeline mode or do they have to be set as BPM? Is there a way to change the speed slower and faster of all clips at once? How do most of you run your clips, in timeline mode or via BPM?

Hey Warpcorp

Welcome to the world of Resolume!

Out of the box, there is no way to control clip speed or transport via audio FFT. There are a few workarounds possible with OSC, but it would require a second application (like Max or Quartz Composer) to run the analysis and send the OSC data to Resolume.

Probably the easiest way to control the speed of all clips at the same time, is indeed set them to BPM sync, and then change the BPM. Another way would be to use a midi controller, with the same controller rotary or fader mapped to all the speed parameter of all the layers.

Personally, I like to run most of my clips in BPM sync mode, but of course it varies on the content, the music, the crowd and the venue.

I hope that answers your questions!

@goto10 do you have any link to a max / qc project that makes this possible?

Here's a very basic example of FFT controlling the playhead of the clip in layer 1 via QC and OSC. Let me know if you have questions about it!

Hi, did you have a little tutorial of how does it works your plug-in??

I'm trying to use an input from a second computer to control the speed of each clip with the frequency of the sound..

The idea is that the speed of the clip can variate with the variation of the frequency that come to resolume...

Something like the FFT solution but for the speed... and with your fantastic exemple plug-in i can't do it to run...

Thanks for your help...

Best

Just now saw this post. This is just a matter of changing the OSC address in the .qtz patch. You want to change it from the address for the playhead (/layer1/video/position/values) to the address for the speed slider (/layer1/video/position/speed).

sorry to bring up an old post, but is there a solution besides quartz?
dont have a mac so cant open the file.
processing or puredata preferabally, vvvv is also an option.

Yup. Here: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5176&p=29853&hilit=playhead#p29853
