Here is something cool! You can easily add LFOs to Resolume using free software! An LFO is a Low Frequency Oscillator - basically a signal that rises and falls over time.
This program http://www.tobybear.de/p_mcc.html let's you connect a variety of input devices, and convert their output into MIDI signals. It also includes 3 LFOs. (You will also want a virtual MIDI driver like MIDI Yoke or Hubi's Loopback)
So let's say you wanted to animate the alpha of an effect in Resolume:
1) install the MIDI yoke driver
2) start MCC and set it to output to a virtual port
3) define the period and type of the LFO in MCC
4) give it a controller number
5) start Resolume
6) tell it to listen on the same virtual port that MCC is outputting to
7) assign the alpha channel to the MIDI controller that MCC is sending
Presto, your alpha will now oscillate.
Why is this useful? First, some parameters in Resolume can't be animated, such as alpha. Second, it allows you to synchronize multiple parameters simultaneously in Resolume. Third, the motion can be tuned - in Resolume animation just bounces back & forth, MCC allows sine waves, sawtooth, etc.
add LFOs to Resolume!
