Modul8 announcement
Hello everyone!
We apologize for sending you the same info again, however we found out that there were some encoding problems with the last mailing and we wanted to correct this by sending the message again so you received the information without any problems.
We also did not include a very important piece of information about Mad_Lab: You will need to donwload MadMapper v1.0.2 in order to use the Mad_Lab applications.
MadMapper
As of this writing 'projection mapping' is one of the fastest growing mediums, being used in a variety of artistic and commercial projects. The basic idea: take a projector, point it at a physcial volume like an object or an architectural element, and then map an image onto it.
The MadMapper is a collaboration between GarageCUBE and 1024 architecture. The MadMapper provides a simple and easy tool for mapping projections. It removes a lot of the confusion related to this medium, effectively demystifying the process, allowing you, the artist or designer to focus on creating your content, and making the experience of mapping textures to physical objects in real time, fun.
MadMapper is built around the idea of sharing video content between applications. To accomplish this task, MadMapper uses a Mac OS X based framework called Syphon. Any application that can send its output to Syphon server will automatically available to MadMapper for perspective transformations and warping.
There is an ever-growing list of software supporting the Syphon framework, such as:
- Modul8 (v2.6.2 or greater)
- Quartz Composer
- VDMX 5
- OpenFrameworks
- Cinder
- MaxMsp/Jitter
- Unity3D
- Processing (soon)
- Resolume via FreeFrameGL
- Isadora via Matthew Haber's Actor
The approach that one should assume with MadMapper is that it is extracting elements from a source, generally referred to as 'the input.' This 'input' can be any material you import into MadMapper, such as an image, QuickTime move or Syphon input. These extracted elements are called 'surfaces' that consist of multiple geometric primitives, such as a quad, a triangle or a grid. These surfaces can then ben transformed and arranged as desired within the video canvas called 'the stage.'
Features:
- Unlimited amount of mapped elements
- Quads, triangles and mask elements (more to come)
- Grid Warping (upt to 30 by 30 subdivisions)
- Unlimited undo levels
- Multiple selection of elements
- Named selection sets
- Save and Load configurations
- Opacity and Blending modes for each element
- Flipping options
- Master opacity to blackout the whole projection
- Display of images, QuickTime movis or Syphon inputs
- Export as SVG / PNG / PDF
- Spacial Scanner to turn your video-projector into a 2d scanner
A single license for 2 computers costs 299 euros. If you have a Modul8 serial number, we provide a discount that is accessible through the yourspace page (http://www.modul8.ch/yourspace) that provides you with a link to buy MadMapper for 199 euros.
- MadMapper 1.0.2:
We have also released an update of MadMapper with the following changes:
- New keyboard shortcuts to toggle fullscreen on/off, same as Modul8
- New warnings to help you use the Spacial Scanner more efficiently
- Testcard showing the MadMapper logo
- Default blending mode is Over Premultiplied for improved Modul8 compatibility
- Interface settings are now saved in Preferences
- A new Quad now automatically fills the entire view in the preview window, based on the current zoom level
- Support for the new Mad_Lab applications
- Mad_Lab tools
With the release of MadMapper we are also releasing some companion applications that will expand your tool set for creating exciting video mappings. Here comes the Mad_Lab, a labratory for experimental softwares that contain a bunch of little apps, each focusing on a special aspect we will eventualy integrate into MadMapper.
You'll need to be a registered user of MadMapper in order to run these following apps:
- MAD_Line: Allows you to draw lines and animate them in realtime. It also features an export to SVG function
- MAD_GraphicsPatterns: Dynamically generates graphical content that can be mapped with MadMapper
- MAD_VideoDelay: Delays the incoming iSight feed and places each iteration on a grid
- MAD_TextureDoubler: Allows for 2 incoming Syphon inputs into one. Good for mixing VDMX and Modul8 at the same time
- MAD_GridMaker: A simple generated an animatable grid
- MAD_Equalizer: Generates a customizable audio-reactive EQ
- MAD_KinectMasker: Use your Kinect to create realtime masks
WARNING! You must download MadMapper v1.0.2 in order to use the Mad_Lab applications.
- Modul8 v2.6.3
- Syphon SDK Public Beta 2 - fixed an issue with OS X 10.7 Lion
- Fixed some issues with alpha channels when using shared textures in Syphon

Super 8 Privátfilmek
A SUPER8.HU Európa egyik legnagyobb online kutatható archívuma mintegy 2000 órányi tartalommal. Az egyedülállóan gazdag gyűjtemény az 1930 és 1990 közötti hat évtized vizuális ujjlenyomata, olyan filmarchívum, amely hitelesen mutatja be, hogyan nézett ki a világ a digitális korszak előtt. Magyarország első és egyetlen Super8 lelőhelye időutazás a múltba, hiszen Alaszkától a kínai nagy falig, a május elsejei felvonulástól a karácsonyi vacsoráig a világ szinte minden pontjáról és pillanatáról kiderül, hogyan nézett ki 30, 40 vagy akár 70 évvel ezelőtt. A folyamatosan bővülő mozgóképtár kötelező feladat archív anyagokra vadászó filmkészítőknek, reklámfilmeseknek, VJ-knek, vagy azoknak a filmszeretőknek, akik pusztán látni szeretnék, hogyan éltek a nagyszülők.
"The SUPER8.HU is one of Europe's largest searchable online archive with approximately 2,000 hours of content. The uniquely rich collection is the visual fingerprint of six decades between 1930 and 1990, such a film archive, which credibly shows how the world was looked like before the digital age. Hungarys first and only Super8 site is a kind of time-travel into the past, as it presents almost every point and moment of the world from Alaska to the Great Wall in China, the May Day procession and the Christmas dinner, how the world was 30, 40 or even 70 years ago. The continually expanding archival visual materials are optional task for movie producers, commercial makers, VJs or those film-lovers who just simply want to see how the grandparents lived.

B-Seite
.lov. szombaton postolta a következőt a nonamevj-n:
" B-Seite
Idén harmadik alkalommal kerül megrendezése a B-Seite Festival a németországi Mannheim-ban. A fesztivál a mai napon indul és egy hétig tart, remek programokkal, és ezúttal magyar vonatkozásban is tartogat két igen érdekes workshopot: Pixelnoizz 3 napos Quartz Composer workshopját illetve Lucy Benson CoGe workshopját. Utóbbi érdekessége, hogy a hamarosan megjelenő beta2 változat kerül bemutatásra, így a fesztivál látógatói az elsők közt próbálhatják ki a szoftver új funkciót.
Szóval, aki Németországban lesz az elkövetkezendő 1 hétben, ne hagyja ki a fesztivált!

fugWrapperGL: FreeFrame 1.0 plugin-ek FreeFrameGL 1.5 környezetben
" Vannak arcok/közösségek, akik elhivatottsága és munkája nyomán ezrek kapnak új lehetőségeket. A Bigfug új fugWrapperGL plugin-je a legújabb kedvenc: lehetőséget nyújt a VJ-knek a régi klasszikus FreeFrame (1.0) effektek futtatására FreeFrameGL (1.5) környezetben, az utóbbi minden áldásos előnyével – és itt főképp a szuper teljesítmény növekedésre gondolok.
A plugin még alpha fázisban van, ezért ne csodálkozz, ha néha fagyásokba vagy egyéb fura dolgokba futsz bele, javaslom, hogy ne élőben használd, hanem vedd fel a kimenetet, és azt mix-eld össze más layer-ekkel.
A hardcore arcoknak még jó hír, hogy szintén elérhető a Bigfug FreeFrameGL Streaming plugin, amellyel videó osztható meg FFGL alkalmazások között. A programozók pedig örülhetnek a fugCompilerGL-nek, mellyel saját FFGL plugin-ek készíthetők (viszonylag) egyszerűen.
További infók a Bigfug weboldalon, a plugin-ek pedig ingyen letölthetők itt. "

Quartz Composer alapozó workshop
" Március 6-án szombaton, délután 2 órától Quartz Composer alapozó workshopot tartunk a VJ Centrumban, Bios és .lov. prezentálásában.
A Quartz Composer egy ingyenes, node-alapú vizuális programozási nyelv OSX platformra. A most szombati workshop alkalmával szó lesz a QC történetőrél, hogy miért is jó ez a technológia, és hogy mire használhatjuk. Megismerkedünk a szoftver alapvető tulajdonságaival, a kompozíció készítés alapjaival, szóval, ez egy alapozó kurzus lesz, de ha már ismered, használod az alkalmazást, akkor is hasznos lehet.
A Quartz Composer 4-et, azaz a Snow Leopard-os verziót fogjuk használni, ha régebbi rendszered van az sem gond, de pár bemutatott dolog nem fog működni.
Kérünk mindenkit akit érdekel a dolog, a szombati workshop előtt telepítse fel az XCode Developer Tools a rendszerére, ugyanis a QC ennek a csomagnak a része.
Letöltés itt (regisztrációt igényel): XCode 3.2.1 Developer Tools
Terveink szerint, ha több embert is érdekel a dolog, havi rendszereséggel tartunk majd egy QC workshop napot. "

Quartz Composer felhívás!
" Ali Demirel, a Contakt event-ek VJ-je és Richie Hawtin, az M-nus label feje új Quartz Composer kompozíciókat keresnek, melyeket Hawtin DJ-Set-ek és Contakt rendezvények alatt használnának. A díjazás egyenlőre ködös, ami biztos hogy a készítők neve fel lenne tüntetve a show folyamán, de a beérkezett munkák minőségének függvényében bármi megtörténhet...
A szabályok a következők:
- Quartz Composer 4.0 (Snow Leopard) alatt qtz-k kellenek
- az élő interakció miatt sok változtatható paraméter kell
- 2:1-es méretarányú LED screenekre, kell tervezni, maximum 800x400-as felbontással
- a stílusra nincs semmi feltétel, de passzolnia kell a megszokott M-nus/Hawtin stílusba
- a file nem lehet nagyobb 1mb-nál, és e-mailben kell elküldeni a quartzcomposer@richiehawtin.com címre, a tárgyban pedig a Quartz Composer Submission megjelölni
- videó file-ok nem kellenek, de ha be akarod mutatni a qtz-t zenével, akkor töltsd fel Vimeo-ra és küld el a linket - de a qtz-t is!
- Hawtin és Ali "zsűrízi" a beküldött munkákat, a kiválasztottakat e-mailben értesítik.
- határidő nincs, egész évben várják a munkákat.
Példaként itt egy qtz melyet Toneburst készített pár éve: tb_soundflower
S amelyet így használtak a show alatt: "

Mouse VJ controller? - Ilyen lehet a Magic Mouse utódja
" Az Egyesült Államok Szabadalmi Hivatala bejegyzett egy szabadalmat, ami az Apple Magic Mouse-ának jövőjére utalhat. A leírás három új érzékelőt és egy hármas-tengelyű giroszkópot tartalmaz, ami érzékeli a forgatást, az előre-hátra és oldalra döntést. Az első a vízszintes, a második a függőleges gördítéssel lenne egyenlő. A harmadikkal például képeket lehetne elforgatni. (Lásd a fenti képet!) Továbbá az egér alja a szabadalom szerint domború lenne, hogy ezeket a dőltéseket könnyebben lehessen megejteni.A Patently Apple oldalán megnézhetitek a teljes alkalmazást és több képet is találhattok itt.
Persze az Apple levédet sok olyan technológiát is, ami aztán soha nem kerül gyártásba.
A Magic Mouse az első multi-touch egér, ami a tavalyi kiadásával leváltotta a Mighty Mouse-t. Már csak azt kell kivárnunk, hogy ezt a legújabb, még csodásabb egeret egyáltalán gyártani kezdjék. "

" Apple Wants the Magic Mouse to Rock'n Roll!
On February 18, 2010, the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple that reveals one of the next possible chapters for Apple's Magic Mouse. Apple introduced the world's first Multi-Touch Mouse this past October. The Magic Mouse features a seamless touch-sensitive enclosure that allows it to be a single or multi-button mouse with advanced gesture support. Using intuitive gestures, users can easily scroll through long documents, pan across large images or swipe to move forward or backward through a collection of web pages or photos. In January of this year, we were able to see the first installation of technologies related to advancing the Magic Mouse and today, Apple sheds more light on the advances that they're considering. Today's patent focuses on introducing a "rotatable mouse" using new sensors and a triple-axes gyroscope that detects the roll, pitch, and yaw of the mouse. That translates in allowing the user to tilt the mouse one way to cause a horizontal scroll and another way to cause a vertical scroll and yet another to tilt a graphic as shown above. The other change that you'll notice in the graphic above is that the bottom of the mouse is described in terms of it having a convex bottom design so as to make it easier to cause scrolling and other events by simply rocking or rolling the mouse. It's so simple, that it's brilliant.
Patent Overview
Examples of the invention as described herein allow for additional movement of a mouse adapted to operate on a support surface. The examples are described herein primarily in the context of having a rotatable mouse situated on the support surface where a rotation of the mouse relative to a pivot point translates into a particular event.
As an example, such a mouse has a bottom surface with a convex shape. This convex shape allows the mouse to be rotatable on the support surface. This mouse includes a surface tracking sensor that detects translational movement of the mouse along the support surface. Additionally included are one or more orientation sensors that detect the rotational movement of the mouse.
A rotation of the mouse is used for moving content displayed on a processing system, such as a computer. As one example, a rotational movement of the mouse may translate into a scroll event that, when processed by the processing system, scrolls the displayed content. In another example, a rotational movement of the mouse may translate into a yaw event that, when processed by the processing system, rotates the displayed content... "

iPad - VJ controller?
Tegnap bemutatta az Apple a nagy várakozással titkolt, de sokaknak (kreatív profiknak) - egyenlőre - csalódást keltő iPad-et.De van remény, gondoljatok bele!
Már iPhone-ra is léteztek midi és OSC kontroller alkalmazások, amiket több-kevesebb sikerrel próbálgattun-alkalmaztunk vizuális programokhoz. Most ezek az iPad nagyobb érintőkijelzőjén könnyebben működtethetők és ha a fejlesztők már erre a platformra fejleszthetnek (tegnaptól), akkor hamarosan egy Lemur szintű touchsreen VJ kontrollerünk lehet a Lemur árának töredékéért.
Szerintem ezért (is) érdemes figyelni az iPad jövőjét...

VJ CENTRUM
A VJ Centrum egy stúdió, mely Magyarország első vj műhelyeként működik. Olyan központi helyként funkcionál, ahol workshopokat, előadásokat, kerekasztal beszélgetéseket, technikai bemutatókat szervezünk. Ezen felül teret szolgáltat kreatív, egyedi látásmóddal rendelkező „médiaművészek”, alkotócsoportok bemutatkozására, egyéni projektek átbeszélésére, elemzésére, kivitelezésére és vj oktatásra.
Ideális helyszín a Tűzraktér lett (Budapesten, a Hegedű utca 3. szám alatt), mivel ott rengeteg technikai feltétel adott, valamint számos párhuzamosan működő alkotói csoporttal együttműködve multidiszciplináris kísérleti megoldások kipróbálására, fejlesztésére is lehetőség nyílik.
Előzmények
Pár évvel ezelőtt - úgy 2000 környékén - egyre több partyban bukkantak fel a vetítésért felelős visual- v. video-jockey-k hazánkban is. Azóta nagy teret hódított magának ez a műfaj, de a elektronikus zenei kultúrával kapcsolatos fórumok nem adnak elegendő információt a témában. Ezért gondoltuk - több csapat, akik ebben a műfajban, vagy különböző határterületein ténykednek - hogy összehozunk dinamikus munkára képes szakmai szövetséget és egyben tudástárat, melyben bárki kedvére tájékozódhat, nézelődhet, hozzászólhat, vitatkozhat és ötletelhet. Összegyűjtöttük, amit találtunk és írtuk, amit gondoltunk. A kezdeményezés mára nemcsak a virtuális térben, hanem a valós underground médiaszíntéren is jelen van.

Akai Does Mini MIDI Keyboard, Pads, a la Korg nano
Az Akai megirigyelte a Korg Nano széria sikerét és kihozta a saját változatát. Eddig ennyit lehet róla tudni:
" Korg’s nano series has been a huge hit. Now it’s Akai’s turn, with their own mini USB pad and keyboard controllers. (Note: given lengthy product turnaround in this industry, these may actually have been designed before the nano – but that’s not as important, ultimately, as which models you like.) The Akai assumes you want something that’s a bit bulkier than the Korg nano line – with, presumably, a payoff in playability.
MusicRadar gets the scoop on the mini models to be announced at Summer NAMM. (Really? People still go to that?) Our friend Ben Rogerson says Akai tells them these are expected Q3 of this year – just in time for back to school. Matrixsynth posted the full press release though we do expect official details Friday.
Update: Akai tells CDM they will make the official announcement on Friday, by which time we’ll have more details to share.
The LPK25 keyboard looks like the biggest competitor here. Korg’s competing nanoKEY sacrifices quite a bit of playability to fit into an ultra-compact space, with an action that — while, incredibly, velocity-sensitive — feels like a laptop keyboard. The LPK25 has some sort of synth action. That ups the weight to “under a pound,” and it remains to be seen whether Akai will match Korg’s unbelievable US$60 street price. But for actually playing a keyboard, the LPK looks like it could be the one to beat – while still fitting on a coach airplane seat tray along with your netbook. And it’s got an arpeggiator, too, not that you really need one with something that only works with software.
The LPD8 is interesting, too, with 8 pads and 8 knobs. But here, to me the Korg may continue to reign supreme. I don’t see scene controls on the Akai LPD8, for one. (I thought the Akai didn’t have scenes, but it looks like program changes 1-4 are that — albeit minus those handy LEDs on the Korg.) Korg’s ultra-light pads — unlike the keyboard — are eminently playable, and feel fantastic. And while the Akai knobs are nice, I imagine I’ll still prefer the hold/flam/roll buttons and X/Y trackpad controller on the Korg. Korg also has some terrific software editing functions. Of course, some people would rather have knobs. That’s why choice is good.
That said, the LPK25 promises to fill a niche I’ve been waiting for someone to fill — a tiny keyboard you can throw in your backpack for programming tunes in a coffee shop.
Stay tuned – I’m finishing up not only a mini (ahem) review of the nanos this week, but also some new templates and scripts that make them easier to use with Ableton Live. "
