Effect Sequencer on Quartz Overlay

Nick

Do you use iChat/Messages with a Google or AIM account? If you want, perhaps we could screenshare to figure out what's going on.

I can't seem to figure this one out. The closest I got was by sending the Resolume outputs directly back into MixEmergency (meaning bypass the SendReceiveLeft/Right servers). But this created a "hall of mirrors" effect when turning the effect knob from 0-100%. It actually also sucks the video in toward the middle of the screen. If you're available today, tomorrow or Friday then I wouldn't mind screen sharing to show you my issues.

I tried to message you - will try again later today.

I had a few issues with syphon outputs randomly becoming "Unavailable" in Resolume but I think it's almost good to go. Just did a 45 min test mix and it seems to be pretty stable now. Can you think of any reason why the Syphon outputs (usually one of the Send/Recieve servers) would suddenly stop working? My solution right now is to just reload them as it happens.

Nick

Is it in Resolume that you need to reset the MixEmergency Syphon inputs? I'm just thinking that it may be because when you go in and out of full-screen it is probably deleting and then recreating the server (as the effects are recreated for the new screen).

Most times its Resolume, but sometimes the ME effect stops working as well. You're probably right about going in and out of full screen because I was doing a lot of tweaking in Resolume and kept switching screens.

Here's a short clip of everything working. I don't have much space in my studio to get a better camera angle but you will get the idea.

Nice :) Thanks for posting the video.

No problem. Eventually I'll do a short mix (5 min or so) which will show the whole setup (both decks working, overlays, etc...) and post it with a screen grab of the output and camera view of the mixer/decks. My FINAL question (lol)... When I was in Resolume preferences, I noticed there was an option to receive MIDI clock from MixEmergency. I tried enabling this but obviously it did nothing. Is there any way to send MIDI clock from MixEmergency? Perhaps the same way that the effects sequencer syncs to Serato's BPM?

Nick

Right now it's not possible to send MIDI clock from MixEmergency. If you want to record the output of MixEmergency in realtime (which generally I don't recommend, because the built-in system is a lot better - higher quality, more flexible exports, less CPU, etc - but can't be used with the send/receive system as you have it right now), you could try using the Syphon Recorder application: http://syphon.v002.info/recorder/

Ok thanks, I'll try the Syphon Recorder.
