MixEmergency 3.2.0 Public Beta

Nick

[Edit: the official release of MixEmergency 3.2.0 is out now.] Hi folks, I’m releasing this as a public beta version to get feedback on any potential issues before it is released as the final version of MixEmergency 3.2.0. Please be aware that, while this has been thoroughly tested, it is still a beta version, and should be treated as such. I highly recommend that you keep a copy of MixEmergency 3.1.1 on your computer in case you need to revert to this. If you notice any new issues with this version, please e-mail your feedback to support@inklen.com, or add your comment to this discussion. The list of changes in this public beta of MixEmergency 3.2.0 are: - Added playback of MixEmergency Media Sequences. - Added Media Sequence Editor. - Added collapsable sections to the Overlays window. - Added Blend Modes for the NDI and Syphon Overlays. - Added Phoenix and Glow Blend Modes. - Added custom dimensions for NDI output. - Added options to the pop-up menus of the Sample Player to add NDI and Syphon inputs. - Added support for relative paths in all Preset types. - Updated NDI to use the latest v2 SDK. - Reduced the minimum dimensions of the Preview windows. - Reduced CPU usage when crossfading. - Fixed an issue that would cause Serato DJ XML metadata to not be read in some cases. - Fixed a potential crash when using the Text Overlay. - Fixed a bug where the a connected screen could not be used if it had the same name as another screen. - Fixed a potential locking issue when starting MixEmergency. - Fixed a bug where memory available to the GPU was incorrectly reported when it was over 2GB. - Fixed a bug where the full list of Blend Modes was not available to the Sample Player. - Fixed a bug where MIDI increment/decrement would not work for the control mode of MixEmergency's effects. - Correctly set the minimum macOS version to 10.8. - Fixed small memory leaks.

Has the bug when rendering a recorded set 3.? would freeze and stop. Seem to remember you had to hop back to an older version.

Nick

If you were having this issue before, could you please try again with this version?

what kind of media is recommended for the new Media Sequence Editor? can we save presets in the presets bank to make it easy to recall?

dj_marv

how do we use the media sequencer? i mean how to make it active?

Nick

You save sequences as their own file type. Then you can load a sequence file into MixEmergency like you would any other media (e.g. a video, or Quartz Composition).

Thanks. Will try it out.

Respect. always innovating Nick. Blend modes for NDI and syphon got me smiling bigtime!

dj_marv

i tried with some visuals and there was no movement. it cycled through like a "powerpoint" [still images of each video] what am i doing wrong? the visuals are h.264 encoded mov files

dj_marv

Take that back works now

Now I know why it didn't work right the first time. I changed the second parameter from BPM to Beats. What's the beat drop menu option for then?

Nick

Did you have the BPM/beat grid set on the audio track that you were playing? The BPM mode bases the speed of the video on a relative adjustment to the audio (so, if the video is set to 240 BPM, and your audio track is 120 BPM, then the video should play at half speed).

dj_marv

Ok I see the default for the media sequencer is at 120 bpm and 8 beats interval. 1. Say the native BPM of the loaded clip is 100 what happens 2. Say the BPM of the playing Serato track is 85 what happens 3. If change the drop down from BPM to Beats (default is 8 bpm) what is meant to happen? Btw when I changed from BPM to Beats I get just still images as against movie clip.

Nick

I'll see if I can reproduce this. 1) If the video is 100 BPM, and the audio is playing at 120 BPM, then the video will play at 1.2x speed. 2) If the Serato track slows down to 85 BPM, then this 100 BPM video will then play at 0.85x speed. 3) The "Beats" allows you to set the duration of the clip in beats. So, if the video is exactly 2 seconds long, and you set the Beats value to 4 (that is, telling MixEmergency that the video has 4 beats over 2 seconds), then MixEmergency treats this video as though it is 120 BPM.

dj_marv

Many thanks for explaining that. so the 120 bpm that is written has no bearing on the bpm of the loaded clip? many of my clip visuals don't have audio tracks, so i dont know the bpm. Another question how do i wipe ME midi. I'm trying to map a new controller and even before inputting anything some of the buttons are triggering events in ME.

frank

downloading the beta see how it goes..

Nick

The BPM that you can change in the Media Sequence will affect the speed of the video, relative to whatever audio is playing. To reset all MIDI controls in ME... go to the menu bar, select "Window", then "MIDI", then push the "Reset" button on the MIDI window that opens.

Can’t wait to try this! And also with High Sierra

geeebeee

Nick - no plans to support Rekordbox? I was planning to upgrade my controller :(

Nick

No, no planned Rekordbox support at this stage.
