From: "Hartung, Kris" Oh now you're out of control, Ben. :) >>> LOL!<<< Yes, very tempting idea. I like the interactive aspect. I wonder if there is a way to allow the audience to modify the effect and presets one uses? For instance, I'm laying down a loop, and some audience member tweaks something that switches my effect from something on my Boss VH1 to something on my computer, like Antares Filter. I'm afraid to ask what sort of contraption I would need to get audience input into a MIDI program change signal. A light based, effect grid projected on the wall that was touch sensitive by a pencil-like laser would be an easy way. You could hand a few lasers out and let the audience go hog wild....could also get annoying for a musician after a while too. >>> Perhaps you can have a look to this >>> http://infusionsystems.com/catalog/index.php? Lots of ideas,... I was also thinking of buing some cheap midi controllers (like the behringer ones) or theremins and give them to the audience. The point is: how to get them back after the show? The advantage of sounder (try the free demo, the site has been reloaded lately, so perhaps some good upgrade will be available soon) is that you can chosse a specific chord to jam over. The objects bounce inside a square triggering a note when they touch the sides (up to 4 notes). You can easily change the mood by relaunching an object in another direction,another speed,... Anyway, letting someone (the audience or a SW tool) create some base on top of which you can add layers can bring you in un-expected directions. <<< Btw, I'm still warming up to the idea of programs that "create" music for me....it either scares me, or intrigues me...one, the other ,or both... >>>Sound and Vision are linked and I can't myself see one without the >other >>>(see also coagula on http://hem.passagen.se/rasmuse/Coagula.htm). I've always been interesting by the "moving lights" (scanner, robocolor,...) that follow the music. IMHO, it's more interresting to listen to a tune in WinAmp with the visualization turned on. I recently tested some realtime rendering tools (http://www.vjcentral.com) but I would need a PC for audio (mobius/VST) and another for the visual effects + a LCD projector or 10 LCD screens ;-) Too expensive for the time beeing ;-) <<< Ben. ___________________________________________________________________________ Appel audio GRATUIT partout dans le monde avec le nouveau Yahoo!
