Matt, Karina and Christina's Awesome Patch!

By -
Here's our patch! The class didn't get to see it, but what it basically does is add effects like aging, ascii, motion tracking and kaleidoscope to a .mov of your choosing while outputting and receiving MIDI data to and from Ableton. As our video we chose Animal Collective's My Girls.

For blogging purposes we created a short video using Jing to show some of the effects, however the recording didn't capture the effects as fluidly as they actually appear on screen (the cube doesn't really twitch like that!) I had a hard time embedding the video properly so here is the direct link;
Jing Recording: Video Sample 

Our patch really fun to play around with. If you want to try it just make sure your video is encoded using Photo-JPEG. If you have Quicktime Pro 7 just open the video you want to use then;
File> Export> Options> Settings (Under Video)> and set the Compression Type to "Photo - JPEG"

This is what it looks like in Pd,















and here is what it should look like in Ableton.













The first track receives MIDI from Pd, the second sends Pd MIDI from an imported track while the fourth plays that same track and on the third track you can input your own MIDI using your keyboard.

Presentation Discussion

By Matt -
I figured we'd want to start a discussion for when to do our presentations. I figured we could start Friday during normal class hours and then finish up around 2. I think everyone should all respond in the comments with our thoughts. Remember if you don't use your voice you have no right to complain about the schedule after it's made.
