Coldcut developed some video looping tools. Their single Hexstatic was a
CD-rom and contained a lot of videos allegedly made using live video
looping. In fact from the sleeve notes it seems that they took this out on
tour with them and it proved successful.
There's a film called 'Heavy Rotation' which uses music
(Tortoise/Coldcut/Autechre) and digital imagery to create - oh I dunno -
vibes (they call it a interplay between sound and vision). Dunno if this is
looping strictly but the flavour is at least there.
Check some Coldcut sites because I'm sure they were looking to license the
technology...
Seems like the artists are making the best tools these days.....
Let me know how you get on if you find anything - a digest summary of image
looping would be good;)

Subject: Any Video Loopers?
I introduced myself a few weeks ago as a new member to Loopers
Delight, and
inquired if anyone had done any looping with reel-to-reel video. I
received no
replies, so I thought I would ask once more! ANYONE WORKED WITH
VIDEO LOOPS?
I have done extensive work in both video and audio using various
looping
techniques, and welcome all inquiries and exchanges of experiences.

I like your observation about people's habits in purchasing hardware.
Indeed, I'd like to have something added to my computer rather than adding
another separate piece of hardware. On the other hand, as Kim has reminded
us in the past, a separate piece of hardware like the EDP does function
more
reliably and speedily than a plug in on my computer.
My point again, if I may, is that eventually we'll have supercomputers
(comparing to our Pentia) which will behave 10 times faster than any
separate piece of hardware, and we won't be talking about separate hardware
as opposed to software or hardware installed in our computers. Further, I
can see that, as we continue to see more and better outboard protocols and
systems, such as USB, and the upcoming Ethernet-like MIDI, that we will
begin thinking of the "computer" as the collection of separate devices of
which we make use. Indeed, someone on the list a few days ago was drooling
while talking about having a future EDP rapidly dumping to HDD a loop, even
pulling from and saving to disk several loops <italics>during</italics> a
performance! Makes me drool too...
For example, I don't consider my "computer" to be just the box with the
motherboard and the CPU, etc. -- it includes my monitor, keyboard, mouse,
speakers, CDWriter, scanner, printer and, through MIDI, I think it now
includes my synthesisers and MIDI sound-processing gear; this whole
collection is my "computer."
As computers continue to include outboard equipment, the line between
"dedicated hardware" and "computers" becomes ever blurrier.
But as you dramatically point out, as it is right now, people do have to
make a choice about which way to go, either stompboxes-like devices, or
computer "plug-in's." I happen to agree with Kim that, for looping, and as
computer hardware stands today, a separate, dedicated looping device such
as
the EDP is best.

My hypothesis on the Devices vs. Computer's for Looping -- it mostly
depends
on where you start evolving to looping from and incrementally adding
looping
capabilities to your set-up.
1) Device Approach

2) Computer Approach

I feel I'm dramatically stating the obvious.

Looping done with Acid and Fruity Loops
(and more and more I realize how insanely limited and annoying Acid is,
but so far there's no competing program that does the same thing).

Hi Dave,
check out cthuga, (sorry I dont have the url, use a search)
It's billed as an oscilloscope on acid - trippy patterns alright!
I think it runs on macs as well as PC's

Incidentally I use a computer live. I consider its flexibility worth the
hassle of carting it around. It has a real time MIDI, (assignable)
interface, 8 ins and outs, loads of separate stereo delay llines and you
can use VST plugins too. Of course it crashes now and then but when it
does it carries on processing so the music doesn't stop, you simply have
to draw to a close. This hasn't happened live though - yet !)

The best sound-to-video program I've seen also happens to be freeware. It
is
called Cthugha, is for both Macs and PCs, and can be downloaded from
http://www.afn.org/~cthugha
Very interesting if you've ever wanted to know what your music "looks"
like.
A good location for all sorts of freeware sound/video progs is
http://www.hyperreal.org/intersection/tools/
So far I have been disappointed by the Mandlebrot set/sound progs out
there.
Worth a try, though.
Best,

I seem to remember a shareware screen saver for the mac that had some nifty
sound-to-vision parameters (although via mac's built in mike only i think)
sorry, cant remember the name of the thing... try shareware.com under mac
screen
saver.. the reason i don't have it anymore was an extremely viscious "send
in
your shareware fee" message every 3 seconds or so (well i would if i could
actually see what was going on...)

After seeing the post about the Cthugha program I downloaded it, but
couldn't get it to work. It showed a succession of still images that you
could sequence by hitting any key, but no response to sound from the CD ROM
drive or an external source. I'm using the sound in and out on my Miro
video card and maybe the program doesn't recognize that. Anybody know how
I
might be able to get Cthugha to work with a Miro video card instead of a
Soundblaster card?
Another issue I've often wondered about is if there's any program that can
modify video being played from an external input into a video card?
Particularly cool would be sound activated color cycling. I've done this
using an Amiga video toaster system in a rather complex configuration.
Anybody know if there's a program around that lets you use sound as a
modulation source for color cycling or otherwise modulating a video signal
being displayed with a video card in a PC?

Check out the freeware Bomb. The freerunning version responds to audio
input in a very primitive way, but it is visually very interesting. You
can program much more complicated responses to MIDI in the MAX version.
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~spot/bomb.html
A much more complicated program similar to MAX but for video is IMAGINE.
http://www.xs4all.nl/~steim/imagine.html
Also you might stay intouch with the progress of UISoftware's MIDIKaleido.
It is under development and no one knows much about it, but they are the
people who developed MetaSynth and Bryce.

Please tell me more! Can you sample and loop back live? Does it have
adequate midi implementation (could I use a midi pedal to sample/tap
tempo/etc, like a super fat echoplex?) I still haven't got my replacement
looping device after selling my Jam-man (something I regret, though I got a
good price for it) and a sampler that can sample and playback in real time
would be very exciting.

That's the biggie... Its interesting to remember that our
(digital) looping devices *are* computers, with specialized
display and input devices.
I use Cool Edit a lot, but not for performance, Jam Man wins big time.
But wouldn't it be great if a program supported MIDI foot pedals?
Maybe some do... do they?
I have found I much prefer a bunch of dedicated applicances over
one general purpose device that needs to be re-configured for
every application. But sometimes the lower cost of a single general
purpose gizmo can be notable. A lot of the cost of building hardware
is the buttons, displays, power supplies, blah blah. Stuff that
seems like it shouldn't 'count'.

Okay, a bit off topic. But sure to interest a lot of folks here.
Listmember and pal Mark Landman pointed me to a great freeware Mac program
called thOnk which outputs nifty granular synthesis soundscapes and/or
naughty bits when you feed its gaping yaw with AIFF's. Choose from about
eight "scores" which produce different results, and thOnk it. Go for lunch
and come back to find ambient coolness on your hard drive:
http://www.audioease.com
And one I found myself which also mangles to the nines in different ways,
though the interface is a real head-scratcher. It's called Arge=EFphontes
Lyre, at:
ftp://shoko.calarts.edu/pub/akira/al.sit.hqx
Also free! And with SoundMaker at $30, I'm beginning to think maybe
computers aren't such a bad way to go, after all....

manipulations and control specific synth/gear midi parameters.) Come to
think of it, you could even loop record and manipulate audio with it, if
you
are that way inclined, in realtime, from any midi source. Some thing I must
look into... I am not sure about control of fx and levels, but I am sure
that it is possible - I just don't know how to automate audio controllers
yet. rec/stop/loop 1/etc should be no problem at all.
Damn! There goes another weekend.

Well, not "everybody" had a shit fit. A couple of people got kind of mean
but that's
about it.
Basically, lots of people feel passionately about what they use. What we
use to make
music is an important part of our musical identities. The folks who still
use tape loops
are proud of it and rightfully so. Tape loops are hard to use compared to
other systems,
and when someone can use their creativity to make great new music with
them, that's
something to bark about. On the other hand, modern computers allow their
users to do
pretty much anything with their sounds, so in a different way, the result
is up to the
imagination.
Personally, right now I'm really proud with what I can do with 2 four
second squashboxes
and a 4-track. When I get around to using a computer, I'm going to have to
approach
things in a different way. I'm going to need to be less spontaneous and
more exacting. Oh
well, let's stop attacking each other over what we use. It's important
that both sides
continue to do their thing.

Yep- just head on over to http://www.dbrown.force9.co.uk/ and you'll find
several there. If you also happen to read any of the UK electronic music
gear mags (Future Music/The Mix/Sound on Sound) the have a monthly music on
the web column and the often list sites with free downloads.

Hello my fellow scientific musicians,
Does anyone know of any Free Plug-Ins download
sites for the Steinberg Cubase VST (or the like...)?
Thanks in advance.

They said they may start phasing out the pedals to concentrate on rack
units.

The mpc2k has now supplanted the Jamman as the most important part of my
live setup. The mpc2k is more or less well-designed and is really steady
time-wise. As a drummer/percussionist I find that I'm getting more
effective results with the mpc2k than with the old Jamman. It has this
really great feature which allows you to mute up to 64 (!) tracks
on/off. Maybe I'll get around to combining them someday - look at all my
machines mom!

Maybe some of you EDP'ers can answer this for me: Can the echoplex do
backward/forwards looping, or is it forward only? That would seem to be a
fairly trivial thing to implement (at least in software, don't know if the
hardware would support it.) and I would probably sell my first child to get
one if it did. ;) What I am looking for specifically, is something w/ the
memory/power of an EDP that does bi-directional looping (forward, backward
& forward/backward).
Thanks,
