Mark, If your scheme chops are up for it, you should have a look at impromptu. Even though it's purpose made for live coding, there's nothing that prevents someone from coding in advance and loading the program at the gig... It allows you to mess directly with opengl objects and create some pretty colours and shapes that change with the beat. You could send the audio reference from Live to a certain channel on your audio device and have Impromtu read the data from that channel. A steeper learning curve, but there are some musical payoffs as well (Impromptu can send/receive MIDI or OSC and host AU). the software: http://impromptu.moso.com.au/ some graphics tutorials: http://homepage.mac.com/digego/video_tutorial_one.mov http://vimeo.com/4192785 demos http://vimeo.com/2735394 http://vimeo.com/2502546 http://vimeo.com/2433303 Sylvain On Sun, Sep 11, 2011 at 7:52 AM, mark francombe <mark@markfrancombe.com> wrote: > Quite often it occurs on LD that there is a post about creating live > visuals > to our music.
