pd vj

For our final in pure data I wanted to give PD GEM a shot. I wanted to try to link up sounds with visu­als. Or at least have the sounds affect the visu­als. Unfor­tu­nately my attempts failed. In a way I made a visu­al­izer but that held no mean­ing for me. My first Patch was a series of squares that would increase in size as the sound got louder. I then wanted to try to con­nect the squares to some video but when I applied a cur­sor and rotate object I could not seem to unlink the rota­tion fac­tor that was applied to the squares despite the fact that I only wanted this to affect the video. The last sketch links the mouse loca­tion to the video rota­tion. It also links the vol­ume to the mix­ing of the two videos. Unfor­tu­nately the size of the video file can not be uploaded so I am only attach­ing the patches with­out files. Below is a sam­ple video of some of the test. One of the lim­i­ta­tions I think of the fix film option is that you can not add more than two videos???   Any­ways I am hop­ing to con­tinue to explore PD within the realm of visu­al­iza­tion and how that might be affected by music or vice versa.
