AV help

[barry tone]

hi there,

been using Ableton for audio for a while but never ventured into the world of realtime visuals and wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction.

what i want to do is trigger some simple visuals from ableton. imagine a 4x4 grid, each square assigned to a midi note trigerable from clips in session view. by default the squares are black. when triggered they flash white, or any shade of grey in between depending on velocity/decay etc.

i'd also like to be able to export the visuals as an image sequence.

I guess i'm imagining some kind of VST plugin that does visuals ... any ideas?

thanks alot,

BT.

This should be possible with a bit of knowlege in M4L and Jitter, sounds interesting.

nice! thanks guys. i'd seen the Vizzable stuff and thought that might be along the right lines.

i have no knowledge of either Max or Jitter, but sounds like its time to acquire some.

will get stuck in.
