click Start button to display images triggered by incoming midi notes
- images will display in real time with midi notes received by app
- click on Full Screen to have image player fill screen to display in sync with music during live performance
Mod By / Mod By # Images
- "Mod By" specifies what the incoming midi note will be modded by (remainder after division)
- for example incoming midi note of 67 with "Mod By" set at 64 will trigger image 3 in images array 67 % 64 = 3
- "Mod By" is by default set to the # of images that the user uploaded
- to specify custom "Mod By" value, uncheck "Mod By # Images" checkbox
- and input new value for "Mod By"
- this value can be used to experiment with to produce patterns with varying range constrained by the "Mod By" value
Transpose MIDI Notes
- parameter for user to specify the # of midi notes that each incoming midi note will be transposed up or down by
- "Transpose MIDI Notes" is by default 0 (midi notes received will be unchanged)
- can be used to move an incoming midi note pattern to cover different areas of the uploaded images
- can be used in conjunction with "Mod By". "Mod By" to narrow the window of images being triggered, "Transpose MIDI Notes" to move the window through the image array
Reorder Images
- "Reorder Images" provides the ability to rearrange the uploaded images' positions' in the images array
- for instance if you are sending midi note 48 to trigger image 48 but want a different image at index 48 to trigger, can rearrange the array on this page
- Select Randomize if you want to randomize the order of your images
- click the image that you are wanting to move
- then click the image of where you would like to insert the 1st image that you clicked
return to Home Page
and choose to Start image sequence again
