@tr742If you integrate this into your workflow, you can bump up the brightness across the board in Isadora using this Global HSL setup I threw together a few years ago: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/bgvy2jp42mz78y0dkr3mj/h?rlkey=nv9f9k1wrmy394t0kzz37pejj&dl=0

@tr742Hello again! If I understand you correctly, the Control Watcher Actor in combination with the Jump Actor will work well for you in this case. You can allocate individual keys / pads of your MIDI device to trigger different Scenes via the Jump Actor. From the Communications tab of Isadora's Menu bar select Midi Setup and choose your Midi device from the drop down menu. Then from the Windows tab of Isadora's Menu bar select Show Monitor. This will display real-time Midi info including Port, Channel, Controller number and Controller value. You should then be able to then work out the Midi Control number of each key / pad on your device.Hope this helps,Best wishes,Simon

We have posted a new FAQ to help answer any questions you might have.

Ok grazieMi interessa tanto, perché inizio a studiare due esami di programmazione: «metodo matematico della computer grafica» e «programmazione di oggetti grafici», all'università di Roma Tor Vergata, in Scienze e Tecnologie dei Media.Proverei i miei esercizi  in Isadora, in quanto è il mio primo software di programmazione grafica.Spero che tu possa accettare la mia richiesta per ottenere il software del compilatore SDK di Isadora.Grazie per l'attenzione..A prestoAuguriGIAMPIERO  

Good eveningAre there any plans for releasing the SDK for Isadora 3 in the near future or is it released and I did not found it? I am interessted in doing some plugins for the windows version of Isadora.Thanks for the update.Best wishesMarco

@dusx got it: thanks for the answer!

@nono - I hope you can still get this reply after so long.... I tested your NonoBomb plugin on izzy v2.6.1 today and it worked great - i love the idea of managing the mac from within isadora - and I especially love the analogy of the bomb - it's weirdly exciting, and the two-trigger interface is a great idea, aswell as the countdown / abort*. My questions: Could this be redeveloped for Izzy v3? (see @Woland's call for plugins content)Could this have an option to RESTART the mac, rather than just SHUT DOWN? Could a timed POWER ON / WAKE UP be even encoded in this? many thanks! Sam * there needs to be an izzy game with some kind of red wire / blue wire thing going on!

yes you can. its easy and you can do it in a variety of waysstep one is to connect your midi controller and select it in the communications menu / midi setupstep two, add a "note on" watcher to your patch, and hit the button you would like to use. On the right side of the actor you see the values of the incoming midi note as you tap your button, change the values on the left side of the actor to these values and you now have a note on watcher that only listens to this button on your controller.repeat for any other buttons, and use the "control watcher" for sliders and knobs.if you want to use two buttons for on and off, connect them to a "trigger value" actor and trigger 100 to turn on and a 0 to turn off your projectors volume. if you want to use only one button to toggle, use the "sequential trigger".

@Tr742 For sure the classic actors have the potential to cause crashes. But if it works for you, great.If you add two Sound Players and trigger them at the same time to play a total of four channels, I cannot guarantee perfect synchronization. But you can try it and see if it works.Best Wishes,Mark

@administrators dusx sorry been away on tour now trying to resolve issue with your wonderful advice. just need to know your advice re sofware was quick time Im guessing would be quick time pro as the others are playback only.  Have tried to download info says no longer available. Do you have a link for available software that would allo me to add upto 4 tracks of audio save and run with izzy projectorArthurTr742

@jhoepffner said: – I doesn't changed the Hap codec, I suppose its not necessary with 3.0.5  Yes, that is correct. Thank you Jacques for the test and confirmation.

@bonemap Got it working many many thanks May be a bit of and issue with izzy ( having a screen grab running in back ground ) in our live show taking up too much processor space  Still we will tryTa Arthur Tr742 

@michelMany thanks for help Sounds great I’ll programme accordingly TaArthur

Let me understand what you are looking for more clearly.You have 2 scenes. Both with Audio?You want to transition Scene1 --> Scene2 with a visual crossfade time of 1.5 secs ?You do not want an Audio crossfade (as is the default when cross fading 2 scenes).Do you have an audio track that plays constant, while images are changing?What is the effect you are trying to produce?I suspect you have 2 options. 1: Create one scene that crossfades between your media at the audio progresses. (this requires a little more patching in Isadora)2: Run a Background scene to play your Audio separately from your visual content, and use the last Visual scene to deactivate your Audio background scene.

@dillthekrautMany thanks saves me a bunch of CPU Me thinksArthur

@tr742You can, but you have to do it manually. There's not an automatic function to handle this. Generally it's advised to save the Patch and the related media all in the same place to allow for easy backups.Best wishes,Woland

@tr742That's very strange. I'm not sure why the Classic Projector/Player actors would ever outperform the GPU-based versions...

@skulpture said:  I would like to have this stay ticked (green) by default. Mine always starts a project as Red, not ticked. is this possible?  Yes, me too... I may have even made that a feature request. It's one of those things that one wants to be able to set as an Isadora preference.

as Michel says, the greyed out number means the media is no longer linked. What size are the images? I have seen issue arise from huge still images being loaded. Also, is any of your media on external drives? It's possible the connection isn't great, a brief disconnect could leave the link broken.
