@nielshulgard3722 8 ай бұрын

I've been thinking about gifting myself one of these for quite some time, and really appreciated hearing your thoughts on it. Especially hearing that it is a good, self-contained, and capable package for trying out video synthesis focused on live performance, which is what I want. So yeah, thanks a lot! Also watching your closet organ tour series after hearing you on the almost viral podcast, and what a treat that is! Would also be interested to see how you've set up the korg nanokontrol as a midi controller for video.

@StephenMcLeod 8 ай бұрын

Hey! Thanks for watching (arguably far too much of me). The NanoKontrol I've been using as a controller for the Andrei Jay Waaave Pool, which also runs on a Pi, but... it would also work great for Hypno. You could map the different controls to various parameters and have a really compact solution.

@@StephenMcLeodSince you mention it, I’d love to see a demo of the Waaaave Pool. After I got Hypno (so brilliant!) I tried to set up Waaabe Pool with my NanoKontrol, and it’s a little wonky. Would love to see a working system do its thing. Assuming you take requests. 😄

@@StephenMcLeod Ahh… so I’m not the only one. 😁 I was going to bust out Hypno over the holidays to hook it up to other things - thus far I’ve just been molding with it as-is, but your demo of the interoperability of gear is inspiring me to greater ambitions. I found an early Ableton Launchpad at a thrift shop for $5. I really should work out how to make them talk, right?

Question here. How does it integrate with video in and outputs? Are there ways to for example send this trough a roland edirol v4 or to have this playback already made video footage what isn't high resolution?

@StephenMcLeod 4 ай бұрын

You can load videos into it via USB and manipulate them that way... or you can stream video from an external source. Depending on the model of Pi, you will either have a dedicated analog output, or you can use a breakout cable. I personally just run the HDMI out and use a converter box for that. :)

really sad they removed the analog video jack

@StephenMcLeod 8 ай бұрын

It's a shame that it was taken off of the Raspberry Pi for sure. You can still get an analog output from some of the models if you use some kind of adapter though. I think TRRS from the headphone jack? They are all wired slightly differently though, so finding the right one is the tricky bit.

@totallypixelated 8 ай бұрын

The analogue video output from the 3.5mm jack can be enabled with an edit to config.txt in the boot partition on a Pi Model B. You need a TRRS cable as Stephen says.
