Do I need to know vvvv to join this meetup?

Video Sampling Companion for Jacque’s Virtual Inspiration Environment

Created by Dominik Jancik (domj) for Jacque’s Virtual Inspiration Environment, the video sampling companion enables effortless addition of live video to an already complex and bespoke music production setup.

The vvvv gamma companion integrates seamlessly with Max 4 Live devices via OSC and Ableton Link and Resolute Arena via Spout. It handles video sampling, playback and storage in realtime in complete sync with Jacque’s actions on the music production side.

Advanced features such as pre-roll (playing video before the actual audio sample), timestamp based playback or smart output ordering are also included, just like Stride and ImGui based interfaces for monitoring and configuration.

The project took months of close collaboration, iteration and debugging with Jacques and the rest of the creative and technical team consisting of Pierre-Antoine Grison, Yann Navarra and Gregori Erman. It is now ready for the limelight with shows starting on the 11.1.

VL.NodeGen

A random idea from a recent jam made into a real nuget – Automatic AI node creation within vvvv gamma, using OpenAI ChatGPT.

Effortlessly prompt and generate nodes for your creative projects. Novel animation functions, shapes, complex math conversions now at your fingertips in seconds. https://github.com/domjancik/VL.NodeGen
