My Setup for audioreactive and interactive Live Shows. Paul Bießmann 2019

Still called ClusterDuo, since I started there to build one Framework for all shows.

Getting Started

Made with Mac OSX High Sierra 10.13.6 Xcode 10.1 openFrameworks v0.9.8_osx_release get it here

Xcode Build Settings

Change Build Settings: Since Xcode 10 with High Sierra when first building a solution, go in Xcode to your Project -> Build Settings -> OF_CORE_FRAMEWORKS -> Remove "-framework Quicktime"

Addons

ofxDOF ofxFFT ofxGpuParticles ofxGui should already be in Addons folder ofxMidi ofxVoro

Controlling

MIDI

I used a NanoKontrol 2 for all my controls. MIDI adresses are now mapped to this. But maybe one with motor faders would be better.

Change the MIDI-input device in ofApp.cpp

midiIn.listPorts();
midiIn.openPort(YOURNUMBER);

Default it's 1, but let it list your devices and see.

Sound

Get an external Soundcard and set your desired device. (Usually it get's automatically the current soundstream, if you comment out the setDeviceID()).

soundStream.printDeviceList();
soundStream.setDeviceID(2);

Build your setup

1. Have a look in the ofKeyreleased() function. For drawing a scene, do on a 'Key': `` case'1': bDrawANYTHING = true; closeFunction(); setupANYTHING(); break;

2. In update()

if(bDrawANYTHING) { updateANYTHING(); }

3. in draw()

if(bDrawANYTHING) { drawANYTHING(); }

All switches to the scenes

Keep updated!

Known Issues

03-August 2019

ofxFFT does sometimes not read in the soundstream of the Interface (RME Babyface Pro) ofSetBackgroundAuto() does not work in some functions (drawBoxes and drawCircles). Sometimes works, but unstable. maybe the drawing/update routine is too big? Sometimes bDrawANYTHING gets not changed correctly. Think of another strategy to make scenes.
