DJ-Style Visual Performance
Just like taking two musical
tracks and fading them back and forth, scratching or adding effects,
the idea is the same with motion dive. Use the smooth A/B Fader to
alternate between channel A and B, scratch the clips rhythmically with
the Scratch controls, and use the front-panel knobs to control color-EQ
effects and BPM. Select video clips quickly by dragging and dropping
them into the A and B output channels, or by using the large dial and
Channel buttons on the controller.
Audio & Visual Collaboration
With
motion dive, the visuals can played and remixed in real time along with
the music. The performances can be recorded and played back as one
piece of artwork. Motion dive receives MIDI messages, therefore
MIDI-compatible instruments can be connected to the controller unit for
live video triggering.
Physical Control
The MD-P1 is a
dedicated physical controller designed for the “motion dive .tokyo
performance package.” Connection to a computer is taken care of by a
single USB cable. Power is supplied via USB to make set up simple,
eliminating the need for an external power supply. The operation panel
has dedicated buttons and controllers that allow you to smoothly assign
clips and freely mix channels A and B. Expression that requires
continuous, minute changes that are difficult to control using a mouse
are handled easily and intuitively by turning knobs. Enjoy direct and
spontaneous control, similar to that of a DJ mixer.
Images from MIDI
Images
can be automatically generated from note and velocity information input
via external MIDI device, such as Roland’s V-Drums, synthesizers, and
sequencers. Create performances that synchronize music with images for
stunning visual effects.
Wide-Ranging File Support
Motion
dive accepts QuickTime movies and most picture formats from digital
cameras, as well as AVI and MPEG files, and Macromedia Flash content.
To get started right away, motion dive comes with a video library
created by top professional VJ artists. Motion dive is compatible with
Mac (OSX) and PC (XP/2000).
