Hi
I m looking for a TD Patch ready to use to control dmx
Something with transitions, wait, presets /memories
Is there something already made?
Thx
You’re basically asking for a lighting console. TD actually isn’t really best suited for “state machine” style sequencing like you describe, and when you start wandering down that path, the Python gets pretty heavy.
Some people have built relatively advanced “state machine” kinda systems like Keith Lostracco’s Luminosity or the classics like Rogue, TouchMixerII, CueDesigner, etc…
Lucas Morgan even built GeoPix which is kinda related to what you are asking about, but even he didn’t really get into presets / memories / sequencing.
I have been considering building something sort of approaching what you are suggesting for my own production usage… How much would you be willing to pay for a TD toe file that did DMX Patch, Cues, Point Cues, Sequencing (wait / in-fade / out-fade / delay), Cue Parts, and maybe even referenceable presets?

Hi @peet and thanks for your fb
I ll dig in the work already made
But I ve already built something pretty effficient in Isadora with matrix value that allows to interpolate between set numbers, so to say presets. I won’t go in chase area I think…
I m curious to find a way to store values in table and make transition between them ( even for other parameters management ) adjusting fade time and “wait” function. How would you interpolate between values in TD?
Unfortunately I m not willing to pay since my ask is mainely to help students in stage art ( in Brazil and France) and I want to provide them freeware solution than combine light and video.
I also think that a common open solution could lead to create fixtures library but that s another level of it…
Hello,
Its alway difficult to re-invent wheel.
After prototyping some light consoles, i prefer now to use software like d::light, where all is ready to play and very easy to link via OSC on the same computer or separate ones.

Thanks dear master, I agree but I think I need to try it myself to understand touchdesigner more deeply… learn about wheel axis, resistance, chock absorption, flat tires;-)
Any idea for most effective interpolation between numbers?
Regards
Try the “Cross CHOP”.

I agree, cross chop but if you want a less linear interpolation, patern + lookup chop can help.

I guess the wheel has already made for the car…
