Christmas Update

Hey all!

I hope you are doing well. 

Firstly, a quick update: I'm definitely doing a lot better, still very low on energy but I will be back to work in January and share some new content with you :) I will also try to update algorhythm till the end of February.

Mainly, I'd like to say: thank you!!! You're an absolutely amazing community and I am deeply grateful for all your support, especially through tough times like the last months. 

I wish...

December Update

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing well! I'd like to give you another update about this month.

Unfortunately, I am still sick (Long Covid) and I don't think I'll be able to record videos this month either. Any work I do (especially in front of the PC) costs me a lot of energy and I really want to fully recover until January. These last weeks I've been living more like an 80 year old instead of a 27 year old man, just reading, drinking tea and sleeping a lot.&nb...

[ Extra File ] Color Picker 3000

Hey all,

despite my low energy I've been working on this fun little .tox you can use to select, combine and save colors and color palettes. This is a rather quick and dirty project (especially the presets), so I'm curious how it works for you and what you'd like to have improved or changed. 

Outputs TOP pixels or a circular ramp, as well as CHOP and DAT data. You can also copy the values from as parameters from the COMP. Mainly to be used in combination with a Lookup TOP I su...

Update

Hey all!

Hope you're doing well. I wanted to give you a quick update about my current situation.

Apparently I've got Long Covid. I've had it on and off all this year but right now it's really quite bad and I can barely work (or do anyhting else really). I'm trying to do as much as I can but I have little to no energy for anything, I cannot sit at the PC for a long time, constantly need to sleep etc. etc.

So I'm sorry if I cannot share as much content as I'd like to. If I won...

[ Extra File ] Audio Analysis (New)

Hey all!

Here's the audio analysis part of algorhythm packed into a flexible .tox file you can use in any project. Takes 1ms CPU so it's pretty efficient :)

Unfortunately with the UI kit I built, binding is not yet possible. So there's no custom pars, just the UI. 

You can grab these output channels:

1) Detection Chans (Kick, Snare, Hats, Level)
2) Raw Audio
3) Spectrum

Enjoy! And thanks for your suppo...

October Updates

Hey all!

Hope you're all well.
I'd like to find a date for the next Patreon meetup again! This one could serve, amongst any other questions etc., as a feedback session for algorhythm. So please, let me know what dates & times work best for you (as always in CEST).

Also, the next TouchDesigner meetup will be on October 9, 5pm CEST. The topic for this one will be "Lasers"!

algorhythm Walkthrough / Tutorial

This video serves as an overview, walkthrough and tutorial for the realtime audiovisual software algorhythm.  algorhythm is a tool I've been working on for the last months and years, built and running entirely in TouchDesigner, which allows the user to playback generative visuals and media, manipulate them with audio and other inputs, fade between visuals and add a number of different post effects.

Infinite Repetitions

In this video, we're using a Cache TOP inside a feedback loop to repeat motion and movement infinitely. In this video I show 3 different main examples.

algorhythm 0.31x

Hey all!

It's finally here – the new algorhythm version. You can download the .zip here:

3.17 (March, 2023)
Important Note: For .tox files to load, you might have to select a different Folder (instead of Toxes) and then reselect Toxes, if you wish to use that one. You can use any Folder though.

[ Exclusive ] Limit Displacement

In this tutorial we're using a combination of the Limit, Composite and Displace TOP to chop up and distort input textures. This also works well with videos!

August/September Update!

Hey all!

Hope you're doing well. There's a few things I wanted to share with you. 

First off, sorry for postponing the last meetup, I broke up with my girlfriend that day and didn't feel like hosting a meetup 🙃 I'm much better now but my last weeks have been very strange and intense. Anyways, let's find a new date now! Please vote below as usual, times are CEST.

Secondly, this month there's no TD meetup, it'll be on September...
