timecode vinyl-video enhanced-prototype 2

June 27th, 2009

This video shows the latest version of a project Jonas Bohatsch like to call “disko” or “v+” or my beautiful darling, etc…
The data(rotation speed, needle position) he get out of a white timecode vinyl is not only used to control sound but also animations which are projected directly onto the vinyl itself.
In this short demo he defines objects which trigger samples and change their appearance when “hit” by the needle.
The timecode’s speed data controls rotation, colors and sample pitch.
By reading out the timecode’s needle position the computer can tell “exactly” when a virtual object is being hit by the turntables needle.

please note that there is no camera tracking involved!

ingredients:
turntable
white timecode vinyl
audio interface
computer
xwax pd external (thanks to jan hackl(ayim/broken rules))
