After a simple introduction to controlling your VJX via PureData, Vince has shared with us a slightly more complicated patch, this one is for sequencing the 3 video outputs.

This patch initializes the VJX, and then allows you to sequence which of the four tracks is shown on which output, save and load presets, and change the switching speed via BPM. I don’t have 3 similarly sized monitors to show this off, so Vince was nice enough to shoot us a demo video from Vixid Headquarters:

Triple Output Sequencing - Vixid and PD from Create Digital Media on Vimeo.

It may look like a simple fruit machine, but this displays how fast and flexible the VJX’s routing controls can be.

As before, Vixid have kindly supplied the patch for others to use and modify to their own needs.

If you haven’t used PureData before and are feeling nervous, you really should check it out. It’s free, cross-platform, and really will help you get closer to your Vixid. We’ll be releasing more PD patches over time, perhaps eventually combining them into a super-patch which rolls all of this awesomeness into a single Vixid uber-interface!
