Visual Music Performance with Machine Learning - On demand

Membership plan: Going Deeper | Topics: Game Audio and Immersive Technologies

What you'll learn

  • Create generative visual art in openFrameworks
  • Create procedural audio in openFrameworks using ofxMaxim
  • Discuss interactive machine learning techniques
  • Use a neural network to control audiovisual parameters simultaneously in real-time

Who is this course for?

  • In this workshop you will use openFrameworks to build a real-time audiovisual instrument. You will generate dynamic abstract visuals within openFrameworks and procedural audio using the ofxMaxim addon. You will then learn how to control the audiovisual material by mapping controller input to audio and visual parameters using the ofxRapid Lib add on.
