Date & Time: Saturday 17th April 5pm – 7pm UK / 6pm – 8pm Berlin

Level: Open to all levels

Join the online meetup for expert talks on audio visualisation. Meet and be inspired by the TouchDesigner community.

The meetup runs via Zoom. The main session features short presentations from TouchDesigner users. Breakout rooms are created on the spot on specific topics, and you can request a new topic at any time.

The theme for this session is Audio visualisation, hosted by Bileam Tschepe with presentations from the community.

In the breakout rooms, you can share your screen to show other participants something you’re working on, ask for help, or help someone else.

Presenters:

Name: Ian MacLachlan
Title: Terraforming with MIDI
Bio: Bjarne Jensen is an experimental audio/visual artist from the Detroit area with an interest in creating interactive systems for spatial transformation.
Name: Jean-François Renaud
Title: Generating MIDI messages to synchronize sound and visual effect in TouchDesigner
Description : Instead of using the audio analysis strategy to affect the rendering, we are focusing on building small generative machines using the basic properties of notes (pitch, velocity), and we look at different means to manage triggering. At the end, the goal is still to merge and to make alive what you hear and what you see.
Bio: Interactive media professor at École des médias, UQAM, Montréal

Creating dynamic drum patterns in Ableton Live – On demand

Level: Beginner

Programmed rhythms can lack the expression of real players. This is particularly evident when sequencing drums. In this workshop you will learn to program a variety of drum patterns, utilising a range of expressive techniques in Ableton Live. This workshop aims to provide you with transferable skills to enable you to breathe life into your MIDI programming.

Session Learning Outcomes

By the end of this session a successful student will be able to:

  • Program at least one drum pattern with variations;

  • Understand groove and learn how to implement it;

  • Use MIDI devices (such as random and velocity and MaxforLive) to humanise parts;

  • Utilise the Convert to MIDI function to analyse existing patterns and provide inspiration.

Session Study Topics

  • Drum sequencing in session view

  • Applying groove and swing

  • MIDI effects, LFO device

  • Converting audio to MIDI

Requirements

  • A computer and internet connection

  • A web cam and mic

  • A Zoom account

  • Ableton Live 11 Suite – if not, participants should be advised to download the trial version
