Effect Commands – Parts 1 & 2

Friday, March 4th, 2016

The first two videos in the new Effect Commands series are now available to view on Youtube.

The first part takes a quick look at how the tracker interface is arranged into various columns and sub-columns. Part 2 deals with the Volume, Panning and Delay columns, which appear quite simple, but you’re able to do more with them than you first realise.

Riftris

Friday, January 22nd, 2016

I’ve been learning Unreal Engine 4 and to get started I decided to recreate Tetris in the Blueprints system. The game went through several revisions as I kept learning more over time, eventually settling on this version.

If a VR headset is connected, the game’s executable will detect it and automatically use it as the display.

The UE4 project files are available for download, so feel free to grab them, have a look at how it all works, change things and maybe improve upon them. I also made a ‘quick’ 22 minute video guide. Hopefully people like myself who are starting out will find something useful here.

I recently conducted an interview with Canadian artist, I Am Robot And Proud, for the Renoise blog. While it discusses their latest album, the interview also covers topics such as distribution, live performance and how Renoise is used a variety of creative ways with OSC-controlled visuals, MIDI-activated LEDS and a custom iPad controller.

In the Renoise Pattern Editor and the Phrase Editor of both Renoise and Redux, many values use the hexadecimal system. If you’re unfamiliar with this concept, it can be confusing to see letters amongst the numbers. This video will give you an understanding of exactly what’s going on.
