DJ-Style Visual Performance
Just like taking two musical tracks and fading them back and forth,
scratching or adding effects, the idea is the same with motion dive.
Use the smooth A/B Fader to alternate between channel A and B,
scratch the clips rhythmically with the Scratch controls, and use
the front-panel knobs to control color-EQ effects and BPM. Select
video clips quickly by dragging and dropping them into the A and B
output channels, or by using the large dial and Channel buttons on
the controller.
Audio & Visual Collaboration
With motion dive, the visuals can played and remixed in real time
along with the music. The performances can be recorded and played
back as one piece of artwork. Motion dive receives MIDI messages,
therefore MIDI-compatible instruments can be connected to the
controller unit for live video triggering.
Physical Control
The MD-P1 is a dedicated physical controller designed for the
"motion dive .tokyo performance package." Connection to a computer
is taken care of by a single USB cable. Power is supplied via USB to
make set up simple, eliminating the need for an external power
supply. The operation panel has dedicated buttons and controllers
that allow you to smoothly assign clips and freely mix channels A
and B. Expression that requires continuous, minute changes that are
difficult to control using a mouse are handled easily and
intuitively by turning knobs. Enjoy direct and spontaneous control,
similar to that of a DJ mixer.
Images from MIDI
Images can be automatically generated from note and velocity
information input via external MIDI device, such as Roland's
V-Drums, synthesizers, and sequencers. Create performances that
synchronize music with images for stunning visual effects.
Wide-Ranging File Support
Motion dive accepts QuickTime movies and most picture formats from
digital cameras, as well as AVI and MPEG files, and Macromedia Flash
content. To get started right away, motion dive comes with a video
library created by top professional VJ artists. Motion dive is
compatible with Mac (OSX) and PC (XP/2000).
