    Hi Tom,

    this rocks! I’m using for a performance and seems to work perfectly. I have just one problem. If i drive the offset position, sending several values via midi from a value to another, this interfere in some way with automatic looping. Video doesn’t play smoothly as offset position values changes, but they are also affected by internal playback wheel. The solution would be, i think, to give a “no-playback” option in “loop mode”. This would make the playback be affected just by sent offset values, and not by intenal wheel.
    Do you think this could be possible?
    ciao, thanks

    michele

    If you want to stop playback, set the patch’s timebase to external and attach a counter which is paused during playback but not recording – then you can scrub through using the offset on “paused” frames.

    Fantastic work, Tom!

    One issue – it seems to disrupt the sorting of a structure patch. For example, if I input a structure created with Kineme Structure maker, with 8 inputs indexed 0-7, they come out in this order: 0,5,1,6,2,7,3,4. Any ideas on that?

    Momo the Monster – thanks for the heads up – I’ve put up 2.1 with a fix for that

    It looks like 2.1 introduces a bug on snow leopard where the video output gets turned 180° while sampling.
    Is it possible to put older versions online?
    I remember 2.0 not having this bug.

    Hi – for what it’s worth, 2.0 is here – but it’s unlikely to fix the problem. Could you e-mail me and we can try to identify it?

    Thanx!
    Just, checked it.
    The bug indeed isn’t present in 2.0
    I’ll mail you with more details.
