Been VJ-ing since the mid-90’s, initially using an MX-50 video mixer, with a bunch of VCR’s, TV’s, boxes of cables and a few suitcases of VHS tapes.

Have been using Isadora (from Troikatronix) for about 10 years, along with a 64 knob Drehbank Doepfer midi controller. I setup various clocks, waveforms, counters and frequency analysis as triggers in Isadora, and use the midi-controller to adjust these and mix my visuals to the audio. I like fast cutting between videos using a square wave, adjusting the frequency and pitch in realtime. Also like using frequency analysis triggers to jump the video playhead forward/back. Here’s some mix samples

For ages i’ve been thinking about incorporating modular synths and have just found VCV Rack, which i’ve downloaded and started playing with. Am excited to learn a whole lot more and feed Isadora via midi or OSC.

Kia Ora, Mr J
