REAKTOR + OSC + VVVV

This is the first attempt to create a stable system for a/v triggering in live performance.
I choose Reaktor as the audio engine because of the many possibilities that gives to sample processing.

In the video part i choose VVVV, altough is not the best option for this pupose because it has some problems in video switching fast. (i need a Mac).
a good option will be VDMX but i didnt experienced it.
to connect them to make the hard work, i finally decided for OSC to data transmission, first i try a lot with midi, i was thinking it was the way really, and you can do the most of the stuff with midi, but i lacks in a really important thing:
Resolution.
Yes, 0 to 127 its not good way to seek 20 seconds of video.
So, i used OSC because its really awesome how transmit the data,and the resolution is much more big than midi .
In the next posts i will explain the Audio and Video patches and how i use Reaktor to send data to VVVV.
Here goes some screenshots of the Reaktor patch.







And here some of the VVVV patch
