Topic: RANDOM SHADE FOR EACH TRACK

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Virtual DJ 2018.

When playing audio and the shade loads, is it possible to have a different random shade for each loaded track but unlike the current behavior the loaded shade to remain the same for the entire duration of the track?

I am not very keen on the current random settings where the shades are changing every few seconds.

I would like to have each shade go for the entire duration of the song.

Thanks.

or a set of things you can do in the settings , ie , link to song or play songs or link shade to sampler .. the future is looking unreal with this effect. a tumb nail beside each shader would also be slick so i know what s what
 
Shaders on the sample pads!

Now ya Talkin, excellent idea
 
I can see a few new verbs needed here.

shader_select (relative, name)
shader_beats (change number including zero, entire song, counter reset)
shader_move ( beat move bool, second param sensitivity if that can by done)

I need to look at how shaders are compiled there could be a lot of scope for live code manipulation...
Could be..

Any more ideas?
 
Since the shader feature was added, I've been wondering exactly how some coders add the 'audio active' side of things, as some shaders don't respond to audio & some do.

It would be nice to add in to the non responsive shaders - but then I guess that would have to be done on the shadertoys site, before feeding the URL to VDJ.

Grouping Random Shaders will be a bonus,

I would like to have e.g shaders with tunnels in one group and shaders with graphic equalizer in another group of changing randomly. Then I can choose for my specific gig to apply to a specific group.
 
If they added this back to the effects buttons with a parameter knob that allows you to go between each one would be nice
 
Even if you could just set the time between each shade change to something like 3 or 4 minutes
 
Anything happening on this yet.....for a future update maybe?
 
Count me in on this!
