Topic: Developing visual plugins and access to song wave data

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi all! I would like to create a visual plugin that would be a different rythm window, so it would need access to the song wave data and a canvas to draw something. It doesn't sound like this is posible with the current interfaces isn't it?

As an extension it would also be nice to get some imput from keyboard or midi and do some seek operations to the decks.

Thank you!

You have access to OpenGL or DirectX to draw on depending if you are using OS X or Windows.

You can also access song data, although from a video plugin this is limited. No reason you couldn't analyse it yourself to obtain the wave data though.

You can use VDJScript to make skin/keyboard/MIDI presses available to your plugin, and you can send VDJScript commands to seek on the decks.

Regards,

Scott
