WOW!
What a day!
Last night I transcribed my ADAT taped laser show to waves on my hard drive.
Today rMud joined us here at PL...
AND
Now I got neat looking art flying all over my screen in LaserBoy from my ADAT recordings!
I still need to tweak it up. I have to get the colors adjusted for maximum gain and I need to realign the color samples with the position samples, but I know how to do all that!
It's just a matter of coming up with the right magic.
It's also neat to look at LaserBoy generated waves right up next to waves from the ADAT tape (mixedgas' slightly fried ISA QM-32 recorded from the analog inputs of my modified ADAT)
Since LaserBoy waves are created entirely in the digital domain, they are fully normalized and can be reversed back into vector data, accurate down to the bit. But they are also much more saturated. There is a lot more energy making it to the screen per second than there is in the QM-32 waves.
So now, from the same Echo Layla 24/96, I can play LaserBoy waves. I can pass ADAT LightPipe from the ADAT machine through the Layla or I can play ADAT waves already recorded onto my hard drive!
Soon I will be able to get all of the 2D vector data in true color and perfect time alignment from the ADAT waves and revamp that data into fresh LaserBoy waves!
