IVAR (Dubstep Edition)

English version below

Mein kleines VisualMusic – Tool „IVAR“ hat die Betatestphase verlassen. IVAR ( = Infinite Visual Audio Remixer)  läuft unter MacOSX ( ab 10.9) und remixt ihm anvertraute Audiofiles theoretisch bis in alle Ewigkeiten. Oder zumindest so lange, bis er die vom Benutzer eingegebene neu Tracklänge erreicht hat um dann dezent auszufaden. Die spartanische GUI hat für den Nutzer ausser der Eingabe der neuen Remixtracklänge und des Startbuttons noch die Audiolautstärkesteuerung zu bieten. Somit eignet es sich als ein hervorragendes Softewaretool für AV – Installationen.

Einen kurzen Eindruck in die Audio – und Videokreationen des IVAR:

 

English Version

IVAR – Infinite Visual Audio Remixer

The IVAR is an audio – visual software machine producing visual music.

It remixes a given audiofile in an audio as well as in a visual way.

The resulting remix length depends on the users choice.

The IVAR ensemble: GUI and Visual Output window

By importing an audiofile to the IVAR, the machine analyzes the file and slices its beats depending on the soundfiles‘ tempo.

After the determination of the whole new tracklength by the user and hitting the playbutton, the IVAR will play back the new arrangement as a remix immediately based on its own random decisions in realtime.

The visual section of the IVAR will be triggered by the incoming amplitude of the newly arranged beatslices.

The visual part consists basically of the beat – triggered manipulation of geometrical shapes.

Those manipulations result from constantly changing mathematical operations, which combine every plane of different OpenGL shapes with the incoming signal data.

The signal data is a stream of matrices and depends directly on the amplitude of the new created audio – remix.

The IVAR is a perfect tool for long term audiovisual installations.

It is simply based on a minimal input (one audiofile (wav/aif)) and an easy to use GUI.

IVAR GUI: Startbutton, Tracklength Input, Counter, Volumefader and Audio on/off Symbol

The GUI consists of the tracklength input (minutes) and the start – button as the important features.

Besides you will find a counter visualising the minutes and seconds which were passed since startig the „playbutoton“ and also a fader for regulating the output volume as well as a speaker symbol showing the actual Audio – Status.

The IVAR is available as an application for MacOSX 10.9 and newer.
