feedback is totally awesome

The FeedbackTOP can do some really bizarre things. It totally transformed my Order project.

That is BEAutiful! I agree, the feedback chop can definitely turn projects up to 11.

What kind of logic is behind those dots connecting in different ways?

3

The connections between the dots are made by a C++ CHOP that Vincent Houze initially created, which I then extended and partially rewrote (github.com/t3kt/DistThresholdCHOP). It takes in a set of coordinates, and then finds matching pairs of points which fall within a specified range of distance from each other, and outputs those pairs along with information about how close they are together. So with that, you can have several pieces of geometry with points that periodically overlap, and have the DistThresholdCHOP draw connections between them, with their opacity based on their distance (so closer pairs are brighter).

The project as a whole is available here: [vimeo.com/album/2736128](http://vimeo.com/album/2736128).

also, there some stuff at t3kt.net/projects/order,

That is some very helpful shameless self promotion! Thanks for posting all the info :smiley: I have some learning to do tomorrow!

Awesome stuff!

Like all projects on your website… Trying to run your order project, but unfortunately i get some errors about an invalid path “audiostate/audioon”…

Maybe it is a part of the bcr2000 Midi controller? Would be verry happy to get this run, cause the videos looks fantastic!

There are definitely a few stability issues. Ultimately I’m going to remove the audio analysis stuff since it causes problems and I don’t really use it.
For now, to get around that:

  • re-enable cooking on /_/audio
  • click the “audio” link on the top of the control panel
  • switch off the input and output buttons
  • close the panel
  • disable cooking on /_/ui and then re-enable it to clear the error
    After that, you have to deal with the fact that it currently sets all the parameters to 0 when it loads (I’m working on that, but I haven’t fixed it yet). So you’ll need to set the opacity (under “web”) to something non-zero, and the thresh range (also under “web”) to a span that’s not just 0 (move the two parts of the slider until you see an orange bar).

thx for the help, got it run… now its time to play and learn…

you never realize quite how strange and problematic software is until you try to explain how to use it to someone else…
