[Release] Versatile VJ System with 5-Layer Control & Custom UI

Overview:

I've developed a custom VJ system in TouchDesigner designed for real-time generative visuals and live performances. It features a modular 5-layer structure and a dedicated control UI.

Key Features:

• 5-Layer Mixing: Top layers for overlays/text, bottom layers for background visuals.

• Custom UI: Includes Preview, Multi-layer controls, Effector, Post-Effects, and Text input.

• MIDI Ready: Pre-mapped for AKAI APC mini mk2 (but also supports mouse control).

• Audio Reactive: Supports Sound2Light (OSC) for BPM and frequency analysis.
   

How to Start:

1. Launch the .toe file.

2. Press Ctrl + , to open the Control UI.

3. Press Ctrl + . to start the video output.
    

Recommended Tools

For the best experience, I recommend using the following (though the system works with mouse control alone):

• Audio Analysis: Sound2Light (S2L)

  • Used for OSC-based audio reactivity, BPM, and frequency analysis.

  • Set OSC to 127.0.0.1 / Port 8001.

• Hardware: AKAI APC mini mk2

  • UI is pre-mapped for 8x8 pads and faders.

  • Controls layer toggles, transparency, and effects.
