Squiggle in Beyond

[absolom7691]

I finally got around to playing with the audio triggered functions in Beyond. The video is horrible quality since it was shot on a whim and I didn't feel like setting up for video. Midway through, I started playing with the wave forms a bit. Every time I pick up Beyond, I learn something new and it opens up another rabbit hole and makes me realize how much I don't know about the software. Hopefully YouTube doesn't block it because of the music.

Here's another one. A bit better music to demonstrate. In this world of graphics and near perfect abstracts, a bit of random is nice.

So you found the FFT stuff... what did you apply it to? Xpos/Ypos?

Love the Windowlicker

Yup, one of my faves too.

I really like whats happening in the second video. Great stuff!

That was my original thought, so I tried doing that in PangoScript but I don't think I know enough there to make this work. I'll be trying again though. Here was my first attempt:

CodeName "Random"

Autostart
StopOnBlackout

start:

WaitForAudioBeat 1

PositionX randomin (-50, 50)
PositionY randomin (-50, 50)

goto start 

When that didn't yield the results I wanted, I went straight to the LD2000 abstract generator and applied FFT to quite a few of the fields there:




The only thing I need to work on is that I want the color to change on the beat. Right now, the color changes at 0.5hz when triggered by FFT.

Thanks! Unfortunately, Beyond did all the work!
