Eurorack & Live Coding Guest Tutorial with Sarah GHP! — VDMX - MAC VJ SOFTWARE
**Summary of Sarah GHP's Guest Tutorial on Connecting VJ App Output to an Analog Synth**
- **Purpose**: Sarah GHP shares her setup for combining digital and analog video processing in real-time, using VDMX as a keystone.
- **Computer & Software**:
- Uses Apple M1 or M2 Macbook.
- Live codes SVGs using La Habra (Clojurescript + Electron framework).
- Utilizes Signal Culture's applications like Framebuffer and Interstream.
- VDMX is the primary software for effects, routing, and recording.
- **Video Signal Transformation**:
- Converts HDMI to SDI and SDI to Analog using BlackMagic boxes.
- Outputs composite or component signals for Eurorack setup.
- Alternatives include using an analog camera or direct HDMI to composite converters.
- **Eurorack Setup**:
- Focuses on the video row with LZX TBC2, LZX Memory Palace, and Batumi II LFO.
- LZX TBC2 converts analog video to 1V RGB standard for LZX modules.
- **Output, Monitoring & Recording**:
- Uses a cheap car monitor for backup.
- For recording, formats signal back to SDI and uses Blackmagic HyperDeck Studio HD Mini.
- Main output can be sent through an inexpensive Composite to HDMI converter.
- **Hardware & Software Setup**:
- Hardware flow: Computer > HDMI to SDI > SDI to Analog > TBC2 > Memory Palace > Outputs.
- Software flow: La Habra (Electron app) > VDMX Layer 1 > Syphon > Signal Culture apps > VDMX Layers > Output.
- **VDMX Usage**:
- Adds effects, coordinates input/output, and records footage.
- Uses extreme effects for texture, practical effects for augmentation.
- Utilizes multiple layers, blend modes, and MIDI shortcuts for control.
- **Analog Synth Setup**:
- LZX Memory Palace is the primary module, working in feedback mode with external signals.
- LZX TBC2 converts composite signals to 1V RGB for Memory Palace.
- Batumi LFO provides dynamic control over Memory Palace's feedback.
- **Output & Monitoring**:
- Outputs go to monitor and projector, or through a Blackmagic Analog to SDI box for recording.
- **Performance**:
- Layers and contrasts different types of feedback for varied visual outcomes.
- Brings in short films from other synths for additional layers.
- **Video Demonstration**:
- A video of the live performance is provided, but not viewable in text format.
