Unreal Exploration

I might just be pivoting to use Unreal Engine for future developments.
This is my first project using UE5 as the new engine for Juvul AV explorations.
I have made a series of custom MIDI Components and this is the first test putting a few things together.

The Unreal scene doesn’t do much (animation wise) by itself but is driven by a multi-channel sound track – the music that you hear playing of course – composed and played real-time in Cubase with telePort in tandem and transmitting Live MIDI to the Unreal Scene.

So, as always it is indeed very real-time what you see. It also already had its debut as a live and interactive “Piano controlled installation”.

In effect, this could be the beginning of β€œnew MIDIum”…

WIP

Juvul is knee deep in two as of yet secret collaborations. This means that not much time is available for telePort/MIDIum or the upcoming game Cathode – using the same technology. Here however is a preview video of the in-house level editor used for the game, which does in fact relate to everything else.



Manual Done!

During this summer a few telePort jams inspired the need for a couple of extra features for this version. They are now all done and includes:

-a MIDI Input Utility that lets you virtually change MIDI Channel and merge several small controllers into one. Great for tiny (travel) setups!
-Poly pressure Input Type
-Computer keyboard Input Types (Both individual keys, and the numeric range)
-Program Change Support: Both for Hardware Instruments and Hardware Insert Effects.
-A couple of tiny enhancements and “smart features”

And, as the headline says the telePort manual is now done!
This version is also completely JAVA free, meaning especially Mac OSX Yosemite users will be happy.
All in all, this now truly looks like the final version of telePort 0.9.2 and a launch video will be coming soon!

Until then… here is a screenshot from the new version of MIDIum – also coming along nicely.
What more fitting in this dark time to have the mascot TV Cat illuminated by pages of the manual? That’s 256 dynamic real-time light sources for you…! Wishing you all a great winter solstice/celebration of light/christmas!
