Oh, here is something every patching environment should shamelessly copy – so if you bring up the Node Library from an outlet, for example, it only displays Nodes that work with that outlet. Suggestions automatically brings up just the nodes that work with a selected node’s connection.CMD-ENTER/CTRL-ENTER with a node selected also brings up search.Double-click on the canvas, inlets, outlets, or a wire to bring up Node Library and search.And yeah, this brings up a heiarchical preview with Spotlight-style search bar, just as you’ve come to expect in a lot of visual and musical tools. There’s a new Node Library with search.It’s something that makes exploration easier. But that’s a very big deal as quality-of-life enhancement.
#SPOUT IN RESOLUME 5 UPDATE#
This update doesn’t bring fancy new capabilities or some new patching paradigm – it simply makes it easier to bring up the nodes you want to patch together. The individual blocks they call “nodes,” which I always thought was the most boring and un-synthesizer-like name, but you know what this means – little blocks you wire together to form other stuff. Wire is the other reason to be excited about Resolume right now – open modular patching integrated with the system. It’s almost as easy as it was with those little TV screens with composite ins.įriendlier Wire patching. But between 7.7 and 7.9, you can easily preview whatever you want, wherever you want.

The feature here lets you preview right from Output and CrossFader. That and other live-friendly features mean that Resolume can be a great real-time hub for visuals created in other tools, from live coding to game engines to heavy-duty VFX tools. Resolume 7.7 already allowed as many preview monitors as you wanted, with the ability to check out groups and layers. (That was painful, given not so long ago we were at 240p.)īut now it’s 2022, and monitoring is GPU-accelerated and you might want to check out what’s happening with part of a particular projection/LED mapping, or you might be routing between applications with Spout, or what have you. So, in the very early days of VJing, previewing was a pretty simplistic affair – partly because horsepower at the time meant that doing any kind of preview risked spending precious frames.
#SPOUT IN RESOLUME 5 PLUS#
7.9 brings advanced monitoring right on your display, perfect for more complex settings and mapping, plus a big, easy search tool for bringing up all the modules (nodes) inside the Wire patching environment. Visual platform, VJ tool, and media server Resolume keeps adding cool stuff.
