Midi-Vidi

Filed under: Uncategorized | Back to: Homepage

This video freakathon demonstrates the use of MIDI-VIDI – a plugin that lets you control the playback of Quicktime videos with MIDI inside of Ableton Live 8, thanks to the magic of Max For Live.

Midi-Vidi divides your video into 12 equal parts based on the length of your video and assigns those parts to MIDI notes. There is also an effects section that allows you to map attributes such as velocity to some simple effects.
