One of the most interesting new products at the show was the
Lightworks Graphics Synthesizer from Euphonics. This is a
hardware/software combination package that is a little hard to
describe. It lets you engage in what I call "performance
graphics".
Basically, Lightworks lets you display actively changing graphics
in conjunction with music. These graphics can be patterns,
pictures, or anything you want. The graphics can change in
response to scripts, audio input, MIDI input, or an active user.
Many of the supplied patterns are intended to be genlocked over
live video.
The package includes a controller box with eight sliders. These
can be used to control almost any part of the display.
On display was one fancy geometric pattern changing its pallate
in response to audio input. Another was a graphic display
indicating the bass, midrange, and treble response to more music.
The package is intended for music technicians and disk jockeys.
You really have to see it to understand how it works. I have
only mentioned a few of the features. In the hands of a capable
artist, it could have considerable potential.
