Hello Helen, It is possible if the Vj console send some kind of OSC signals or at least Midi signals( midi can be converted into OSC) but
I have a questions: Do you use a vj mixing console? because vj mix consoles are rare and expensive equipments and VJ'S usually use VJsoftware with Midi hardware interfaces, if not: If you have any ios device you can try these apps http://recotana.com/iphone/iosc/en/index.html or http://hexler.net/software/touchosc <http://hexler.net/software/touchosc>and take a look at this software it is used for controlling various applications with several controller via OSC http://www.osculator.net/ On Tue, Apr 12, 2011 at 11:51 PM, Helen Yung <in...@helenyung.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > I'm new to the Animata world and my background is in theatre and > literature.
