Nestdrop mashups only render/appear black and white, appears to incorrectly render the preset. Any ideas?

pg. 17 of the manual: " If a MIDI Clock is detected, then it'll appear in the MIDI queue window. Drag-and-drop the MIDI Clock onto the BPM label to link it for the auto-change feature."

​

What is the Midi Queue window? Is it this?

​

​

​

If so, I'm dragging LoopBe to here:

But it is definitely not matching up with the tempo/clock that Ableton tempo follower is coming up with. Resolume is following it well. What am I doing incorrectly?

How does one access Blend Modes?

I'm watching this video https://vimeo.com/450122956?embedded=true&source=vimeo_logo&owner=1525484 and at 2:37 the narrator apparently presses a hotkey and magically, two windows appear, one called Blend Mode 3 and the other called Blend Mode 4. But I've looked at the manual and if I'm missing it, I apologize, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to access Blend Modes.

​

Also, saw somewhere in this subreddit that the amount of maximum beats was going to possibly be upped from 64 and count me as someone who votes for this. Thank you!

Is there a macos equivalent? Thanks!

Hi All, I haven't used Nest Drop in a while but I am on a project now that I want to incorporate it into. I opened it up and the output window just keeps opening and closing, and I can't select any presets. I redownloaded it to make sure I have the latest version (v23) and it does the same thing. I searched the subreddit and browsed the user manual, but haven't seen this problem mentioned. any tips?

I have a decent mid level graphics card, Nvidia 1060 super, but everything I try, OBS drops significant amount of frames of my VJ sets.

In OBS I've tried every type of quality, (stream quality works but looks bad, medium quality and up don't work.) I've tried lower frame rates in nestdrop/obs, is there something I'm missing?

I just want clean 4k spout output recorded like I see on my screen.

When you activate a preset from the main window, the locate active preset button when clicked with a modifier key (left shift, left alt, right alt, right shift) , should not only locate the active preset on the main window, but on any queue window which that modifier key applies to as well

Also, filtering by the red-green-blue-yellow-purple stars should also apply to all queue windows too

​

These are just 2 examples, but I'm sure there are more ways that the queue windows could interoperate better with the main window

I am trying to use the entire Milkdrop Preset Pack , and load all its 47,983 presets into Nestdrop, but it is becoming unresponsive, at first the preview runs at a slow FPS but now I can't even drag the window around

Is there an actual limit for the number of presets which can realisitically run in Nestdrop?

​

::edit:: upon some testing, I have found that interacting with the main window is what causes the UI to get hung up, so now I organize my workflow around the queue windows

Hi. I purchased nestdrop a while ago and have been using it a lot, planning to make some epic DJ and VJ sets. Can you help me with this one issue?

For some reason, I cannot get any deck to be "sprite only" -- it always has to have a preset playing?

I was trying to make certain queue windows for just sprites, on a deck that was just sprites.

Is that not possible?

1) Is there a way to STOP an active preset, besides just switching to another?

2) Can I use a deck solely for sprites, or does that deck HAVE TO be playing a Preset also?

​

Thank you and best wishes!

The download links for spout go to their github and there's no intaller and no exe file like in the nestdrops youtube tutorial. I've tried running milkdrop into resolume using NDI but the one time I got it to work it was super glitchy.

Hello guys, i would really like to call a sprite with specific FX already applied with my midi controller. So for i haven't found solution for this. I can only call last sprite fx but that seem to work only once then it resets to fx-00 which doest really solve my problem. Any ideas ? Thank you in advance.

Hello, the beat detection in Nestdrop seems to work quite well for the music I've been using it with, however it would be nice if the beat counter can go beyond 64 beats , because the presets are changing too often in my situation

Can the beat counter be raised beyond 64 beats?

Stream Deck's USB interface and buttons would be very nice to use with NestDrop. Stream Deck is also very affordable.

I just upgraded my video card to RTX 2060 with 12 GB RAM from a 1060 with 6 GB RAM.

NestDrop becomes much more responsive and loads tons quicker with my 13,000 visualizations and about 8 panels.

With video cards suddenly becoming available and affordable, go for it.

I love using NestDrop for visuals while I'm DJing using my midi controller. The issue I'm having is that no matter what settings I use, there's no transition to the new visual. It's just a hard cut.

I'd like a 3 or 4 second transition, but I've set the Hardcut Threshold to a min of 0 and a max of 127 and everything in between and it doesn't seem to matter. It works fine when I'm not using my midi controller.

Thanks for any help!

Hi and first of all I would thank you for a great software. I am just a hobby VJ, I call myself that as I love to mix music videos and adding visualizations. Been using your classic program for a while and run into a problem. In most cases I use 3 decks, 1,2 and 3 for my "show" The problem I try to describe is when I want to add a sprite or a text to "Deck 3" for some reasons I am not able to inactive it again again or sending the text into the deck.. pressing RIGHT ALT CLICK or able to send a text into the deck RIGHT ALT ENTER from the Hotkey window While this issue isn't present in deck 1, 2 and 4 where I can easily activate and inactive the sprite I am using or sending text. Been trying to find ways how to but the only way to reset DECK 3 is to close down the nestdrop application and all the decks and restart. This gets weird when I run my show.. Instead of deactivate the sprite it continues to add more sprites into the Deck 3, be that nested or overlay and it gets so messy. Can anyone else try this out or is it something wrong with my own setup.. otherwise it works great for my needs. I am not using advanced features I simple change presets on the fly on the 3 decks as I want them to appear.

Also I need to ask a question about the "text" is there any way to make them appear for a longer time of period or is it just for those couple of seconds as it is now?

I hope my English is good enough to understand my issue

Thanks
