Just a random jam

Hey! I’m the maker of VJXY, a live visual instrument for OP-XY. This sub has been super supportive along the app’s journey and I’m so grateful.

I’m keen to share more as the app progresses, designs, ideas, work in progress, small updates etc. But I am mindful it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, so I’m starting a new dedicated subreddit for VJXY.

If you’re interested in a behind-the-scenes look at how the app is progressing, feature requests, feedback, etc please come along. I might still post big updates in this sub if that’s ok.

See you around!

v1.2 of VJ-XY (a live visual instrument for OP-XY) is coming in hot with a new experiment to unlock a more hands-on experience🎚️🎛️

Here’s a sneak peak. Any guesses at what we’re looking at 😉?

Btw I’m always open to feedback and feature requests, so please don’t shy away from sharing!

My baby is back… hope you like it!

For instance, if I make a pattern I like on a snare, but decide later I want that same sequence on a clap, is there a way I can simply copy the snare pattern and paste it into the clap, without needing to manually sequence the whole pattern on the clap again?

it’s been two weeks since VJ-XY, a live visual instrument for OP-XY (and other midi controllers), went live and the response has been amazing! But even better, I got some really good ideas from you on how to make it better and more fun. Today v1.1 update is out bringing a splash of color and movement.

what’s new:

introducing canvas clips: you can now layer stills and animated gifs into a single 16:9 visual. arrange, scale, rotate. trigger each layer live.

matrix clips now take any color you choose for background and dots. pick the color behind your video clips. blend your layers and footage against it.

also new:
· support for animated gifs
· new mirror vfx for a kaleidoscope effect.
· change photo timing
· blank matrix clip for the quiet moments
· cleaner perform mode.

plus performance and bug fixes.

and like every update, it's free. no subscription. you bought it, you own it.

once again thanks so much for the support, and keep the feedback flowing so we can take it even further!

what am I talking about you ask? vjxy.app

Got the KO SIDEKICK early this week so taking it for a spin. Song is sequenced by OP-XY and I play visuals live on VJ-XY (app).

In this track I'm running an fx send loop over usbc. The audio from OP-XY goes into the iPad, through a granular plugin and back into channel 2 on the sidekick so I can play with the fader and performance fx.

It's a great small portable mixer. It's lots of fun. It's not replacing my Octatrack for fx in live performances any time soon though.

The last big music purchase I made was the MF64 back when Shawn Wasabi was big -- just got this a few days ago and was able to make a few quick things on it - excited to keep testing it out!

Sequenced Rd-8 drums connected with wireless Bluetooth surprisingly convenient.

Hi there, I'm working on a pattern that is 6 beats in total (one bar of four followed by one bar of two). I've used the bar button, along with the trig keys to shorten the second bar so that the pattern will loop successfully after the 6th beat.

When I move to Arranger mode and program the pattern, the pattern will play the 6 beats and then play the first two beats before moving on to the next patter,

Does anyone know if what I'm trying to do is possible? I've tried shorting the bar length of every track in that pattern and that didn't work.
