Hey all!

It's finally here – the new algorhythm version. You can download the .zip here:

3.17
(March, 2023)
Important Note: For .tox files to load, you might have to select a different Folder (instead of Toxes) and then reselect Toxes, if you wish to use that one. You can use any Folder though.

3.166 (September, 2022)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ph58WKMba3l0oTnOuGuemi-Zp9ZsFcuV/view?usp=share_link

You can find the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/AbRJPdY0MOc

Please do not share this with anyone but Patrons of mine. Thanks!

You can find info and some basic instructions when clicking the "Help" button at the top right. 

Limitations: This is an alpha version, there will be bugs, it's work in progress. It runs pretty well on my powerful laptop but might not on older computers. I have not been able to test this on any other machine apart from my own, including any Mac. So far, only 1920x1080 resolution is supported for the UI, but it still works on the Free version. Works best on the latest TD version, only works on 2022.

Please share any feedback, bugs, ideas, suggestions etc. with me via mail@elekktronaut.com! I will add more devices, visuals etc. in October, feel free to send me Post FX and visuals I can include. I'd love this to be a community tool.

Thank you for making this possible by supporting me ❤️ I really hope this runs well for you and that you like what I've been working on :)

All the best,
bileam

anybody has successfully inserted a custom tox to this ? I can't find a way to make it work..

John Middlehurst

Awesome work dude - thanks so much for sharing with us!

璽勻 曾

I have the same problem too. I'm glad to hear that you will fix this bug. I will wait for your update.

John Middlehurst

New version this week as promised! - thanks Bileam!!

StarSheep

Mind blowing work! I am having trouble making my own projects into tox to use, perhaps in the future you could make a video on just a super basic tox for use with algorhythm. You have really pushed this project so far, thank you

elekktronaut

thank you! noted :) for now, check the "help" button at the top right of the ui or simply look at the exisiting .toxes and build yours the same way. also look at the "note" i posted with the latest link: "For .tox files to load, you might have to select a different Folder (instead of Toxes) and then reselect Toxes, if you wish to use that one. You can use any Folder though."

StarSheep

The changing folder from TOXES then back totally worked ! Sorry to not have read far enough, lol Thanks again! You are a star!

Rosendo

Amazing work! I'm trying to insert a simple tox, following all the instructions, like null top at the end, with no success, my TD versions is 2022.32120, I try on algorhtm 0_316 and 0_317

John Middlehurst

Hi - can anyone tell me what the Output resolution in the Output section settings parameters controls? Ive been adjusting it but not seeing any change in resolution in either of the 2 monitor outputs. Thanks!

Stefan van den Berg

Bileam, i am truely flabbergasted (-: What a fantastic tool, incredibly well structured, very intuitive UI and really pretty on top of it. Thank you so much...

Rudi Agius

Thank you for this amazing interface. I really wish it could handle more images and more videos instead of only 1 at a time.

Stefan van den Berg

I managed to set up an own custom tox file with parameters and it loads correctly in Algorythm... I do not understand yet how i can use a videodevicein operator within my tox? It seems not to work if I add the videodevicein operator in the tox. To test, i made a tox that is just a videodevicein to a null called bg. If i load this tox in Algorythm, no video is shown and the webcam does not switch on. Has anyone an idea why and how to set it up so i can use video from my webcam in my tox, started from Algorythm? Also, is it possible to use a kinect within my tox?

TATIANA BUTTS

Hi! does this version of algorhythm work with tox files containing 3D objects? It seems like those are the only ones it's refusing to display for me :( I tried removing any environment maps/textures/anything with images, thinking it could be a problem with the links, but it seems like it's a problem with 3D objects/instancing

"Great job Bileam! I was wondering if it's possible to map the software via Midi to a lighting desk, specifically MA Lighting. Currently, Resolume works well with MA where I can map the software according to the channels I have created in Resolume and patch those channels as generic directly in MA. Thank you for creating such an amazing software!"

Tray Papi

any chance you'd put out the audio detection tools out separately? joined the patreon for for those but having trouble finding only the audio analysis project

Nathan Hicks

Hey Bileam! I've been trying to get Algorhythm to work for an upcoming show. I'm currently running it on my Macbook and trying to get it to output to a projector. For some reason, the Projector 1 button puts the output on my main Macbook screen over top the perform UI, then if I hit the Projector 2 button, nothing happens.

Nathan Hicks

Nevermind! I figured it out. The Monitor1 and Monitor2 nodes were set to "1" and "2", but my projector was being treated as "0" at the start of that array. Got it working!

elekktronaut

hey! sorry for the late reply. so far you can map most of the parameters to midi but not save it (add a midi from the devices on the left). I'd love to do it like in ableton, but i dont see myself being able to work on this tool any time soon :/

Jomney

this tool is exactly what I was looking for and I'm grateful there's someone smarter than me who built it <3. Is there a way to move and scale the algorythm window? it's kind of locked onto my monitor in an awkward position

Jasmine Rose Federer

I havent been able to add any of my own tox's... they all appear as black - perhaps its something to do with the audio 'in' at the start of each of them but they are all based on audioreactivity - please help !!

elekktronaut

hey have you tried what i added before? "For .tox files to load, you might have to select a different Folder (instead of Toxes) and then reselect Toxes, if you wish to use that one. You can use any Folder though." how are your toces structured? is there a null called bg at the end?

ada huang

Hi Bileam and fellas, im preparing a VJ set for upcoming show and this is my first time using Algorhythm. Im wondering the limitation of current 2023 version: Can I run the system on OS and does it require certain version of Touchdesigenr? Im curretnly on TD2023 .11760

Thomas Bugg

Thank you for your amazing work! I noticed that you can set the playlist to switch toxes automatically after a certain number of seconds, however, it is a fixed duration for each tox. I am trying to create a sequence whereby I can assign a custom duration to each tox so that the playlist will automatically switch after each duration is complete e.g. 30 seconds on Tox 1, 57 seconds on Tox 2, 19 seconds on Tox 3 etc. etc. Do you know how I might achieve this?

Diego Chavez

Excited to test this out! Hey where's a good spot to place an NDI out? I'd like to send the output to another TD project running a master project with a stoner setup in an art gallery. Thanks!

Diego Chavez

Awesome! I found it. This is amazing, thank you!

Roberto Teran

Hello Bileam, I can't find the file with Algorhythm, it says in the Drive folder that it's in your trash folder, is there something that I'm doing wrong?

Lars Hansson

this is truly amazing!! Is there an easy way to blank the output? I do some live performance gigs where i want to fade out to black as the song ends, change the tox and fade in to ther new tox.

Gordon Harris

Hey Bileam - running 60 fps ok on my old MSI GS43VR 7RE so far with one video and your toxes so far. If I want to play a video with its sound in sync, how do I do that please?

Luke Free

MacBook Pro m1max 32cGPU 64gb ram reporting in Very solid 60fps (6-7ms CPU timing) Running great! I've managed to add my own custom PostFX too, really enjoying it.

Sam Sakr

Looks great! But mine keeps crashing im using a MacBook Pro m1max TD 2022.28040

Lars Hansson

feature request! :) would it be possible to add functionality so that the custom tox:es can have a video input?

elekktronaut

sorry to hear! i've heard it works for others with the m1 and i currently have no way to test it personally. are there any error messages?

Lars Hansson

this is just SOOO much fun! Have you come up with a way to share tox:es? I have e few tests i can share. Also: I am having problems getting the spectrum to work. do you have en example tox that uses it?

elekktronaut

glad to hear! i'll probably make a discord channel for that soon. and i'll share a video on setting up toxes asap where i also show spectrum integration

Elena Samano

Hola! I downloaded the patreon folder and another option that you shared in a link in this conversation, but the file does not let me run the program

elekktronaut

Hey! Can you elaborate? You need to unzip the file and then run the .toe. You also need the 2022 version of TD.

lim

Really cool work as always! There’s one thing I’d like to request though – algorhythm seems perfect to use it for VJing. But one thing that’s a problem is that every time you switch to the next tox in the playlist, you have to reconnect all the audio signals and stuff to the parameters. It’d be awesome if you could save the connections for each tox so you don’t have to set everything up from scratch when you’re in the middle of a set or something.

elekktronaut

Thanks! Yea I noticed this as well. Also saving the setup when reopening TD is high up on my list.
