Where is NEON for PC????

[Dio]

I've got a DMX parallel port dongle knocking around somewhere if someone wants to borrow it. Not sure how recent the drivers for it are mind, it's been in a box for ten years.

There were some awesome visuals running at a club night in Cheltenham the other night, they were definitely interactive as the VJ had them controllable from both his laptop and synched to the lighting desk too so whatever they were running understood DMX commands, which is definitely something worth considering for Neon if it's ever going to get used in any kind of serious environment.

I've seen a lot of stuff being controlled through straight midi-mapping as well. Couple of the high end pioneer mixers have separate panels just for visual controls. Can't remember the model, but one of them's got an awesome little LCD preview monitor above the cue, as well.

I think they're applying the old audio mixing layout to multiple video inputs so it's DJ friendly and packaging the lot into the same box. Bit expensive, but bloody nice kit.

I'd agree that Neon would need something like DMX or a really simple Midi-mapping screen to turn a lot of VJs on. Would be an awesome visual channel to have running...

I am eagerly awaiting this as well and have been as soon as I heard about a neon pc version and I would like to know if you are still going to be able to control it with 4 xbox controllers? PLEASE COME OUT SOON and don't leave us hanging again.

Welcome desypher, to the fluffiest forums on the net!

PC Neon should (AFAIK) allow multiple controllers or even one game controller/gamepad 'virtually' becoming one of the four as required, so you should be fine.

This is torture. I'm not having a pop at either Giles or Jeff it's just I can't afford a 360 and don't play many console games any more so a PC version of SG with Neon bundled is nirvana to me.
Keep up the good work sheepy ones and have my money A.S.A.P.

Nobody's said (AFAIK) that PC Neon will be bundled with PC Space Giraffe.

Also, what graphics card have you got in your PC, as you might need to upgrade that to play Neon/SG?

my mistake, however I will be buying both and I'm up grading to a 2.8 amd dual core, 2 gig ddr2, dx 10 machine tomorrow

Don't ask Giles what he thinks about DX9/10.

I don't envy anyone having to deal with PC coding, I just give due respect to those who can

[p-saurus]

I just bought Audiosurf to tide me over. I can't wait for Neon and SG on PC either.

Any chance of any interactive modes in conjunction with a webcam? I just saw this video http://www.vimeo.com/1219327?pg=embed&sec=1219327 and it made me think how cool it would be able to interact with neon using the webcam as a controller. I also was wondering if you would be able to use midi signals to sync in neon?

Can anyone give a reasonable estimate of when Neon will be out for the PC? Is there any chance of cancelation? Its been so long.
Thanks

No chance of cancellation, as Llamasoft aren't making it for someone else who could pull the plug.

I'd guess it'll be out in months rather than years. Not helping much, am I?

Not using a camera as a controller as such, but I'm pretty sure there will be an option to use a video source as an element of Neon.

I apologize if this is old news, but I wasn't able to find the answer with some simple searches ...

Is it safe to assume that Neon for the PC will be able to work with the audio-in signal, so (for instance) I could hook it up to my hi-fi rig and visualize from any external sound source? Or does it require that I play audio internally from the PC?

Thanks,
