PC Lightsynths?

skybear*42* · Post by skybear*42* » Mon Jan 24, 2005 4:38 pm 0

Hi, new to this forum so hello to everyone.
Are there any lightsynths for the PC that ARE NOT emulations, as I would like to get one.
Used to have Colourspace for the ST, but got rid of the ST when I got a PC. D'oh!!!
Loved useing Colourspace and would like to start doing that type of thing again.

Welcome!

There are lots of screen saver/winamp/itunes style visualisers, but no light synths as such as far as I know.

Anybody else know different?

Welcome

There aren't any truly interactive lightsynths that I know of for the PC. I was searching myself a few months back and found diddly-squat.

Like Matt said, there are numerous plug-ins, but I haven't come across a properly interactive one yet. Geiss 2 for Winamp has a small amount of interaction, but nowhere near enough.

The only real choice at the moment is to get an ST emulator and run Trip-a-Tron or Colourspace.

Nothing wrong with emulators, PVB. Except I loaded one from the Retro Gamer disc with all the Llamatron goodies on, and it seams to have put an interupt in my system.
I have reset the system, but the interupt is still there!!

An 'interrupt'?

Do you know which emu prog it was, and what the interrupt is doing/has done?

Hi, PVB. Not sure what emulator it was, cleared them all from my computer and also got rid of some stuff I don't use. Working o.k. now.

By 'interupt' I ment the programe would 'freeze' every now and then, for a few seconds before starting again. O.k. if you wanted to get a screenshot of a game, but annoying

when you are playing.

Sorry for the delay in responding but have to use local net cafe as my phoneline is down at the mo.

Holy freakin' shit...

I've achieved effects like this before was standard fractals passed through KPT Equalizer, but this thing seems to generate the effect as part of the fractal itself (that glow).
