What it does

When VJ software, a modular synthesizer and a laser meet… An app for creating abstract line visuals. Created for live performances, optimized for laser projectors. You can download a free trial version at https://modulaser.app for Mac OSX and Windows.

Patch laser visuals with nodes, route them across multiple lasers, and output to any ILDA DAC. Free to try on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Create and perform laser visuals on any ILDA projector. Modulaser 2 is a ground-up rewrite with a new engine, quick effects, multi-DAC output, and a workflow built for professional laser shows. Modulaser started as a creative instrument for laser visuals. Modulaser 2 keeps that direct, hands-on feel, but rebuilds the editor, file system, rendering path, and output workflow for rigs that need more than one projector. Start with quick shapes, effects, and modulation, then go deeper with the node editor when the idea asks for it. Laser show software should stay playful, curious, and easy to keep pushing. The output engine builds laser-ready frames for each projector. Per-laser profiles,…from modulaser.app

    I'm enthralled with using pen plotters to make generative art. Last August at SIGGRAPH, I built an interactive experience for others to see how code can be used to make visual art. The linked blog post is my trials and tribulations of linking a MIDI controller to one of these algorithms and sending its output to a plotter, so that people may witness the end-to-end experience.

    Hello HN, not many will know what this tool is about, but it's launch day and I always dreamed of posting on HN. Let's start! This is a tool for people using eurorack gear. For synth people. What is cool about my tool is that I show the signal flow with a graph. Here's the official press text: After a decade of stagnation in this space we are excited to present patcher.xyz: the modern way to manage everything modular. It’s a tool for professionals, enthusiasts, and casual wigglers. Novadays artists must develop their own means of taking notes, often on paper, since there is no common format…
