biniou-general Mailing List for Biniou

Hi Oliv3 ;)

I tought about the posibility to get groups for the sequences and the 
posibility to change "on the fly" to a desired one.

Ex:
Getting 10 folders in the ~.lebiniou/sequences and assign a keymap 1 to 0 to 
change between the sequences:

~.lebiniou/sequences/1/ 	[1]
~.lebiniou/sequences/2/	[2]
.....
~.lebiniou/sequences/10/	[0]

It would be much easier to organize all IPulse,Tunnel;Kaleidoscope,Psykedelik 
etc.. created sequences in separated groups for the user to avoid getting "bad 
luck" playing live.

Don't know if it would be a lot of work/changes héhé

Thx & have a good day :)

MK

Well, the "man lebiniou" is a really good one, the only problem I've 
encountered was... images.png not accepted/recognized, here the output:

[+] Loading pictures
[+] Loading theme 'mk': [!] png_get_data: Unknown file error. 
(/home/misterx/.lebiniou/images//mk/GrainLunaire.png)
[!] if this is an indexed PNG, convert it to non-indexed
[!] also, remove any comments from the PNG
done.

I've solved my problem opening an image of the default theme with the gimp, 
then copy/paste my image to a new mask then save as.. et voila ;)
(maybe a command line will do all the stuff: resize, convert to png and don't 
know what I'm missing ... convert to non-indexed... I've to investigate...)

Seems a really good idea, for sure it will be much more easy for new users.

- mmm I was quite intrigued having a look at wiiniou.avi, and thought maybe 
support for video files entries and/or live capture device ex v4l (as internal 
plugin like Ipulse) would be posible and imo a great feature.
- Also getting a duration of the sequence/scheme in auto random mode adaptive 
to the bpm (automatic detection or by tapping for exemple) could be nice for 
people like me (while mixing music, don't have much time to manualy change the 
sequences, so the program is running in auto random, and I don't interact a 
lot with it)
- Other great feature may be integration of effectv, freiOr, freeframe plugins
(and that's all for now, thx for your time)

Yes ;) will do all I can to promote lebiniou, full support 
(it gave me motivation to start working again on the io GNU/Linux project, I 
will try getting a new build in the next months that would include lebiniou)

PS: au plaisir de se croiser un de ces jours derrière les caissons Oliv

Wish you a great and happy weekend, peace bro

Hey, you definitely got the point of this software :) Indeed this
project was created more than 10 years ago, to be used in free parties
as a support for the DJs/VJs, for the pleasure of the eyes of the
audience in complement to the music

It's really cool to see it in action in a party, projected on walls for
example

(Note: it can also be used with non-electronical music :) )

That's really nice, thank you for the video and the screenshots of the
setup ! I'll put a like on http://biniou.net/files.php

Erm, yes :) Indeed we have deep roots in music from the Spiral Tribe and
affiliated gangs :)

In your video, I see you use a lot of your images, that's excellent; was
the setup not too difficult ? Is the manual ok for beginners ?

I'm planning for a future release to add a support for "Tilda-themes",
eg if you set a theme like "~mytheme", Le Biniou will fetch the images
from your .lebiniou/images/mytheme/ directory instead of
/usr/share/lebiniou/images/mytheme/ ; what do you think ?

Any comments or critics are also welcomed, by the way :)

> PS2: les devs ne seraient-ils pas français a tout hasard?

Sisi, tout à fait ;)

> Keep up the great work, and ,,, don't stop the (free)party

"...You can't stop the future", they say :)

Feel free to spread the word and let more people join the boat !
Now is the time for Le Biniou to run into parties around the world :)

Enjoy,

setup running 4decks using an hybrid version of xwax (thx to Mark Hills for

software I was looking for since a long time ago for my audio&visual project,
