On November 4th, we held a stream on the Tokyo Developer Study Weekend channel, where we presented Bitwig and its integration with TouchDesigner.
Stream program:
1. Self Introduction. Showcase of my AV works
2. Intro to Bitwig for TouchDesigner Users
1. UI
2. Modulations and Remote Controls
3. TDBitwig.Integration for AV Sync. Data Structure in Bitwig and representation as TDBitwig Devices
4. Practical Example
As a practical example I decided to take a quite interesting case. I took a library of Glitch video loops containing sound, and made a TouchDesigner Patch playing the videos in sync with sound, controlled by Bitwig drum machine.
