There have been a few inquiries about the camera feed not working correctly — this issue will be fixed in 3.0.3 (which will come this week)
If you can’t wait, and are using a pc, you can download a feature-incomplete version of 3.0.3 at: http://www.onyx-vj.com/pre-launch/onyx_3_0_3_prelaunch.zip
You will have to copy the Onyx2.swf and use it with the performance executable at: http://code.google.com/p/onyx-vj/downloads/list
Please comment on this if you’d like some help installing the pre-pre-pre-pre-launch 3.0.3
We’re looking for some people to help us beta test 3.0.3, which has midi interactivity, among other features. If you’d like to help us test it before it launches next week, please send me a mail: dan@danielhai.com.
3.0.3: FEATURES
Changes:
- Addition of Windowing Buttons (click to open/close windows)
- Ability to save certain settings (blend mode order, window locations, filter orders, key mapping)
- All tempo filters can be turned on or off through a global setting (if they do not use tempo, they’ll be timer based)
- Mix files can now save display background color and filters, as well as the xml format version
- Addition of new custom movies:
- Layer copy — copies another fully rendered layer
- Loop Machine — copies the display output for 10 seconds into a layer
- Addition of a memory consumption graph
- Addition of Midi Learn (not totally done)
- Addition of Tempo beats 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1. Can sync tempo to specific beats.
- Changed the random property in the FrameRND to off/start/end — setting it to end makes the framerate smooth towards a new random time
- Display properties of saturation, threshold, contrast, and brightness can now be affected
- Control Arrays can now change and will be dispatched to the UI
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug where pressing up or down (selecting filters) was crashing Onyx
- Fixed a bug where the visible property was not dispatching to the UI
- Fixed a bug where turning off the global tempo, and then adding a tempo filter, would re-start the tempo
- Fixed a bug where the loop start and end points were not dispatching changes to the UI
- Fixed a bug where tempo was getting out of sync after a little while
- Fixed a bug where the display window tabs were not clickable
- Fixed a bug where extra controls in filters / custom controls would not scroll correctly
- Fixed a bug where StateManager was returning class definitions, rather than the application state
API Changes:
- RenderManager changed to onyx.render.renderContent and onyx.render.renderFilters
- onyx.core.RenderTransform moved to onyx.render
- onyx.core.IRenderObject moved to onyx.render
- onyx.core.settings removed, variables now live in onyx.settings.*
- More performance tuning, bitmapdata.rect now changed to onyx.constants.BITMAP_RECT
- Addition of ControlPlugin (for filters, transitions, macros, visualizers)
Dev Notes:
- Onyx.displays moved to Display.displays
- Display._renderContent moved to DisplayRenderState (for future pausing of rendering)
- ApplicationState.initialize changes to no arguments
- Addition of ApplicationState.pause
- XML loading and saving moved to individual classes (controls.loadXML, filters.loadXML, etc)
Deferred Bugs:
- performance error by setting threshold > 0 and then contrast < 0. Onyx Hangs (looks like a bad color matrix)
