Master Zap Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Here's proof what kind of fool I am - I made a 3D QTVR panorama of my studio. MESS and all. This was actually just a test to see if the software worked, and it turned out way better than I had anticipated... I was planning to TIDY it FIRST, THEN do the actual shots http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif www.Master-Zap.com/studio And you will all lose respect for my piece of crap music when you see the garage it's made in http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif /Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Zap Posted June 29, 2001 Author Share Posted June 29, 2001 Miroslav: try this then, a shortcut http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Yes its a Casio CZ-101. I also have the cult CASIO SK1 but it aint in the pic. Actually a lot of stuff is kinda outta-sight. Like under the Casio a Yamaha CS-5 (old analog) and in front of that a Korg Mono/Poly (old hip analog, and I love that intermodulation distorsion Craig! http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif ) and there is an Ensoniq TS-12 just under the Juno-60 but the camera aint wideangle nuff to catch it.... Gotta love that Logan String Melody II string synth also un top of the drawers under a bunch of, uh, junk.... http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif /Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miroslav Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 OK Zap...that link worked. To really do the virtual reality 3D photos though, you need multiple images. I've done work with the IPIX system which utilizes dual opposing photos take with a special calibrated camera housing and a 180 degree fish eye lens. With the IPIX system you get total 360 degree horizontal and vertical. Drawback is that it requires another browser plug-in or JAVA enabled browser. With the QuickTime VR, all you need is the standard QuickTime Player...which most people probably already have on their computers. Another issue with QTVR is that beside the calibrated camera housing, you also need to take anywhere from 12 to 24 photos going in a 360 degree circle, depending on the final image quality you needed, to get a true 3D VR image. This could make it difficult to seem the images properly if lighting conditins are varied or if there was any movement from shot to shot. You can also make these 3d VR images very interactive...say you see a particular item in the surround photo...like the keyboard in Zap's image. You can then create a hot-spot with link that might provide a pop-up window describig the keyboard or even link you to another URL. Currently, I am starting to explore some similar hot-spot/linking capabilities within full motion video, using QuickTime Movies, should be really cool. You can watch a music video and then you click on the lead singers microphone and up comes a pop-up window saying "Shure SM58", or it takes you directly to the Shure web site in a child window, while the video keeps on truckin'... I'm getting dizzy...and all I ever wanted to do was play my guitar... http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

David R. Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Very cool. I didn't think Musicplayer would allow nudity, and that thing with the goat... Ooops, wrong link.

Master Zap Posted June 29, 2001 Author Share Posted June 29, 2001 Miroslav: In actuality, this is not "Quicktime Vr". I wrote this because most people know about it. It's a java plugin. It IS done with multiple photos - 10 to be precise. I as planning on doing the whole circle but a) this was just a test b) battery in camera died http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif So I tested what I had It's a REALLY cool FREEE software called PANOTOOLS you use to do this. It's rather hard to use tho, but you cant beat the price (FREE). And its pretty damned smart... coz you take a few pics from the same spot... you dont have to do EXACTLY 20 degree angle increments or anything, just "sorta kinda". Then by pointing out matching points in pairs of images (they must overlap!) you can "teach" the software, which then optimizes the data, and makes a single rectilinearrily projected image. And there is the (free also) Java viewer to see it so NO plugin required. Kinda cool. /Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Ventura Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 Ok let's see if I got everything you have straightened out: -Nord lead 2 -K-2500 R -ASR-X Pro with 2 extra eproms, SCSI and multi outs (and a replaced left dial knob) -Zoom 1604 (or 1204, whatever it's called) multi-fx -Yamaha P-300 amp (that's a livesound amp!) -Dynaudio spkrs (even if at first I thought HHB) -Behringer Ultrafex (or DualFex, which is the same) -Behringer Composer -Behringer minimixer, probably a 1604 -a Roland S-series sampler under the Zoom? -a Kenton Midi-to-CV interface -Sennheiser headphones -Alesisi Midiverb -Boss SuperPhaser pedal (or it could be a tremolo) -Boss Noise Reduction pedal -a bottle of rubbing Alcohol in the next room -can't tell the yellow rack unit -an organ under the library -a Pg-800 or 1000 programmer sitting on the J-60, so I reckon there must be some Roland MKS somewhere... -is that another ASR-X that I see in the far back? A black one? I could not tell the CZ-101 (bleahhhurrrghhhh!) and the Monopoly, but I reckoned the Yamaha was a CS-15 - close enough. Max Italia. Max Ventura, Italy.

Master Zap Posted July 1, 2001 Author Share Posted July 1, 2001 Argomax: VERY well done, but not quite right on all accounts. Here are corrections: -Nord lead 2 NOPE - Nord MODULAR, the synth for Real Men. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif -K-2500 R "RS" even (sampler option) -ASR-X Pro with 2 extra eproms, SCSI and multi outs (and a replaced left dial knob) TWO extra? Cant have more than one in the ASR-X. And all knobs are standard (but my right one is starting to act up, soddy thing) -Zoom 1604 (or 1204, whatever it's called) multi-fx 1201 actually... old crappy thing. Noisy. But has a few nice revebs. (I thought the vocoder was fun until I got the Nord Modular http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif ) -Yamaha P-300 amp (that's a livesound amp!) Nope, its an InterM R-300 "reference amplifier". -Dynaudio spkrs (even if at first I thought HHB) Nope, Mirage FRX-One -Behringer Ultrafex (or DualFex, which is the same) Nope, Behringer MULTIfex. (Amusing unit, its old, and behringer first tried to deny ever manifacturing such a device when asked, until I got to one of their "Old timers". Apparently the original name for the first run of the Dualfex'es.) -Behringer Composer Behringer compressor of some sort. -Behringer Minimixer, probably a 1604 Depens on what you reffer to. The thingy high in the rack is an Ibanez (eek) compressor+16-band-eq+notch-filter combo which is fun on drums. On top of that is a DBX Project 1 spectral enhancer (not even connected http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif ) and on top of THAT a Yamaha R-100 reverb. -a Roland S-series sampler under the Zoom? Nope, Roland MKS-50!! -a Kenton Midi-to-CV interface Close - a Kenton MIDI-to-DCB interface (for the Juno) -Sennheiser headphones Yep -Alesisi Midiverb Midiverb 4 yep -Boss SuperPhaser pedal (or it could be a tremolo) -Boss Noise Reduction pedal Nope and Nope, the white one is the Boss DD-2 digital delay and the blue on the Boss METAL-1 dist. -a bottle of rubbing Alcohol in the next room Nah, thats junk for the pool. Chemicals and crap. -can't tell the yellow rack unit Syntecno TeeBee-303 Mk II -an organ under the library Close - a Logan String Melody II string synthesizer -a Pg-800 or 1000 programmer sitting on the J-60, so I reckon there must be some Roland MKS somewhere... Nope. It's an AKAI MM16 "Midi Mixer" which also has a "controller mode" so I use it to do controller changes for sounds on the Kurzweil mostly, plus doing expression and pan stuff "live" on MIDI tracks -is that another ASR-X that I see in the far back? A black one? Yep. Got 'em from Ensoniq for free as part of my deal for them to build "Stomper" into the red ASR-X's > I could not tell the CZ-101 (bleahhhurrrghhhh!) and the Monopoly, > but I reckoned the Yamaha was a CS-15 - close enough. Yeah you can't see them much in this shot. Also stuff not seeable is the mini-rack full of small rack units (Boss delay, Boss overdrive, Rocktron mono Exciter), plus a Rocktron "Pro Chorus" under the black ASR-X. When I do this again (in higher quality with CLEAN studio) I'll set up clickable info for all stuff. /Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Ventura Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 I stand corrected. In fact: -i'd have certainly recognized the Nord Modular if I gave it anything more than a side glance and thought "Nord 2 - let's move on". -The MKS WAS there, then! I smelled it. -The Akai midi mixer: incredible resemblance. -the Kenton: you gotta give me full points for that, CV or DCB or whatever. -The Boss pedals: tif it is so, the colors in the picture are not true. The DL CAN be mistaken but the other has the color of the Super Phaser, bright green, not blue. --Behringer Minimixer, probably a 1604: I was actualli referring to the mixer you have on the top shelf - but I guess is not a Behringer at this point. -Behringer MultiFex, right, it's all the same with the Dualfex/Ultrafex. -The knob on the ASR-X: I told you. You are about to have it serviced, they always end up like that. -I want an extra bonus for the black ASRX in the back! Nobody would have recognized that! However, you do need some major tidy-up, but before that, you probably need to have a desk of some kind designed for the room. Max Ventura, Italy.

Master Zap Posted July 1, 2001 Author Share Posted July 1, 2001 Argo: The colors are fairly accurate its actually rather DARK green tho in reality, not really "bright green". Can only give half point for the DCB coz DCB is a *digital* interface (albeit rolands early pre-MIDI thingy) and CV is *analog*. But its a Kenton indeed so you get an extra point for that. Oh, okay, you meant the mixer up top...hmm the mixer is, uh, a Spirit Folio FX/1 methinks. Hmm. Also, forgot these things, out-of-frame: Under desk: Wami Rack 24 8/i/o soundcard Below the Juno-60: Ensoniq TS-12, my "Master Keyboard" and a Digitech Vocalist (glorious toy!). Also another mixer (no-brand-crap-$50-12-channels-of-noise-and-distorsion) which isnt even connected, a MXR01 reverb (broken) and a Simmons V rack (broken, fried, some moron plugged in 220 volts where 15 volts should have come because another moron made the plugs the same, I use it only for looks... but nowdays I have so much legitimate stuff so wasting 3 unit of racks for "cool knobs" is kinda out http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif ) Funnily, the 2nd ASR-X (Yeah extra score for that) is *ONLY* used as an F/X box, and the red one does drums only, more or less, if even THAT in these days of SONAR. Btw... (to the other guy whos name I forgot): playing the synth up on the wall... puh-leeze ever hear of Midi? http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif /Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Zap Posted July 2, 2001 Author Share Posted July 2, 2001 Yeah the Modular is kinda my Gem along with my Juno-60 and Korg Mono/Poly, only the Modular you can buy new, the other one is more rare http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif I've done the reverse - take a sound through an out, via some external units (in this case a distorsion) and then back in !!
