User manual EDIROL CG-8 - BROCHURE

See the sound. Hear the visuals. A visual synthesizer unlike the world has ever seen! The CG-8 "synthesizes" high-resolution 3D motion graphics from still images - all controllable in real-time via innovative controllers designed for inspired live performances. Further enhanced by MIDI and VLINK, the GC-8 allows you to See the sound and Hear the visuals. Grab Motion (for instant recording/ resampling) Trigger (for instant manual retriggering of patches) Sound Control (sets the frequency and level of the incoming audio trigger) Twin D-Beams Auto Switch Modulation Control and Parameter section (controls patch switching via preset speed or sound input) Visual Pad section XY Pad (for initial selection of image, effect, stamp and patch) A variety of Photo/Stamp effects Combine Photo and Stamp effects to generate amazing 3D moving images and text from still images in real-time. Stamps are special images with Alpha Channel information that can be manipulated in incredible ways by the CG-8. A whole new era of "Visual Freestyle" is now possible by combining the infinite number of different Effect, Photo and Stamp possibilities. Photo effects examples Stamp effects examples Features Hundreds of effects and parameters ready to tweak The CG-8 features more than 260 dramatic visual effects. Combine and manipulate effect parameters such as X/Y/Z axis movement, 3D effect creation, Color and Speed controls and hundreds more to create amazing, high-resolution motion graphics from still images easily, quickly and spontaneously. Tactile control surface for total performance control Trigger visuals instantly from one of the 16 performance pads and manipulate them all in real-time using the innovative D-Beam controller, the responsive X/Y Touch Pad and a full complement of tweakable knobs and switches. Up to 128 patches per project Save all the elements and manipulative effects associated with a single image in a patch for instant recall during live performance. With the internal 40 GB hard drive, the CG-8 has room for plenty of projects. Synchronization with Audio input The CG-8 can synchronize and control visuals with an external audio source via the internal mic or line input. Accurate frequency-peak detection allows graphic images to animate themselves to the corresponding beat. Overlay of moving titles and images The CG-8 can combine 2 layers of moving images and title images to create all new 3D visuals MIDI and V-LINK connection With MIDI and V-LINK capability, the CG-8 can be externally controlled by any MIDI equipped device such as a keyboard controller, V-Synth or V-Drums.
