A new dialect

[unchained]

Many thanks to Krash for letting me know that user-created variables ARE in fact persistant across frames. Thanks to this fact, I now present a preset in which not only the pace/ammount of the effect is beat driven, but the type of effect itself changes based on what the beat's doing.

I'm just getting started with this code, but here's a modification of my "perverted dialect" preset as a teaser.

I'm going to look at that "bass_thresh" code from the shift preset, and see if I can't come up with something more like real BPM detection. For now, those who LIKE jittery presets feel free to change every occurance of 1.3 above to .9 or so.

Forgot the zip.

Certainly one of the most original and dynamic sequences I've seen yet. It's like three presets in one. The waffle orb (or something) effect is also very intriguing. However, I must say that, to me, the preset seems a little... unsure of itself most of the time. While the quality of it is very nice, the fluidity is somewhat lacking. It tries to react to so many variables that sometimes you get a very erratic and unpleasant effect. With some songs you might see a waffle for a fraction of a second then suddenly the screen begins to vibrate violently like it was trying to take back what it last displayed as if it were a mistake. Just my thoughts.

I know what you mean about the wobble, and I've hopefully got it licked. Here's something new, and hopefully a little more fluid.

Once Again Deadly is very good. SM
