Hi there (my location is Austria, sorry for eventually bad english).
I am new to this forum, but not new to milkdrop. I have been using milkdrop for many years, some time ago I discovered the possibility of editing presets and combining them to new creations.
Another of my tech based hobbies is creating music tunes with LMMS (freeware DAW program). Two years ago I began to combine LMMS music with milkrdrop visuals into videos, just for use in the private area.
A recently added MIDI-keyboard resulted in increased fun and (imo) improved quality. So I decided to upload my 3 latest videos on YouTube. Aside from taking the chance to present them here within the milkdrop community, I have one concrete question:
My "self made" presets are all made by combinations of function-modules taken from existing presets. Then a lot of parameters are edited and finetuned. Often this process is repeated several times until the result appears to me as unique. In the end not even I myself can find out exactly on which "official" presets the new thing is based.
Now, since I started uploading, I am not sure from which point a preset can be called "created" and not just "edited" (affects the description in the YT-channel). So I would be interested in some opinions about the "originality" of my effects.
As a sidenote: I would never share a .milk file and call it "my creation" cause it is full of source code which was not written by me. But from a video this source code cannot be reengineered cause it is not there, so (imo) it is all about the visual impression.

Finally, it is very good to see that there is still a living community and milkdrop has not been fully replaced by derivates like projectM. Keep up the good work !
