The TouchArt 017 CD features 80 synths and 50 QuickTime loops, in a convenient synth-browser.

TouchArt is the environment for performing your own live visuals using over 80 artworks created by TouchDesigner artists. Some synths play video loops, some are purely 3D - there is a great variety of styles to choose from.

[FREE TOUCH PLAYER AND SYNTHS]

The TouchArt CD contains 80+ synths, 15 of which are exclusive to the TouchArt 017 CD. All synths are easily navigated and customized through a Flash interface.

  
[MAKE YOUR OWN LABELS]

Organize your artworks into your own custom labels. Make as many labels as you need to organize various groups of synths.

 
[INFINITE VARIATIONS]

When compared to an equivalent video clip or VJ loop, Touch synths are more flexible.
Through infinite combinations of slider and button settings along with various timing options, Touch synths are tweaked to your taste - not bound to the static nature of a video clip.

  
[ MAKE YOUR OWN PLAYLISTS ]

TouchArt is a convenient framework for performing live visuals with Touch. You can make your own play list and order the sequence of synths to play.

 

[ OVER 50 VIDEO LOOPS ]
Over 50 beautiful and abstract video loops, ranging from 2 to 8 seconds, are included in the Movies folder on the TouchArt CD.
These can be used as texture movies by some Touch synths, but can also stand independently as video loops outside the Touch environment. 		 
[ FULLY FUNCTIONAL DEMO VERSIONS ]

Fully functional demo versions of TouchMixer and TouchDesigner come with the TouchArt CD - Just log in to get your free 30-day keys.

"The TouchArt CD has a nice interface that lets you install the Touch tools software (Player, Mixer, Designer), browse through all the synths and open them up to play or as a project to pick through and figure out what's going on. Well worth buying." - Rodney Berry, ATR

  

[ SNAPSHOT TOUCH MIXER PRESETS ]

After you upgrade to TouchMixer you can go further in customizing your set by creating your own presets of sweet-spots you discover, and have those presets ready at your fingertips the next time you start TouchMixer.

[ CREATE QUICKTIMES ]

Output snippets of TouchArt from TouchMixer to QuickTime movies, or edit full sequences for your own music video.

  
[ USE YOUR MIDI CONTROLLERS WITH TOUCHMIXER ]
Map your MIDI controllers to TouchMixer sliders and buttons, then operate via your MIDI devices and on-screen controls simultaneously.  
[ RUN DUAL MONITOR WITH TOUCHMIXER ]

Send your 3D camera image to the right monitor in TouchMixer, controlling its placement, cropping and resolution, suitable for flexible video-res and high-res projections.

  
[ EXPLORE AND EDIT SYNTHS WITH DESIGNER ]

You can create new variations of the original synths. Explore and edit with TouchDesigner.
Next time you run a synth, you can run YOUR OWN version. Here's how:
