Mate. Literally never ever comment on youtube but i just have to say that i can not thank you enough for putting this series of videos together. You. Are. The.Man. As a part time motion graphics designer, discovering that this is how Touch Designer works has absolutely blown my mind, it dovetails perfectly with my skillset and completely opens the doors to lighting design in a way i never imagined. Ill be setting out to do a full PETAL v2 build as soon as i can and ill be following your videos with baited breath. Stay inspired man.
This is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. This takes a lot of time to create, and you've made it so concise + clear to follow...really appreciate it. I'm attempting to create this with the dig octa board and touch designer, all the steps have been easy to follow, but the addressable LEDs don't react to the touch designer project when I press play. I've successfully updated the sync preferences to Art-Net, but still no response when I turn on touch designer. Is there a modification I need to make in the DMX output address in order to successfully send the data to the dig octa board? Thanks!
Thank you so much to you and your team for making this template and tutorial videos. I've been pulling my hair out for years figuring out what I need to make music sequences for my custom LED fixtures
It looks even cooler now seeing the source video with it! This looks like it was lip-synced (bass-synced? 😏) and I'm personally mostly interested in live applications - preferably without having to constantly use an in-ear metronome. So basically Touch Designer following a midi-clock, and responding to additional midi messages during the song to follow along
Yeah this specific method works best for someone doing a music video or playing shows to specific tracks but we are experimenting now with using midi clocks and sound active settings for more of an off the cuff live scenario!
I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to provide all the information about your creations. You are incredibly gracious and humble. I am planning on building one of your rigs but I do have a question. I have not worked with addressable COB strips before. What steps did you have to take to set them to 17 pixels per channel? I cannot find info that explains how COB leds are addressed Thank you
Thanks so much for the comment! The cob strips operate the exact same way as regular addressable LEDs, it's just a bit harder to discern the different segments from a glance than it is on the standard 5050 style leds, but it's all done in WLED. I believe I go through the process on my V2 rig video over on the Super Valid Designs channel
14:15 Very interesting to see how to animate these pixel lights (maybe some Pavotube XR I assume ?), thx! I so far only treat them as one pixel for simplicity of animation, which allows me to animate them right in my DAW (reaper), but I now know where to look for if I want to take advantage of multiple pixels per light.
Appreciate the comment! These lights are custom made modular rig (you can see the full rig over on my personal channel Super Valid Designs). I started the same, programming single pixels per tube but going full pixel capability has definitely opened up so many cool programming ideas!
Firstly this is beyond amazing and awesome!! But Could we please have a follow up video tutorial and template for running full shows/set list on Ableton and how that would work with this rig?
Thanks you for your videos ! There is a basic thing I can't understand. You seam tu use a 24 chanels dmx to your led strips. So each led strip use 3 chanels (RGB). How can you tell the DMX decoder that there is 17 pixel in it ? I can only control the entire tube and I don't understand how to divide the led strip in 17 pixel as you did. Do you have adressable led strip ? If so, each one of the 8 port of your DMX decoder send more than 3 chanels information ? Can you explain what information to send to the DMX decoder ? Thanks you a lot !
Thanks for the comment! So the rig in this video is my new V2 rig that I released a video about back in February on the Super Valid Designs youtube channel. This V2 rig does use addressable LED strips and a completely new brain instead of the DMX decoder that I used in the original rig
I'm working on a fixture video now, and we are planning on releasing some fixtures in the near future. The tubes have been tough to source, hence the hold up, unfortunately

Is there a way to run this without having to bring a laptop to my shows?
This is amazing!!! Exactly what we're looking for! Thanks for sharing such useful insights and instructions!! Much appreciated!

Got the discord notification. Didn’t see the full video right now but it is really interesting so far!

WoW def gonna try this out..tnxs for the insides, just learning TD this is super interesting.

Any updates on availability or how to make the light tube's etc?

Yooo this is 🔥
