Using sound waves to distort video

jimmycbarr53's icon

Hey guys, I am new to Max MSP, as we are using it in university for a project.
My proposal is to use sin/saw waves to distort a visual image.
I have a synthesiser that I want to run through Max MSP, and I want to try and do it through the webcam.

Any pointers and tips would be really appreciated.

I will experiment myself, and post the results here if successful.

Cheers guys.

Here's a way I've used that works pretty well. Use jit.poke~ to put MSP signal into a 1D jit.matrix (continually), and use jit.scanoffset to distort the video image with that matrix.

Cheers for that. I am trying to do this myself, and being a right noob
