Onyx, Free + Open-Source Flash VJ App, Adds Features and Mac Support

by Peter Kirn

Onyx, the lovely open and extensible Flash-based live visualist tool, now runs on Mac as well as Windows. (Next stop, since it’s built in Flash: Linux.) And the latest build has some great new features:

  1. Snap to tempo, tempo-synced filters
  2. Build your own TempoFilters
  3. Mutable bitmap filters
  4. “Mix files” for saving multiple layers and filters
  5. MP3 visualizations

Lots of new UI tweaks and keyboard shortcuts, as well, plus a home on Google Code. Add that to great features like the ability to use flickr streams.

Sounds like a must-install, even if as a secondary / backup visual tool.

    That demo is from mute vj, not from onyx :)

    Ah, great moments in editing. I have to watch what I'm doing.

    Anyway, I really prefer the direction Onyx is going … good stuff! Now if only there were a better way to embed Flash apps on Mac, as with ActiveX on Windows … hmmm …

    Still haven't made tutorials. Those will come out this week with the 3.0.26 (apollo support).

    We got a great contribution from Tim, who implemented finger gesturepad support, (which we will use for general midi as well)

    I'll ping you when it goes up.

    thanks for your support peter, you rock!
