MD-P1-S Motion Dive Tokyo Performance Package

The MD-P1-S Motion Dive Tokyo Performance Package combines the renowned Motion Dive visual software with the MD-P1 dedicated control console. Connect the console to your laptop via USB, and use its intuitive DJ mixer-like crossfader and knobs to produce a visual performance your audience won't forget.

The MD-P1 controller lets you manipulate video clips like a DJ manipulates audio: switch between channels A and B with the smooth A/B fader, scratch the clips rhythmically with the scratch controls, and use the front-panel knobs to control color-EQ effects and BPM. Select video clips quickly by dragging and dropping them into the A and B output channels, or by using the large dial and channel buttons on the controller. The MD-P1 is powered via USB, so there's no need for an external power supply. Expression that requires continuous, minute changes that are difficult to control using a mouse are handled easily and intuitively by turning knobs.

Motion Dive software lets you play and remix visuals in real time with the music, record your performance, and play it back. MIDI-compatible instruments can be hooked up to the controller unit and you can actually use this input to trigger videos. Images can be automatically generated from note and velocity information input via external MIDI device, such as Roland's V-Drums, synthesizers, and sequencers. Create performances that synchronize music with images for stunning visual effects.

Motion Dive accepts QuickTime movies and most picture formats from digital cameras, as well as AVI and MPEG files, and Macromedia Flash content. To get started right away, Motion Dive comes with a video library created by top professional VJ artists. Motion Dive is compatible with Mac (OSX) and PC (XP/2000).
