Has anyone been able to publish a parameter in touchdesigner for taking the vdmx bpm. I have been trying to follow the VDMX documentation and published a float with name “VDMXBPM” but when I load the tox in VDMX, it displays the parameter as a slider vs behind the scenes. I have tried publishing as int and using an in chop too but with no luck. Any pointers would be great!
I have seen it is possible to use /Clock 1/BPM to set for a slider so I have a work around.
Thanks!
I haven’t tried this, but can you also use Ableton Link between VDMX and TouchDesigner? If you have a project + .tox file for us to look at, share it here.
Thanks
Just confirming that Ableton link has done the job. Thank you!
If anyone else finds this, there was a quirk which seems to only happen when the tox is running in touch engine where the Ableton chop was ignored if it wasn’t feed into something else. Just attaching to a beat chop seemed to fix this for me. I also added the “root.time.tempo = tempo” line to the callback to update the tox bpm.
