ABOUT JADE
JADE is a software which made environment for interactive performance, making by Timothy Place.
First you had to configure your environment:
• you choose your modules:
inputs, fx and matrix for connecting each "modules"
but in order to that you had to script...
If you want change the configuration during the show, you had to open a new script, and waiting for the building of the environment.
You can choose a jade Module or building your own modules.
For that you had to see Appendix C of the Jade reference.
Each variable of the modules have an address. You can change the variables during the show with the event.
Event are simply a set of instructions. You can integrated time notion in the event and link event action to physical action (press space bar...).
You can chain the event with the "Go".
You can send messages with the network. It's means you had to know all address of all modules.
Help is very good made, and you can easily find address.
My opinion:
Jade seems to be very good for building an environment dedicated to a show. But I think that it's more easy to build an environment by patching that by scripting. Moreover, if you want to change the environment, you had to restart Jade, and it takes few second.
It's very modular, but no very easy to use.
I don't think that it's a good solution for a sound engine dedicated to theatre show.
What are your opinions about this software ???
