Product Description:

WHAT IS MABUSE?

Mabuse is a real-time Audiovisual Composition and Performance tool.

WHO IS MABUSE FOR?

Mabuse is for all electronic music and video makers. Musicians, video artists, performers, VJ's who want to make music, and DJ's who want to make videos in real time.

WHAT MAKES MABUSE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER VJ/DJ SOFTWARE TOOLS?

Mabuse is a fully functional AVJ tool - that's AUDIOVISUAL, not just Audio/Visual. You make music and video, all at once on the same machine in real time.

HOW DO I USE MABUSE?

Just load up your audio and video loops. Mabuse will do the rest, including tempo detection and auto synchronisation. You can then use the onscreen controls or an external MIDI controller to manipulate the video and audio . Read the QuickStart manual learn more about using Mabuse.

What's new in this version:

  • Audio segmentation and tempo detection - slices your beats and guesses the tempo. Load in sections from your mp3 collection and grab your favourite rhythms.
  • Wormhole explorer - Infinite spirals to mess with your mind. Guaranteed.
  • Live input - control audio and video from your guitar, keyboard, even your camera. .
  • Improved MIDI control. Trigger automatically segmented videos over a keyboard immediately, and program the modulators over MIDI /li>
  • Video mixer - Two channels of video with multi-mode crossfader
  • Improved file system for saving and loading patches
  • VST and Freeframe support
  • REWIRE functionality for connecting to Ableton, Logic, Cubase etc.

Mabuse Reviewthe mighty maboosh - Version: 1.5, 3/18/2008 03:44PM PST

Visual Fx are awesome!! I used it with my MIDI controller, and works really well. I do mostly vj'ing gigs, so probably won't use the loop things. I love the way the graphs control the movies too.
Nice one maboosh : )

£65 ($135) for something built in Max/msp? A bit steep I may say :(

This is cool. Its in fact seriously cool. Have been playing with it fro hours, mashing up movies off my drive. It feels slightly klunky when you first use it, but this doesn't seem to matter after using it for a bit. It does tend to slow down, when you've got all the video effects turned on, but overall I'm digging this software, haven't had so much fun in ages!
