The documents that come with it (in the download) are pretty straightforward and search on VJ forums as a guy used to put loads of turorial vids up.

The docs aren't good for how to use your content just how to get it to layer up nicelyand what all the effects do. Once you've got the basics and know how to map your midi controller to the various paramater it's easy.

one of the demo clips of the skate boarder with jumping over a little ramp or bar scratches quite well when he is in mid air!!!!

Also dont discount NUVJfor a more DJ orientated interface I had a good play with it at PLASA in september and the control is dead intuitive.

Worth demoing them both,

Also resolume  ( www.resolume.com ) for PC about the same price and has lots of easy controls which make a good show without having to watch over it every second.

I did a day this year mainly looking for LED architectural lighting to install at church as part of a complete rewire but checked out pretty much everything including the hippotiser serious bit of visual kit.

I am currently based in Middlesbrough UK.

Interesting story about the coldcut set at greenbelt.

They got all set up and their Edirol v4 (or maybe one of them) wasn't working.  afew frantic calls to Sue and Malcolm of Visions alt worship and malcolm was whisked from the beer tent to the alt worship venue with one of their techies to look at there and then on to main stage with their V4. The set wouldn't have been the same without it. I'm using it next sunday!

Arkaos is cool. I run it manually and from Abelton with Midi. Midi from Ableton also runs my light scenes on my DMX board. I also run Midi from Ableton to DMX to my relay pack to turn on fans to blow fog around and stuff. This is all to much fun! Any one care to trade original video clips?

man, I need to learn this then, almost makes it sound like I don't need my dad anymore to run the lights.  But I'm interested in the video.

Am interested in the video too:

AN UPDATE:

Ok this is where i have got to: I have started setting up different patches and plan to have specific patches for certain tracks as well as more general ones to play along side other parts of a set. Basically where i dont have something set up for specific tracks.

I had a look at the rewire function but at the moment am going for a midi keyboard and setting arkaos to automation based on the audio.  So this will mean that in between mixing on ableton i can play on my midi keyboard and controll the visuals. When i am busy mxing with ablton. Arkaos will take over.

One question i have now is wether i could set arkaos up on my powerbook and get the automation to respond to the audio in feed from my mixer? Any ideas if this is possible?

I plan to progress to syncing the midi from abelton Jeremy k style and richie h style but not yet.

To get the powerbook running arkaos to respond to the music just feed the audio in to the laptop and set on auto it has a from audio button in the automation screen. The box at the bottom shows a waveform too.

Thought I'd post a couple of links to a gig I did with Visions church in york it's called transendence and is in the crypt of york minster. The guy leaning over the laptop in the first link is me running Arkaos I am controling the screens with pictures on rather than the ones that have the liturgy (words everyone speaks). At the start of the first clip the screen I rum is in 3 sections saying York minster, Visions and transendence.

1) http://www.visions-york.org/

This is more of the same

2) http://web.mac.com/malcolm.wallace/iWeb/Visions%20webcasts/Webcasts/D105D571-67F3-4072-98BA-3A946BCFF4AF.html
