Description

The Rutt-Etra video synthesizer was co-invented by Steve Rutt & Bill Etra. It essentially was an analog computer for video raster manipulation. Here we have a cheap imitation of it with no feedback effect. Still kinda neat.

In order to make it audio-reactive put an envelope follower and map to different Live number boxes. I usually map to some of the scale number boxes. The reason why there is max and live number boxes is max gives more detailed control but can't be mapped in Live. On a side note, I used the "jit.movie~" to be able to auto-modulate movie files with sound. That is why I said use the envelope follower in the track where Rutt Etra is in--you can bring down the volume and modulate the movie and or live camera feed if you insert the envelope follower in a different audio or midi track. Enjoy.
