A Dirtywave M8 driven Unreal Engine reactive visualizer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xGTY3H1OBs&t

Hey there everyone,

Just wanted to share another reactive visualizer I made in Unreal Engine utilizing the Dirtywave M8 synthesizer/tracker. I took the stems from the M8 session and converted the audio into MIDI data with Ableton, then used a MIDI to OSC MaxForLive device which allowed me to control the arcade machines, background lights and Niagara effect that spawns emissive cubes in tandem with the square-wave arpeggio part.

You can find the free Unreal Engine blueprints and MaxForLive devices that I used on my GitHub page if you happen to be interested, that way you could build your own visualizers.

If anyone has questions or suggestions please feel free to let me know. 

Thanks!

I need to sit down and figure this tool out. I’ve see it before I think, but I don’t use those programs. My poor m8 hasn’t been touched lately. Perhaps time to dust it off.
