EYESY_OS_RasPi

The operating system for the EYESY video synthesizer device - remixed.

Adaptation of the Critter&Guitari Eyesy video synth in order to run it on a regular Raspberry Pi Eyesy Manual : https://www.critterandguitari.com/manual?m=EYESY_Manual#eyesy%E2%84%A2-user-manual

Installation :

git clone https://github.com/okyeron/EYESY_OS_for_RasPi.git Eyesy
cd Eyesy
./deploy.sh

Usage:

• Connect a display to the first hdmi out

• Boot up your RasPi

• (Via SSH) Run the ~/Eyesy/start_web.sh script to start the web services. Then you can start/stop the video engine from the web editor - see below.

  In order to control Eyesy you will have to use the TouchOSC Android (or iOS) app (see below) or a MIDI controller.

  You will also need a sound card. Sound card setup is beyond the scope of this readme and will depend on your specific device.

  Note - EYESY is looking for your sound card to be the "default" device.

Control:

Control via TouchOSC:

• Download and install the TouchOSC app for your iOS or Android device (it is not free, I've been looking for free/open-source alternatives, please let me know if you know one; nevertheless, this app is well developed and it's also nice to suppot this kind of effort I believe)
• Download the fitting TouchOSC template from here to your device and import it via the app (in Layout).
• In the OSC setting of the app set Host to the ip adress of your pi (your device and your pi must be on the same network)
• Set the outgoing port to 4000 and ingoing to 4001
• You're Done!

Control via midi in messages (should be plug and play):

Midi CC	21,22,23,24	25	26	27	28	29	30	31	32	33	34	35
Control	Mode Params	Background Color	Scene selection	Save or delete (long hold)	Auto Clear Toggle	Mode Selection	Take Screenshot	Info Disp	Send Trigger	ShiftKey	Input Gain	Trigger Source

Web Editor

The web editor lets you edit the pygame scripts that generate the visuals on the fly. It should be accessible at http://raspberrypi.local:8080/ (or IP:8080 where IP is the current ip adress of your Pi)

See the Eyesy manual for more details on using the web editor.

Uninstall:

Simply run: ./uninstall.sh

Rem:

• You can use the stereo input in your Modes, in Python there are accessible via etc.audio_left and etc.audio_right in the scripts, etc.audio_in remains L+R
