ArKaos Grand VJ Software Out Soon
The once popular ArKaos VJ software is finally starting to show its age and upgrades only take you so far. ArKaos are now working on rebuilding the foundation, and the results, GrandVJ, are due out soon. GrandVJ has a cleaner interface, multi-threaded graphics, and lots of new effects and generators. One differentiating feature in GrandVJ is its “synthesis mode.” This maps sources onto a virtual music keyboard, retaining ArKaos’ place as an easy, instrument-visual-tool.
The generative idea is nice, as well, but even with Flash support. 3L has powerful tools for building 3D graphics in the software, Processing is gaining support among coders, Quartz Composer has native support in software like VDMX for custom patches, to say nothing of Jitter, Flash/Flex, etc. Arkaos’ greatest advantage remains its uncommonly clean interface.
