Tools

The Tools section contains a collection of plug-ins, each designed with different functionalities for various purposes.

Video Route

Use the Video Route plug-in to stream video from external applications (such as Resolume, VDMX, and TouchDesigner) into the SenSei scene via Spout or Syphon.

Place this plug-in in front of a SenSei plug-in on a track to send video to it. Most SenSei plug-ins can receive video and manipulate it in creative ways.

Macro Mapper + Macro Mapper MIDI

Use the Macro Mapper to map plug-in groups, added to the Live Set, on the fly to a MIDI controller.

A practical workflow in SenSei is to create groups of plug-ins that form a compelling scene and save these groups or scenes to the User Library for later use in a live show. The Macro Mapper automatically maps a MIDI controller to the macro parameters of the group when it is dragged into the Live set.

To set this up:
1. Add a Macro Mapper to an audio/MIDI track.
2. Map its dials to your MIDI controller.
3. When you add a plug-in group behind the Macro Mapper, it will automatically connect to the group’s macro parameters, allowing the MIDI controller to control them directly.
