Qeve: Free Live Visual – VJ Software, Built in Pd

Qeve is a promising-looking, open-source visual performance tool built in visual patching environment Pure Data (Pd). It was built primarily on Ubuntu Linux but should also run with some adjustment on Mac. (Pd itself runs on Windows, but some of the visual dependencies are not available on that platform. I’d still recommend Linux.)

Aside from being free and open, and a set of patches you can go in and modify, there are some nice-looking features here:

Audiovisual mixing and step sequencing, transitions
Video browsing
Beat sync and master clock
3 layers, supporting multiple formats (video, 3D, photos, text, paint), 3D/2D graphics
Full OpenSoundControl support
Audio analysis
FreeFrame plug-in support
Live video streaming
MIDI configuration
Control with Wiimote, Nintendo DS, and (open source iPhone OSC app) MrMr
The project comes from the development team Estereotips (Italian/English/Spanish site).
