Gephex is a software designed for video jockeys that is built with a modular architecture to ensure flexibility and customization in producing engaging visuals.
I recently had the chance to test out Gephex, a fantastic video jockey software that offers a modular and customizable experience for users. One of the standout features of Gephex is the ability to choose base visuals from a variety of sources, including video files and cameras. From there, users can modify their visuals with filters and mixers, each of which has various parameters that can be controlled by signal-generators, input devices like joysticks, sound cards, or midi-devices.
What's even more impressive about Gephex is its multi-platform compatibility. This software runs flawlessly on GNU/Linux, Win32, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD, with the bonus of a client server architecture. Not only that, but the effect engine remains entirely independent from the user interface, which can be de- and attached at runtime. Additionally, all effects and media streams are extendable by plugins.
Speaking of plugins, Gephex is easily extendable thanks to its plugin system. Users can customize their experience with plugins that enhance the software in new and exciting ways.
In terms of key features, Gephex offers everything from free and cross-platform support to MIDI/joystick input and audio support (capturing from sound card, simple beat detection, simple mixing, audio synthesis, audio output). The software is even written in C++, which is sure to please programmers.
Overall, I found Gephex to be a powerful video jockey software that delivers on all fronts. The improved GUI and Mac OS X support in the latest release only add to its impressive feature set. If you're in need of a high-quality video jockey software that can handle it all, you won't be disappointed with Gephex.
