takeover

(v 0.5.0)

This is a system developed for easy to build interactive installations. It contains a server to send OSC, MIDI and DMX signals, and a frontend for anyone to control these protocols.

It is configured by creating buttons, sliders, touch-areas and other inputs on the server. Those are then grouped into views and be available via browser on any client. The interactions of the client will be send to the server via web-sockets in real time. On the server the received values will be mapped on previously configured DMX, MIDI and DMX values and be sent to hardware and software over those protocols.
