The AVIO Suite is an experimental approach to the concept of a live stage performance. AVIO stands for "Audio Visual Input Output" and the suite is a component (event) based agglomeration of tools to work with Controller, Midi, Audio and Visual data.

Since, AVIO is a plugin collection for Isomer, you'll need a working Isomer instance first.

To install Isomer and create an instance to work with AVIO, follow the quick start tutorial.

The quickest way to get AVIO is through Isomer's builtin store system, but that is not yet completely done, so right now, you'll have to do that manually:

Before installing AVIO, you should furthermore have these packages installed:

• liblo-dev
• libportmidi-dev
• libsndfile1-dev
• python3-pygame
• python3-numpy
• python3-opencv

Once you have set up Isomer correctly use this command line to install it into your default instance/environment:

iso -e current instance install-module -i -s github https://github.com/ri0t/avio

This will (currently) require a frontend rebuild:

iso -e current environment install-frontend

You can use -i INSTANCENAME and -e ENVIRONMENTNAME to specify which instance should be used.

Restart your Isomer instance and log in to it, to access the AVIO modules.

To actually use MIDI data e.g. in Bitwig Studio, you may need to load the alsa midi loopback module:

sudo modprobe snd_virmidi

This should enable four virtual loopback devices. With a tool like patchage, you can now route AVIO's output midi channel to a loopback device, which you can select as MIDI input in BWS.

First, you'll need Isomer set up for development.

Then, manually grab AVIO:

git clone https://github.com/ri0t/avio avio

Then run (probably best done in your Isomer virtual environment):

cd avio
python setup.py develop
