VJamm is far more than a toy. It’s a lean mean VJ machine, a software instrument which allows you to play 16 audiovisual samples and collate them together to make your own video remixes – in essence triggering and sequencing video loops in a way analogous to audio sequencing. The software has proved popular in a range of contexts, including experimental electronic scenes all over the place. The net-friendly VJamm 1.0 demo with lo-res clips can be downloaded here.

VJamm Pro 2.5 is a step up, however, offering broadcast resolution video, support for multiple displays, and full “polyphony”, where all 16 clips can be positioned freely around the screen & any number can be playing at once. Size and aspect ratio can be adjusted for each clip, and a midi XY controller like the Korg Kaoss Pad can be used to move clips around the screen in realtime. Each of the 16 video layers can have a luma key transparency level. All parameters are MIDI controllable for live use or sequencing. On the VJamm Downloads Page you can get the latest demo version.
