Operatour and Resolume

A visual that listens, beside the clip set. Resolume runs the clubs and plays clips better than anything here. What it cannot do is run a visual that hears the room - Operatour does, live, picked or written, on a screen any rig will take.

What Operatour gives you that Resolume does not

  • A browser source. Resolume's sources are generative, capture devices, NDI, Spout, Syphon and the video router. A web page gets in through an external capture tool, and that chain has struggled with WebGL since 2017. Operatour runs the page itself.
  • Live code, not a bounce. A sketch.glsl or sketch.js plays as a layer and reacts to the room. Bounced to a video file, the same work has decided what it will do before the night starts.
  • The audio inside the sketch, under names that never change.
  • £199 once, or free. Not €799.

What Resolume gives you that Operatour does not

  • Clips, played better. If your set is clips, Resolume plays them better than Operatour does, and it is not close.
  • Mapping, slicing, and a mature cue workflow.
  • A content ecosystem and a thousand nights behind it.

Which one
Your set is code you wrote, and you want it live rather than bounced Operatour
You want the room to reach the artwork itself Operatour
Your set is clips Resolume
You need mapping, slicing, and a mature cue workflow Resolume

Most people who want both run both: Resolume for the clip set and the mapping, Operatour for the live code. Operatour's output is a screen, and every rig takes a screen.
