Pilot Season – Day 11 – Guidable Components and Maya Callbacks Demo

Season 00 Day011 Stream – Maya Callbacks and Live Guides

from Raf:

Day 11 of the stream, where we introduce guides to the components, a space switch to the pedals, and most offer a demo of Maya Callbacks and how they can be introduced and managed.

This was a very long stream, and it’s sort of divided in two parts. Unintentionally, but luckily, it’s split right down the middle of its duration.

Part 1 lasts until the end of the first hour and it’s about adding live guides to components:

We show how to re-purpose some items we already had sitting around to add a guide mode to the two components we had finalized before, as well as introduce a parent switch/blend to the pedals.

Part 2, from the one hour mark on, is about Maya Callbacks:
