Main Features

An instrument that lets you present images in real time
You can generate images in real time, and use controllers such as the knobs, D Beam, and XY pad to freely
perform the images.
Diverse effects
The CG-8 provides a wide range of visual effect patterns that you can use to easily create expressive
images.
Load images to create a variety of expressions
Via the card adaptor, you can load images you've created with a digital camera or computer, and easily
give them an entirely different character. A wide range of expressive transformations can be created by
applying effects to the images you load.
Combine two image layers
You can combine two layers (background and foreground); for example, by adding a logo or other
foreground to a background image to project your message effectively.
Use music to control images
The CG-8 can analyze sound from its LINE IN jacks or internal mic, and apply a visual effect accordingly.
Peaks in the sound can be detected and used to create motion in the images or to switch patches.
Control via MIDI
In addition to controlling images via V-LINK as part of a musical performance, you can also control the
CG-8's images via MIDI from a sequencer.
