Does anybody remember the movie, Tron, where a man interacted within a computer program and made reality change as a result. This new software is something along those lines - combining music, art and technology to create something new and different.
TronMe is a new media player, and if that was all there was to it, this would be a really short article. It is a free, downloadable software that lets users remix and control their favorite tunes, record interactive videos and combine each to make something better than each individual piece. With the latest release, there is a new auto play function which turns TronMe into a home music system that allows users to automatically listen to music tracks based on something called an .ivs file along with the info gathered and analyzed from the webcam and coming out with absolutely stunning results.
Everyone Is A Musical Artist With TronMe
Users can regain controls quickly and easily in order to add new instruments or sections, but it seems hardly necessary if you can move to the music and watch what happens. You can even share it online. While the software is new, 100+ new users are signing up on a daily basis, setting up to play their own MP3 tracks and making art with the interactive add-on format called .ivs. With the TronMe player, your tracks will come alive.
Patrick Levy Rosenthal, CEO - On TronMe
The 3D Solar CEO, Patrick Levy Rosenthal had this to say about TronMe: "If an mp3 file is a gem stone, then to convert it to interactive is to add loops to it so you can see new dimensions shining from it. Every time your track is remixed it is like watching your stone from a different angle showing endless possibilities, bursts of light and color."
Quick & Easy Installation
Installation is quick and simple and the software, once installed, lists all of the MP3 tracks found on a user's PC. In addition, if other TronMe artists have already found interesting musical loops in a specific song, the software will inform you about it. You can decide if you want to use the same loops for your tracks in the TronMe player.
Subscriptions Available At a Nominal Fee
Subscriptions cost a small monthly fee which gets you access to a lot of new versions of TronMe material which is uploaded on a daily basis. If you love music and art, this combination will rock your music world and inspire artistic creations that you can share with other like-minded individuals.
TronMe is currently becoming a hit internationally with it coming to the United States and taking it by storm. As users join and convert their MP3s into tracks and loops or Trons, the higher the user's score. With a higher score comes more tools to use, as well as access to special effects and songs. Overall, TronMe is another fun, interactive way to interact with your computer and the social networking community at large.

- Patrick Rosenthal Intervied by Andrea Leonelli from www.tronme.com
Transcript: AL: Hi Patrick, great to have you on the show. First of all, would you like to explain briefly to our listeners what TronMe is and how it relates you the label3D Solar, your parallel venture?
PR: TronMe is a new generation of media player that will play your favorite tracks like never before. Whenever you use your Ipod or windows media player, your mp3 will always play the same way, you can quickly go off a song when you know every single note backwards! Our goal is simply to experience a new way of listening to the music and in addition you are going to be able to show it to the world.
Tronme will create a different version of your track each time you play it, like a live version or a new remix of your track, and willcreate a unique video to go with it. So you will be able to savea video clip with your new mix and unique video, I’m sure Andrea you have special songs that remindyou of special times and memories, now you will be able to remember theses images forever as each song will have his own dedicate video clip to play iton your ipod.
AL: Let’s talk about the visual side of things, how does the software interact with the videos you record and with the music?
PR: The player has more than 900 visual effects that interact with the music and your image. Think about the combinations, 1 mp3generating more than3 million if not 3 billion possible remixes,ehanced with more than 900 interactive visual effects. All the visual effects you apply to your tracks will follow the beats of the tracks; that means that they will perfectly adapt themselves to the song’s tempo.
Additionally they will be mixed with your own images also based on the beat and measures of the track. Images shown during the performance are most of time created by the music. So as you create a unique song performance, the accompanying visual effects will be also unique.
AL: I understand that there are three types or levels of IVS files, could you explain what the difference it?
PR: Let’s start with IVS1 the fully interactive format, this allows you to add or remove instruments, vocals and much more from the track, and what’s more important, to do it in a dynamic way. This is possible because the IVS format has control over every part of the song: the individual instrumental as well as the segments (introduction, verse, bridge, chorus, etc.). All these components can be handled as blocks or separated entities, so you can mix or rearrange them according to your style and personality, giving you endless possibilities to mix, remix or create a totally new and unique performance.
IVS 2 are the normal interactive files. Its advantage is that any MP3 format song can be converted into an interactive file by 3D Solar label after the agreement of the original label and without changing the original recording. Although you can’t play with the instruments, in basic interactive mode you can play with the segments parts and remix them to the infinity or even let the player auto remix your track.
And Finally the IVS3: the IVS3 is also a basic interactive mode so similar to the ivs2 but because it uses your local mp3 you don’teven needto buy the mp3 embedded inside the ivs2from our music store, we offer this solutions for all mp3 that we are not yet authorized to sell.
AL: How did you manage to have artists provide you with the multitrack recordings of their songs required for iVS1 files?
PR: To have this level of interactivity we had to sign special contracts directly with artists and to do so we had to create our own label 3D Solar uk Ltd. When an artist signs with us they get free accessto a dedicated account on our server where they can upload and easily create theirtrack in ivs format, then the track will be automatically promoted and featured on our music store TronMe.com.
AL: What’s your background and how did you come up with this idea?
PR: Well I love technology andI love to create products that will make people dream, in 2003 I created a 3 dimensional interactive screen for witch I won a price backed by the European Council of Applied Sciences. For the very first time, computer userswere able to view 3D objects hovering a 13 inches away from our prototype that rotate 180 degrees without wearing glasses, andthe stand-out feature is the way userswere able to manipulate the virtual image directly with their hands as they would a real object. But the technology involved too much investment to be easily setup by a start up company. So I decided towork onpure software solutions like TronMe.
AL: Do you consider the software TronMe as the ultimate use for IVS files or do you see it more as a promotional tool for IVS? In other words, do you foresee IVS permeating other applications other than your own?
PR: Well I’m sure we will have hardware manufacturer interested with this new format, it could be for them a wayto add areally new functionality that would make the difference withcompetitors,so yesI think a few selected mp3 players will be available with ivs inside soon.
AL: How has the artists and the users reception been for this new concept and software?
PR: People first are curious and after they get usedto it they simply can’t stop using it especially with tracks they really love. People alwaysneed more interactive products.
AL: Are you planning on taking TronMe out of beta anytime soon?
PR: Well I would say TronMe is even not yet beta but alpha and we should be out of the Alpha in a month or so, beta means out of bug and as we add new things all the time it will take time before we get stable.
AL: What is the business model for IVS and TronMe? Is the software going to continue to be freewhile you will be charging for IVS formatted tracks or will you be charging for the software as well?
PR: No the player will be always free to use, while we will charge for iVS1 and IVS2 files. The ivs1 fully interactive format will be a little bit more expensive than an mp3 andthe ivs2 will be sold at the same price as the equivalent mp3. The model for the ivs3 files is different because you don’t pay per track.
After installation, the software will list all of the mp3s on each user’s PC and willshow if other other TronMe users have already found interesting loops in a particular song. If the user wants to use these pre-tagged sons he can subscribe for a small monthly fee and also be able to access plenty of new versions uploaded daily. But the player can also be used for free! To do this a user needs to convert his own tracks into the interactive format and publish the position of the seamless loops he found. The player is then able to create remixes of these tracks for free and the new version is made available for other users to use.
The player comes with free visual tools when you install it but you can buy additional effects to enhance your remixes.
AL: While using the program I noticed that it’s possible to have access to free tracks and effects, how does that work?
PR: As a TronMe user you can add a vote widget (vote button), which can be placed close to your video and allows you to get “Trons”. Later, you can see your score in the player based on the number ofTrons you got. The more Trons you get the higher your score growsand this will result in you having access to new tracks and visual effects for free, so if you contributeby publishing a lot of successful ivs3 tracks you will get plenty of Trons and you will be able to use the player for free.
AL: Do you want tokeep IVS exclusive to the3d Solar label or have you approached others, such as majors for example for licensing?
PR: No IVS2 and IVS1 is open to all artists and Labels and Majors that would be interested to have their own tracksin this new format, IVS1usually can’t be used for old tracks because we need the agreement of too many different parties like labels, artist, composer etc, so we target new tracks. IVS1 makes an artist think about the music in 3 dimensions and not in 2 like before. IVS2 is perfect for labels as we do not alter the original recording nor do wecreatea unique remix for that track, sothe label can let us sell the track without prior permission from artist etc.
AL: Multitracks are becoming more and more important as RockBand and Guitar hero and various other music-related games all make use of them one way or another. The problem is that no-one has figured out a simple inter-operable format for these large files. Are you hoping IVS will be the answer to this hole in the market?
PR: Well it’s too early to say;the big advantage of the IVS2 and 3 is thatwe will be able to convert 90% of the existingmusic into interactive music.
AL: Right now the software is windows-only, are you working on a version for Mac or Iphone?
PR: Well we plan to create a light version of the player for the IPod and iphone, imagine each time you shake your iphone it willshake your music creating aunique remix and will also do a unique video clip to go with it.
AL: Finally, any developments on the horizon or news that you’d like to share with Digital Music Trends?
PR: Plenty of new ideas, for example the TronMe player is already seen as a camera by all windows software - so you can show your friends what you are doing insoftware like Messenger or Skype. We are planning to use this in order to let users perform unique duets and remixes together during a video chat. We are working on other projects -but these will be for the next interview Andrea.

New Media Player Auto Re-Mixes MP3s and Adds Video For Free
London, UK, 9/06/2009 – Millions of mp3 tracks are about to become interactive through the new generation of media players and the .ivs audio format.3D Solar unveils its plans for mp3 conversion.
These interactive music tracks will be produced using the TronMe software from 3D Solar UK Ltd and will release the potential for millions of new remixes of each song.
TronMe media player (http://www.tronme.com) is free, downloadable software that allows users to control and remix their favorite music and record an interactive music video to go with it. The latest release of the player provides an auto play function. This turns the TronMe player into a home music system. Once the player is open, users don’t need to press anything their music plays automatically and the software will remix the tracks based on the .ivs file and the information analyzed from the webcam with stunning visual effects. Control can be regained at any time, to select new instruments or parts, but it is not necessary. Users can move to the music and see what happens then share it online.
The software is growing well with a hundred new users each day. With this new technology, users are able to play their own favorite mp3 tracks with an interactive add-on file format known as .ivs. These tracks can then be used on the TronMe player.
Patrick Levy Rosenthal, 3D Solar’s CEO said, “If an mp3 file is a gem stone, then to convert it to interactive is to add loops to it so you can see new dimensions shining from it. Every time your track is remixed it is like watching your stone from a different angle showing endless possibilities, bursts of light and color.”
After installation, the software will list all of the mp3 tracks on each user’s PC and will provide notice if other users already found interesting loops in a particular song. Therefore, users can decide to use the same loops for their tracks with the TronMe player. If the user subscribe with a small monthly fee he can use all of these along with plenty of new versions uploaded daily. The player can also be used for free! To do this a user needs to convert his own tracks into the interactive format and publish the position of the seamless loops he found in his tracks for other users to try and vote for.
The most common scenario, as the library starts to grow, will be that the interactive track does not already appear on the TronMe server. In this case, users will be asked to go ahead and convert the music by clicking on the icon next to the title of the song. This will open a new interface, like that of
a wave editor, where the bars and measures of the track will be visible. The goal now is to detect a seamless loop within the music that can be successfully sampled. A seamless loop must have a clean start and finish it must not have any unexpected noises to detract from the loop itself. The software does help in finding the loops they are often found in measures 2,4,6,8 and 16.
Once the user is happy with the result, loop positions can then be submitted and published on the TronMe server. The player is then able to create remixes of this track for free. The new version is made available for other users to use. On the beta version of TronMe only one solution of each track is available however; soon, there will be up to ten versions of each track. 3D Solar exists to provide a place where people can collectively determine the value of each version. These ten will be split into two halves. The top five will be permanently on the site, ranked by the votes they received. Once something new is submitted, other people will see it and vote for the version they like best. If a user’s submission is excellent and receives enough votes, it is promoted to the top five.
It goes without saying that the first users to convert the most popular tracks will reap the benefits; each time the track is used the user who converted it will receive “Trons” and these will be divided proportionally between those who converted the top five versions of that track. The more Trons a user receives, the higher his score, and with a higher score comes free tools, special effects and songs!

TronMe Opens The Door For Visual Art
LONDON – 6 March 2009 - TronMe (www.tronme.com) has decided to create a collection comprising 1000 of the most beautiful examples of visual music AVS for use with the Interactive MP3 Music player TronMe.
AVS visual effects will be free to you as your score advances within the player. This score can be increased by converting your mp3 tracks into interactive mp3 or by getting votes for your performances. If you are lazy, don’t worry, the effects will also be available for you to buy.
Interactivity is the future of music.
TronMe software is a patented multimedia player, developed by 3D Solar, using a proprietary interactive video and interactive music audio format, IVS. It first appeared in the United Kingdom in early 2006.
The TronMe player allows many changes to be made to both the track and video; the different segments of the song; the verse, chorus, bridge, introduction are all broken down and the different instruments used on each track are also separated. Each track is therefore divided into bits and the user takes these building blocks to create their own unique live video mix of the song.
Visual music, sometimes called "colour music", refers to the use of musical structures in visual imagery. It also refers to methods or devices which can translate sounds or music into a related visual presentation.
Advanced Visualization Studio (AVS), is a music visualization plugin for Winamp designed by Justin Frankel, the creator of Winamp. Its highly customizable design allows users to create their own visualization effects or presets. Several art groups of preset authors exist as well: AVSociety and DeviantArt. Some members of the AVS community see AVS as a new art form, a method of free expression through a means not normally associated with art.

Music is Evolving as mp3 Turns Fully Interactive
1/1/2009
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--10 million mp3 tracks will become interactive in the coming months through the new generation of Windows Media Player and the IVS audio format.
These tracks will be converted using the TronMe software, from 3Dsolar and will release the potential for 15 million new remixes of each song.
TronMe (www.tronme.com) is downloadable software that allows you to control and remix your favorite music and record your own interactive visual music video to go with it. This can then be shared with the world via YouTube, broadcast via Skype or MSN, or added onto Facebook or MySpace via a widget. If you’re voted one of the most accomplished videos then you can win prizes and rewards such as free tracks or tools to use on your player.
The beta software is going from strength to strength, clocking up a hundred new users daily and, with new technology, all these users will soon be able to convert their favorite mp3 tracks into an interactive format. This new version of the track, known as .IVS, can then be used on the TronMe player.
Patrick Levy Rosenthal 3D Solar CEO said, “We expect to convert around 10 million mp3 tracks into interactive format, this will lead to a major revolution in the way people enjoy music. Each converted track has the potential for around 15 million new remixes - that's a lot of new versions for a single file roughly the same size and price as the mp3.”
Almost any track can be converted easily with the help of the player and, as more tracks are converted, the choice of songs will grow quickly.
The last release of the player allows an auto play function to operate. This turns the TronMe player into a home music system. Once the player is open, the user doesn’t need to press anything, their music plays automatically and the software will remix the tracks based on the information analyzed from the webcam with stunning visual effects. Control can be regained at any time, to select new instruments or parts, but it is not necessary. Users can move to the music and see what happens - then share it online.
Interactivity is the future of music.

TronMe | New Technology Provides Even More Ways for the Consumer to Enjoy Music
Thanks to 3D Solar UK Ltd, music is now a more versatile form of entertainment than ever before. Gone are the days of just listening to our favorite songs; with the new TronMe software coming soon, consumers can really get to the nuts and bolts of their favorite tracks and stamp their own unique identity on any song.
San Francisco, CA, April 15, 2008 --(DMO)-- Using TronMe software anyone can mix and perform their favorites live on MSN, Skype, or even YouTube; it's a whole new level of interactivity that is certain to appeal to wannabe performers of all ages. This fresh technology works with a new audio format - .IVS Each song is separated into different tracks or building blocks and the software mixes these back together based on the movements detected through the computer's web cam to provide an exclusive mix every time.The amazing part of this technology lies in its simplicity to use.
TronMe is controlled purely from the webcam or the mouse and, from the movements detected, the program creates a unique mix of the track. The player has total control of how the mix sounds. The direction of the movement determines which instrument plays. Stay in the middle and they are equal, move higher and the percussion is dominant. There is no end to the options and possibilities. Of course, no one ever moves the exact same way twice and so each time a song is played an entirely new mix is created. There are also plenty of effects to add onto the video to make the end result exceptionally professional.TronMe is compatible with MSN, Skype and, of course, the home video recorder; the performance can be made all the more exciting by an audience or it can just be recorded in mp3 or avi to be watched back later.
TronMe is brand new, it's in the starting blocks and ready to explode into the home entertainment arena.Buyers will choose songs from their website, in the .IVS format for use with their TronMe software. If your tracks are among their favorites then they will be looking to buy them. Make sure your tracks are there - don't miss the opportunity to jump on board the IVS revolution.
