triggering effects via midi/triggering clipz to active layer

Post by corunography »

Hello,

I'm very happy to see the new release with faster loading decks! I'm ready to start using the new version live!

Though, am I missing something really simple? I have a jazzmutant Lemur, and I want to program buttons to trigger effects. How do I assign notes to trigger different freeframe effects?

Also, in version 2.4 it was possible to select an active layer, and have the clip triggered applied to that layer. I can't seem to do that in Resolume 3. Can I have 54 clipz in a deck, and highlight the layer I want it applied to?

Lookin' forward to using this new version on NYE in Baltimore, MD!

Hi Jon
I have a jazzmutant Lemur,
Lucky you ;)
How do I assign notes to trigger different freeframe effects?
It's not possible to trigger effects directly with midi, freeframe or otherwise. But you can map the bypass key (the big B at the top right of the effect) of applied effects to turn them on or off.
Can I have 54 clipz in a deck, and highlight the layer I want it applied to?
Yes. In the composition menu, you can change the Clip Target to 'Active layer'. This will make all clips in your deck trigger to the active layer. You can set this on a per clip basis as well.

Hope that helps.

Hi Joris, thanks so much for the reply!

Man, that is a major drag I can't map effects to midi!

What about with OSC and my Lemur? Can I write a script to trigger specific effects to the composition? Has anyone done this?

Thanks

Oh wow, that is really disappointing if there is no work around!

In version 2.4 I mapped all of the effects to my controller, and would have 20 or so different freeframe effects to choose from within each deck. Is there any equivelent to this in version 3?

thanks!

Yes. Load 20 freeframe (or other) effects to the composition effects tab, and map the bypass key to your Lemur.
