"Next Column" trigger/button in Arena

Post by karamasov »

I´d love to have a "Next Column" trigger in Arena. Just a big button in the middle of the interface, with the word "GO!" on, that triggers the next column. Maybe there´s room for a nice green button to the right of the BPM monitor?
I haven´t found this functionality, but my apologies if it´s there and I have overlooked it.

A "go" button would make setup and programming so much easier, and make life awesome for whoever has to run the cues, if they have to trigger from the keyboard, or from a single MIDI button.

Also - I´m +1 for a MIDI or keyboard timeline scroller functionality.

Both 'trigger next column', and a general 'go button' have both been discussed in the forum before. We did some research in to it, but at the moment we are more focused on bug fixing and updates to the Advanced Output.

I would loooooove a 'trigger next column' button as well. Waiting for it for years now. For theatre plays (which are, opposed to club shows, very linear), I still have to use Qlab or Isadora.

I've made a quick mockup of a Play Next and Play Previous button in Processing.

Simply enable OSC input and output in the prefs of Resolume and press the buttons.

If you want to jump in the queue or start from the beginning, just trigger the desired column or eject all in Resolume, and the app will pick it up from there.

If you're having trouble launching the app, make sure you have Java installed. Processing itself is not needed.

If you're having trouble triggering, OSC input port in Resolume should be 7000, OSC output should go to port 7001, IP 127.0.0.1, with bundles turned off.

Hi all
I´m working on a theatre play and we would really really really love a "next column" trigger button. What joris posted would be perfect (the big red button), only it doesnt seem to run on newer java-clients, and I need to be able to map it to a key (rather than have to click it with mouse). I have no programming knowledge whatsoever, I guess I could have made this work by myself if I did have :)
I know this is an old thread, but if there is such a functionality available I haven´t found it. Any tips/hints/plugins/add-ons that could help me would be fantastic!

Your can try this app i made a few month ago with Max 6: "Next Track Resolume"

My application is here : http://divisionpixel.com/download/next-track-resolume
(Only for Mac OS for the moment, sorry)

Image

Installation:
- Connect a MIDI device - USB
- Start Resolume
- In the preferences of Resolume, click the "OSC " tab. Set the input port (OSC in) on 7100 .
- Start "Next Track resolume"
- Choose the MIDI device in the drop down tab
- On the device , choose two keys that will be used to navigate through the columns.
- Indicate the number selected notes in the boxes "Next" and "Previous"

I've the Max file, so, if someone want to do a windows version, send me a MP ;)

This is perfect, thank you! I wasnt planning on using a midi-controller actually, is it possible to map the next/previous column buttons to the keyboard? Without doing some fancy internal midi-routing on my mac? :)

In any case this is miles better than my current solution, thanx a million for this! :D
