Add midi ctrl for custom DMX channels

Post by JGP »

Hello,

REQUESTED FEATURE(s)
1. Manually ctrl all UV lights using a knob on my MIDI controller.
2. Map certain color channels to certain custom DMX channels.

MOTIVATION
I'm currently trying to bring projections and lighting together in Arena.
I use RGBAW+UV LED bars and want to use the UV lights to improve the overall lightshow.

Being able to somehow wire the rendered output to a custom dmx channel map, would also allow for any visual to drive NON-visual show elements like moving head axis, laser tilt or - like in this case - the UV light.

CURRENT SOLUTION
none. I have use a seperate, additional, unrelated DMX controller with no integration.

I´m in a similar situation and desperately wait for Wire/Avenue to extend their DMX support to traditional fixtures. Not in an "add a complete virtual desk" way of course, but being able to have a graphical, procedural way (Wire) to create DMX clips ("let the heads rotate on beat" "flicker pars on every 2nd 8th"), layer them to taste and trigger them via MIDI thru Avenue.

Meanwhile, I use a combination of launchpads, bitwig, bome and qlc+ to get things done, so of course I´d love to reduce complexity and integrate things to Avenue (everything is synced via Ableton Link atm).
