Macros effect/presets...Game changer

Post by rayg006 »

Similar to how Blackmagic Atems vision mixers record and save Macro presets that be recalled by one button on the panel.

There's multiple preset slots available and a record button and it records any button/fader/state changes that are made whilst the record button is enabled and then saved to that preset slot which is midi mappable.

Once recalled via a midi button press it recalls that preset and the recorded state is recalled, one button multiple effects and state looks, as soon as a fader/button is touched then it will obviously override that particular setting in the preset if that fader/ parameter was saved in the state.

Obviously a standard base look will needed tobe made to revert to where your faders and effects are likely to be... but this could be a game changer as different presets as well individual clips could be the same effect parameters which currently can only have one button assigned without it becoming messy.

This macro preset feature sounds like a total game changer! The ability to recall multiple effects with just one button will streamline workflows and enhance creativity. Excited to see how it transforms live production!

You'll need to download https://vvvv.org/download/
vvvv gamma to use it, but I've been in the process of making a preseter for vvvv patches, this patch uses osc to record and control resolume, I've only put in layers clips and opacity really so far, but you can try and add more if you need. (right click on a button to store a preset, left to recall it, timeline is wip so ignore it)
Trouble is there are so many addresses (and transport sends every frame for every layer) and learning from wiggling parameters over osc is going to be tricky. And fx are all named in osc , so you have to specify the address per layer etc. I don't know whether using rest would make more sense, but I don't know rest at all so haven't bothered. But I have set parameters to presets in the patch and that works. (tick boxes say whether to record a a parameter or not)
You'll want to watch some tutorials for using gamma if you've never across it before... and pc only.
I've been making it as I have a tv show in a couple of months and wanted to be able to make scenes and recall them with one button...
