MIDI Mapping

Post by stanleystark »

Simple MIDI Mapping feature like on ableton (there is a midi button on the interface, when clicked you the interface goes a bit gray and you can click on a control, then move a knob on your midi devices, and it learns it, then you click on the midi button again to go back t normal mode.. it takes about 2 seconds)... its a problem to do midi mapping live, i usually have to do everything before i start the show, and have little flexibility when i want to change something..

midi config save / import / export

You can alreay save/export and import your MIDI config...do it in the preferences window. i keep a backup of it in case the file becomes corrupt.

May i also suggest preparing your setup BEFORE the gig ;)

it is also usefull when you dont have so many knobs or midi controllers.. you can recycle and use them for different things during a show, and not be doomed to be using a knob to control one thing...

you can still change it live, but it takes too long....

resolume is designed to be used live, and easier midi mapping is for me a must

There is a much better way of "recycling" a controller.

Resolume records the MIDI channel number as well as the command. If your MIDI controller has an easy way of changing the channel number (most do - a programmable knob or function key), then you can record multiple configs ahead of time, each one on a different MIDI channel. Then you can switch between alternative configs by simply changing the MIDI channel number on the device.
