Automating / Mapping composition change

Post by Gripple »

Hi everybody!

I'm a musician making electronic ambient music.I'm using resolume with Ableton live to trigger video clip at the same time as my audio clip. Everything works really well and it had a lot to my performance. Althought I would like to know if there's a way to change composition via midi or OSC mapping. I really don't want to have to look or touch my computer during my performance and in between songs.
Thanks for your help!

you can't change the composition, but you can change decks
you can have a lot of decks in the same composition.

You can't change add/remove/move clips using Midi/OSC/DMX but you can change many controls/parameters on the fly.

Check out the section of the manual on "Controlling Resolume".

Ok thanks a lot for the fast reply ! Will having a lot of deck at the same will use more CPU?

Thanks again

No it won't.
But switching a deck to another takes some time, depending on how many clips you have in the decks.
having more decks with fewer clips, instead of having few decks with a large number of clips is generally a good idea.
