Resolume Forum

this vdmx echo mode is awesome...

being tied to my mac is not

arena should let you pick the velocity of the midi signal being sent by every clip slot and fader and button...

also selecting interest points on a slider and then mapping it to buttons is a really cool feature and helps to eliminate bomes from the pipeline

is there like already a way to do this or something?

I have to use bomes to do this for choose colors based on a livid block layout. Would be nice a nice feature to have. I keep feeling bad every time I use bomes as a solution on this forum. I haven't seen a way to do it.

As much as we'd love to have support for colors in midi output, we're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place for this.

The options here are pretty much endless. Aside from the protocol used (every controller seems to handle colors differently), we also cannot pre-empt every possible use out there. We simply can't program for every possible user scenario.

VDMX is indeed a lot more versatile in this. This makes sense, because VDMX overall is all about customization and user control (at the cost of working less intuitively and having a steep learning curve), where Resolume is all about plug and play (at the cost of less customization options and having a 'feature roof').

We're hoping that somewhere down the line (probably a 5.x update), we can offer at least clip grid colors.

For highly personalized use, such as color feedback and the like, I'm afraid that you will nearly always have to resort to third party options. Besides Bomes, using Processing to handle the logic and midi communication, and then using OSC to communicate with Resolume is a very, very powerful method.

I agree with everything your saying here. allowing the control of velocity note sent when triggering a clip would be beneficial for many things besides color...

right now I address this problem with maxmsp as Im sure many others do... but native support would be killer
