Resolume Forum

Hi Guys...
is there any way how I can send the midiclock out of Resolume?...anywhere?....anyone?

PC or MAC? I think kineme has a custom midi clock. Do you need true midi clock or just a way to get the bpm out?

PC....and I need the true Midiclock I supose.

I used OSC out of resolume into Max MSP to do the midi clock. I'm assuming your trying to drive physical devices through a midi cable.

I think i created something like that from this example a few years back. My copy of max expired so I can't remake it for you.

Hi Drazker,
thanks for your reply.

I think I have to explain my current project a bit more.

Right now I'm updating my existing lemur ipad control surface with a 16 step stepsequenzer for triggering Resolume FX on beat. For the current state of development it works "okay".

- Midiclock is generated with a Kaoss Pad 3 (USB > PC).
- Resolume grabs the clock the regular way via the midi tap.
- The same midiclock of the KP3 is routed to the lemur ipad via the lemur midi daemon "kinda virtual midi cable" (Software > WiFi > iPad).
- The Lemur is connected with OSC over WiFi with Resolume

All-right...at this point the step sequencer runs and triggers defined video fx in Resolume.

BUT - and this is the main problem - this way its not possible to "resync" the clock timing to the first step of the 16 steps like the Resolume resync button does.

There are several possibilitys described in the lemur manual but they only seem to work if I use the internal clock of the lemur.

So, why I now wanna use the clock of Resolume is to test the behaviour of the lemur when I press the resync button in Resolume.

I'm open to any other ideas....but I don't really want to integrate another "massive" tool like MAX in this chain.

SOLVED IT

The key was a midi message which need to be send to force a listening midi software to reset the songposition to position null.
The Kaoss Pad is not able to send such a midi "transport" command. So I used "Bomes midi translator Pro" to analyse the midistream of Ableton live in that second when I hit the STOP button of the timeline to get the raw midi command. Deleted Ableton trial

Now I used "Bome" again to manipulate the midistream of the KaossPad. Every time I hit a midi button on the pad with the note D#2, Bome automatically insert the missing transport command into the midistream which now totally consists of the Midi clock, the note D#2 which is mapped to the Resolume Resync function and the transport function which I need to reset the lemur step-sequencer which triggers defined Resolume fx.

That was easy!....NOT! ...but it was fun to figure it out.

Shorty I can present you an IPad step sequencer which triggers Resolume FX.

Maybe i'm missing something. But wouldn't it be easier to have Resolume send the BPM out via OSC and the resync button from resolume to trigger a resync on the lemur step app?
I think if you enable OSC out and have you're lemur listen to

/playbackcontroller/bpm/
/playbackcontroller/resync/

You get BPM and the Resync button.
I don't have the lemur app but i'm assuming that long as its given a BPM you can halve and modify your values on the lemur and resync to the start.

Am i missing something tho? Or do you need the midi clock to tell you're lemur sequencer to step forward. I'm assuming at this stage there is a sequencer that steps forward based on BPM.


Edit: I was late, lol.

Hey Drazkers.....yes too late hehe
hmmm... your way could also work. I will try it tomorrow.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi Drazkers,
your proposal works. And it works better than mine. Thanks! Also Thanks to HerrNieDa who helps me out with a little bit of math so far.

Happy!
