Resolume Forum

Hi everybody. My "problem" is: I wanted to use resolume in a live show with my band. So we need to continuously change the bpm for each song. We use FL Studio for the metronome and some playback stuff. Now the thing is: for every new song to start, what i do is: type in the bpm value in resolume and press "Resync" Button in order to sinc this with the bpm i'm hearing from FL Studio. It worked the first time i've played my composition, but the second time i wanted to play it, the "Resync" process took to long and i wasn't able to do it. Is there something wrong with this "method"?. Is there a way to evade that "Resync" process taking that long time (Like 3 seconds)?.

The computer i use for this:

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit)
App: Resolume Avenue 4.2 (The one you can download from "Download" section)
GPU: AMD Radeon R7 260x 2Gb
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1Tb
Sound: Asio4All
CPU: AMD FX 6300 Black edition - six core, 3.5GHz, 14Mb cache memory
Motherboard: Asus M5A 78L-M LX3

As output we had a 32" Led TV working with 1280x720 Resolution. (With and HDMI cable)
The only "midi" stuff we have is an Axiom Air Mini 32 Keyboard. Using pad keys for trigger diferent Columns in Avenue.

Why not timecode/SMPTE your performance and sync that with your bpm from FL Studio? I'm not too advanced on that aspect as yet...but I think this would solve your problem, and even if you change the speed of your bpm,your timecode/SMTPE would speed up or slow down, and thus your videos would as well...

my 2 cents from sunny JA...(well clear night skies)

Or getting FL Studio to send a MIDI clock to Resolume.

Hi! First of all thanks for the suggested "Techniques" you help me know about.

With the timecode/SMPTE, i started to search information, but didn´t find any kind of tutorial explaining how to do it. Reading some stuff, i think this feature works a litte bit similar as the midi clock.

With the midi clock suggestion, in another forum i've reading about a guy using a tool call LoopBe1. this is a driver wich works like a "virtual" midi cable to connect between apps (at least, the way i imagine it works). So, i installed this driver, start FL Studio, and, in the midi configuration of the program, i saw this driver as an input/output. so selected it in the output information, mark the option "send master sync", and assing a port to it.

Then, open Resolume, go to preferences, midi, and you'll see the loopBe internal midi as midi device. so mark the option "clock imput" and Viola! it is smoothly synced and works great.

So, at this point, problem is solved, until i encounter other wall . For me, the next step is to do this same thing but with two different computers. A friend of mine, wich is an integrant from the band, has a laptop with a copy of Ableton Live Lite, so what i want to do is to sync this pc with my computer running resolume using ethernet. or other way.

So again, thanks for the advices, it really help me.

There is a program called rtpMIDI that does midi over ethernet. I have found it to be very reliable and fast.

On that website there is also some virtual midi software (loopMidi) that does the same thing as loobBe1 - if you wanted to stick with the same developer for both.
