Resolume Forum

I'm using a PC laptop with a touchscreen.
It's great fun for loading clips from the deck while playing live.
However i often find it difficult to control the slider along the bottom of the deck because it's a little too thin to easily grab with the fingers.
Is there any easier way to control it, other than by using the trackpad which can be a bit fiddly?

It would be good if it was possible to either:
assign a midi controller (slider) to it,
or make it fatter so it was easy to move with the finger.

Is this possible?
Thanks, peeps!

You could try to use the layer MIDI move map. Downside is it will immediately trigger the clip you are cycling through. Using OSC you could try specifying a Preview clip value, but you would have to set manually increments of (for example) 12 clips (unless some other more clever individuals here could scrip it). /layer1/clip1/preview
/layer1/clip12/preview
/layer1/clip24/preview etc.

Hi theLABVisuals,

thanks again for your clever insights
the coffee is obviously working!

i tried the layer MIDI move arrow as you suggested (i hadn't noticed that before!), and it did work, but as you say it was loading up clips as i scrolled through which wasn't ideal.
So i decided to go with your other suggestion using MIDI mapping to my MIDI controller buttons (i've never used OSC & the midi works fine).
So i've assigned a row of buttons on my midi controller to the preview of clips at regular intervals in my deck.
It works great!

Thanks so much for helping me out,
