Hi,
please, I need help
I can't find the way to control with 2 buttons : one for plus and one for minus in the beat control area.
I'm just breaking my head since few days with this and I think I've tried everything possible with different controllers (hardware and Lemur App) without success.
Thanks!

This should work:
Enable your midi device as input in Midi Preferences,
Go to Shortcuts menu, Edit Midi,
click on the - button, then push a button on your controller,
repeat for + button,
Exit Midi mapping,
done.

Hi Zoltan,
I think I was not clear enough.
My problem is not how to map midi in general but this specific funtion which allow only 1 button (for both "+" and "-"):

I know that I can had more buttons to one function in R6 but the main problem is to set 1 button for minus and one for plus.
I've tried with Toggle, Value and Velocity options that are proposed but nothing works like a simple click with the mouse.
It's the same here of course :

Oh ok, I thought you wanted to map the Composition BPM - and +.

This is currently not possible. Not just for the Beat count but also not for any other parameters that have the - and + buttons.
I guess you are using multiples of 4 to set the beat count. You could use duplicate midi shortcuts set to values like 4, 8, 16, 32.

I'm back on my Lemur template for Resolume 6 and I want to use OSC to control Beats of a clip on a specific layer.
I use this address :
/composition/layers/1/beatsorbpm
And I would like to use different buttons to set values to 4, 8, 16, 32....
In the Lemur editor, when I set the value to 0.000003, it gives me 3.15 beats. With 0.000004, it's 4.20 beats. And Lemur do not allow to add a decimal. So I can't have 4 beats precisely.
I'm wrong or it is not possible to do that?
Thanks

Yeah, looks like you won't be able to do that easily via OSC from Lemur.
We'll have a look if this can be improved.

Can Lemur Send a string together with an integer in a single OSC message?
If it does, you could set the Beat/BPM with the absolute prefix.
/composition/layers/1/beatsorbpm "a" 16f
would set the beats or BPM to 16.

Hi Zoltán,
sorry for my late answer but I had to understand your post (not so good in english) and then try it in Lemur.
And unfortunately, It seems that it's not possible with Lemur.
