Issue triggering beat synced layers

Post by blobe »

Hello everyone, I'm new to Resolume so this may be an easy fix but here's what I'm trying to do and the problem I'm having with it.

I'm using the newest update of Arena 7.

I'm trying to set up automated visual scene changes for when I do DJ livestream's since I dont have a second person to run visuals for me.

Currently I'm sending bpm and beat info with Ableton Link from my pioneer NXS2 setup with Show Kontrol. The issue I'm having is i have a video clip set to transport to a random position in the clip every 4 beats so that the visual behind me switches on the 1, every bar. to activate the clip Show Kontrol sends out midi info to resolume on set cues, the scene activates on time, but the 4 beat transport i have setup doesn't always activate on the 1, it sometimes activates on the 2, 3 or 4. making the visuals look off.

I've tried setting the clips to have no beat-snap, or a 1 bar beat snap but i still seem to have the same issue, any ideas on how to trigger this clip so it always changes on the first beat of every bar?

Thanks!

The first beat of a bar in Resolume or Ableton link might not be the first bar in your track.

I'd probably set my clips and composition to beat snapping to none. That should launch clips instantly.
1 beat snapping could be also a nice help.
