endless rotator and webcam trouble and more
Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2005 15:41
i've tested 2.3 for a few days, looks very good, speed is nice and i love the feedback (i have 2 decks full of feedback sources with effects 
)
but there are 2 little problems
- i'm using a doepfer pocket dail midi unit (16 endless rotators) but when i choose endless controller in the midi settings i'm not able to use the full slider range... don't know how to explain it, but it's like when i want to change the speed i only can go from 20% to 80% and sometimes with some fast back-forward rotating i can get it to 100% but then it won't go down below 40% :S this makes it very difficult for scratching etc... so now i still use the fixed controllers (that works okay, but get's a little jumpy ofcourse when switching layers..)
- after 2.0 i can't get my webcam (philips toucam pro) to work... i place the source in the deck, and place it in a layer, then resolume hangs... (i'm about to order a simpel usb video-in device, hope that works...)
also the tracker source it not very usefull... maby a bit more settings
and sometimes when scrolling down the plugins list i can't get to the bottom, to solve it i have to scroll up and down again or close and open a part of the list..
it would also be nice to be able to rename the catagories in the decks menu, you can make a new one but not rename it. also when i save a deck i can't rename them (not able to type though the text is selected)
and besides that it would be cool to have a little bit more options; 2x more decks (also with keyboard controll like shift-f8) maby an option to use 2 simple global effects in one effect-box (like invert and grayscale) and i would love to have some more keyboard controll options, like RGB select for each layer...
that's about it for today
thanks
edit: also i can't shutdown resolume after a few hours of use.. i click the close button and then okay but the dialog windows stays and resolume does not respond...
