bugs found with assigning fx.

hi, been using the demo and have found a few gltichs which would restrict me if I was to use this in a live setting.

I have an m-audio trigger finger and have plugged it into resoulme. I have assigned an fx (metalimage) and when I select a pad it loads the fx, but it loads it as 100% alpha. I know you have to hold alt click with the mouse to load the fx with 0% alpha. I have loaded the fx reduced it to 0% and saved it and reassigned to the pad on the finger. Same problem. It's also the same with keyboard assignment so I know it's not my midi controller. A VJ friend of mine has also confirmed this glitch, and he has a full copy, so it's not isolated to just the demo version.

Another problem I have discovered is that of the 4 faders with my 'finger I have assigned one to control the active effect's alpha opacity. But loading the effect the position of the fader isn't picked up upon until I touch the fader at which point it adjusts to where the fader is placed. Have I assigned the fader wrong somehow? Is there something I need to activate to make resoulme pick up where the fader is when it loads the effect or is there some conflict I can't see?

Does this actually make sense? Basically I wanna load various fx with different pads, but load them with 0% alpha so I can gradually add them rather than them hitting 100%. I also would like to control their opacity with a fader but have it load at whatever the fader position is. Is this causing a conflict? I have loaded the fx from the pad with the fader NOT being assigned to get the same 1st problem.

The other 3 faders control the opacity of the 3 layers. They also need to be touched before resolume will pick up their positions.

other than that can't really find fault. But this would limit this wicked program in a live environment.

Operating System: WINXP PRO
Processor: 1.4GHZ
Videocard: SONY VAIO STANDARD
Version: 2.3

to load an effect with 0% opacity you need to save the effects initial values with the save button on the effect pannel (the little button with the floppy icon).

here is what you do:
1. load the effect in one of the global effect pannels
2. set the parameter values to how you want them to be when you load an effect (so this is where you set the opacity to 0%)
3. click on the little save buttn.
4. done!

now everytime you load that effect again it will start with the parameter values that you saved it to.

hope this helps.

Cheers anyway but I mentioned that I had done that already in my original post

Whilst IT does work when loading within resolume with a mouse. It doesn't work when loaded from the midi controller. The whole point would be to load from the controller as it is faster and easier than a mouse.

After restarting resolume. It now does work when keyboard assigned.

i.e. I press "/" and it loads the fx and whatever I saved it as. However it doesn't with my midi controller. I'm still confused.

we just double checked and it indeed does not work with midi, keyboard shortcust do work. We,ll fix that in version 2.4! sorry for the misunderstanding, i read your post a little bit too fast

ah wicked. any idea on the 2nd problem? How to make resolume automatically pickup where the fader is positioned?

yes for your second problem you need to use endless rotary midi dials, not faders that have a fixed range.

oh. thats a bit of a shitter. is there no way to patch it maybe? I don't know shit about programming not pretending to. but the alpha channel of the fx has a range from 0% to 100% and the fader has a property of 0-127. Surely you could just assign 0% fx to 0 on the fader and 100% to 127 on the fade, but so that resolume knows where the fader is when it loads the fx. Is it possible you guys could look at changin that in 2.4?
