Linking Live to Resolume beta - more of a Live question than a Resolume one

Hi There

I have been recently messing around with Live and the beta version of Resolume. I am wanting to use a MIDI keyboard to trigger simultaniously an audio clip in Live and a video clip in Resolume. To make matters worse I am running Resolume on another computer, and the two (the one with Live on and the one with Resolume on) are linked together via a MIDI-over-LAN connection (using IPMIDI). Now everything works fine, up to a point. Live sends MIDI Clock to Resolume - syncing the two up perfectly. Live can also send MIDI from the keyboard, through Live to Resolume to trigger Video clips, providing the assigned MIDI note isn't being used to trigger a clip in Live. Plus, Live can send MIDI CC data from my rave-o-lution 309 to Resolume to control sliders and knobs. But.....

The problems seems to be that I can't use the MIDI keyboard to trigger an audio clip AND a video clip in Resolume at the same time. It seems that if a MIDI note is being used to trigger a clip in Live, it wont be forwarded on.

Is there a way I can do this? I guess it may be something to do with MIDI thru, but I can't figure out how and what to do. Can anybody help? I am thinking I might need something like MIDIOX to intercept the MIDI info and forward it on to Resolume - but might this bugger up Midi clock?

Anyway, any help much appreciated.

buy a midi splitter- then you don't have to run lan-midi software, ableton got less to do and the sync works perfect. so i think it would be the best solution.....cheers

good idea, but i sorted it out, just used MIDIOx and split the MIDI signal virtually. The LAN MIDI option works fine, the problem was that I was just being a dumb arse!

Cheers
