Resolume Forum

Hi there

There seems to be an issue with the Midi on Arena 4 after about 30-40mins of operation, a 2 second delay seems to happen on any midi command. We are using coda nova VMX's.

The only workaround we have found is to restart the program. Luckily Arena 4 restarts fairly quickly.
All in all this is still pretty frustrating when operating in front of 15'000 people and your restarting the program every 30mins.

Also what is the go with deck loading speeds??? They are so slow its not funny.
Seriously by the time the deck has loaded we have missed the cue to load a specific clip.
Its not our media servers we only use SSD hdd's in raid and are 3.4Ghz i7's six core..


On a side note ( this is probably not the correct forum for this gripe )

Would it be possible to consider releasing a simplified version of resolume 4 ??

The layout of resolume 3 upwards has become very labour intensive to use.
Resolume 2.4 rocked and was quick and easy to use, deck, clip, speed & colour selection was quick and easy.
If your operating both Lighting and AV at the same time Resolume 4 is next to impossible to use, your forever moving the bloody mouse.

As it is on our last handful of shows we have ended up using 2.4 and sending the DVI output into another machine running resolume 4 arena for its mapping ability. This works quite well and there is a very low lag time on the output ( we are using a black magic intensity Pro ).

At the end of the day we should have to do this because the new version of software is terrible to use in a live situation.

Hi Alan

We've had several reports of midi lag, so we are taking this very seriously, but unfortunately during all the tests we've done on our systems, everything works as expected, for hours on end.

We'd really like to know more about what you are doing when the lag occurs. For instance, do you get the same result when you leave Resolume running with a single clip for 30-40 minutes?

If we can focus this topic on fixing the midi lag first, after that we can start the discussion on the benefits of R2 vs R4
