I did some google-ing and decided to get myself a treat and bought an Akai APC 40.įirst thing i stumbled upon was no feedback from Resolume and no easy way to get the lights and led-rings to work. when you get to a gig is it plug and play or do you have to reassign everything again and go through the process?Ī couple of months ago i started vj-ing using resolume.įirst i hooked up Resolume to my Xone-4D using midi mapping, but the A&H Xone-4D is an audio mixing console and not quite suitable for resolume. P.s The Final thing i would like to ask is. Thirdly i'd like to set the cue level to global opacity, is that possible? I really need to get my hands one one and mess about with it to see what i can map and i cant! also i dont think im too bothered about the lights.Ĭheers and thanks for the mapping template too. One thing i would like to do is have the 'master fader' set as the global layer speed? so when working in AV i can change it for all.Īlso i would like to map one of the other faders as a crossfader, is this possible? i thought about the 40 but i think the 20 will be best for me. Im stilling reading into the light problems. If you're thinking that the faders have internal banks, you're wrong, unless res3's feedback comes with a "shift" function to double controls, you'll be stuck with 9 faders.Ĭool thanks for this werlin. If i can share some advice: i bought the 20 but traded it for a 40. Werlin wrote:the only major one, is feedback (lights and stuff) and this goes for both the 20 and the 40. Now based on that, you can trigger different LED states on different button by pressing one button alone - in bome's you can decide which notes to send out at which volicity. I have attached a simple diagram of how I am using those programs outlined on page 1 together, hope it can help someone get the idea. You can't reflect which clip is playing or what layer is selected, all you can do is build workarounds, for example to indicate which button you just have pressed. You can build simple routines in Bome's translator like switching on/off or changing the color of multiple buttons when a certain button is pressed, or changing how the LED rings of the knobs behave. If you have a Software that is able to directly send MIDI Notes back to the controller, you won't need any of this, you'll just have to map by hand which light have to be triggered (see mapping diagrams linked below). Now as this is only a workaround it will work with ANY Vjing Software. However during all the shows I did since I got the APC, I found that having a basic indication of what the buttons are mapped for is of great help, so this is definitely worth spending some time on, even if it does not reflect what Resolume is actually doing. It does not directly communicate with Avenue! One Set of this data will control Avenue, the other Set is routed to the midi translator for processing and sending notes back to the controller - so adpating the lights is a purely cosmetic thing as long as Resolume doesn't support MIDI out. The technique with the midi translator works by duplicating the incoming MIDI-Data of the controller. So far, there is no way to get the APC40 to respond to what you do in Avenue. First off, thx for the info about piano mode, i never saw this option because of my tiny laptop screen, it was hiddenĪ word about templates & Midi translators:
