A quick question for anyone out there, I have a Livid Instruments Ohm64 midi controller hooked up, is there a way to assign frame cue's to certain midi notes. (kinda like the learn feature in live midi control under midi settings).. I have my controller mapped out but the cues don't make any sense how they are assigned and it would be great if I was able to choose a cue and right-click and select midi learn or something. The documentation hints at this but I can't find it. Is this possible? I also have my workspace in advanced mode. Any ideas? Thanks
Edit: Additionally, anyone know if it's possible to get midi output or feedback to a controller? IE, if a frame/cue is ready, a corresponding light on the midi controller should light solid to indicate a frame is loaded. If that frame/cue is being played, the corresponding light should be flashing.. ???
Initial MIDI setup for QuickShow:
(BTW - another update is coming soon to address some MIDI page select issues)
Settings: MIDI Settings:
MIDI Devices - make sure your controller shows up under MIDI In # 1
Input Options -
- Leave "Channel" and "Page" at defaults for now; Channel & Page select will be enhanced in future updates.
- "First Key" - which can be learned - sets the start note for selecting the cues.
- 60 Cues can be selected per page, with Cue # 1, the upper left cue, corresponding to the "First Key" note selected.
- Remaining cues are selected in sequence, left to right, top to bottom.
- Cue # 60, lower right cue, is selected using the 60th note / key in that sequence.
The controller feedback based on a cue status is a cool idea, but I don't think that is supported by MIDI right now.
I've heard of that with some DMX devices and interfaces, but not MIDI.
