What's new then in this release ? There is nothing in the version log at the forum. Nothing informative at the youtube channel and nothing in the changelog. Why is this so hard ?

Konken

I haven't seen any updates regarding the blackout key in lumidesk and midicon. I have started to use Bome's for sending the key commands (ctrl+F8 ) and now it seems that the led indication on the screen and the midicon are in sync. This is just an info to someone who find this interesting......

Konken

A question regarding the "Previous Sequence" and "Next Sequence" buttons. According to the documentation there is no shortcuts for these. Live Clear" button has "Ctrl+F7" and blackout has "ctrl+F8. Would be nice if these were assignable to.

Agree with last post, but the starting posision issue...As I understand we can use position pallets to create some "fixed" positions. If we for instance add an effect to one of these ( for instance a circel )Then if you edit the pallet, the x/y values will remain uncanged for the circel mo...

Hi all. I am not totally sure of this, but I think in earlier versions there were a possibillity to see all assign midi buttons and faders. Maybe I'm mixing this up with something else. Anyway it would be nice to have an overall view of all of the midi inputs and edit or delete them. The reason for ...

Konken

I think this feature would be a much welcommed addition to this software.

Konken

Hi, I have done some more "research" into this and this is what I found out. If you patch four generic channels, starting for instance at dmx 5 throug 8. And then assign those four to different faders on the midicon. Switch to live mode and active desktop, the fixture has to be selected fi...

Konken

Hi, thanks for the answer and the videos. I have not tested this version in a real situation, but I noticed a little new "bug". If you patch for instance two generic single channels and try to use them in live mode with live desktop, this do not work well. It seem that the program has some...

What is new ?

Konken

Hi Xavier If I do like you propose. Make a sequence with the fader assign to the dimmer and functions on the A,B and C buttons. This is working just fine. But if I do the same with the next fader and buttons. ( if I for instance have two groups of different fixtures )Then this do not work unless I s...

The drawing mention is this post is wrong. Pin 4 and pin 5 has to be switched. The correct layout will be like this :
Pin 1 = Ground
Pin 2 = Data +
Pin 3 = Data -
Pin 4 = Data +
Pin 5 = Data -
Anyway I resolder my pins and now the third universe is up and running

Konken

Hi Xavier This is just an update. I have tested the "Master fader" function on the midicon and this works fine. The Assignation Live Action Button that I earlier could not get to work, was of course the stupid thing of not using Shift + Left Click, I looked to the settings on the button.. ...

Konken

I will check it out, thanks.

Konken

Sometimes I have the same problem, but this I think it's because the program did not close the last session correctly. At least in my cases.

Konken

Is there anyone with a clever idea on how to get this to work ?

Konken

Forgot one thing :
My point with the possibility to have more than one "tab" for the live mode was to use the page up/down on the midicon to switch between them.If for instance you have a lot of settings with "meaningfull" names the it would be nice to see this also on the screen.

Konken

Hi Xavier Sorry about the late reply, I found time for a little holiday with the family :) I still found time to test some of the improvements on a show on Thursday. The function with selecting different moving heads with the same midi assignment worked really well as far as I can tell. This was the...

Konken

Hi All, my intentions was not to step on anyones toes. So a big apologize. I'm only trying to get someone to tell my for instance if the midi implementation is undergoing some improvement or not. And how to get my third dmx universe to function and for instance the best way to check if my usb box ha...

Konken

Okai Mr, and thanks. A little update from my side. I thought mayby I could try Bome's midi translator and I did. This works fine with for instance mapping keystrokes for selecting groups. I could not get Bomes to work with X/Y parameters. other than when I routed the signal straight throug.( bomes )...

Konken

Hi all, I can't help myself for saying this. I really do think that the lack of input and feedback especially from the "owner" / dedicated moderators on this forum is to weak. This is the only forum dedicated to this software and it's users, and therefore the first and in some cases the on...

Konken

Yes, I "draw" the lines in the hardware config. Universe 2 works , but not the third universe. Is the pin layout for the 5 pin correct on the drawing ?

Konken

Okai, the plugs arrived today.....but did it work. A big no, is there more settings other than activating three universes in the hardware ?. Checked the cords going into the plugs and they are ok. i ordred two set of ready made cable for this and they are connected according to the pin layout on the...

Konken

Hi and thanks. It seems that this point is working now. My big concern is that it seems that the master fader does not dim all the channels and the blackout does not work. Also if you see my other post regarding the movement of for instance moving heads, then it does not matter if the fixture is sel...

Konken

Mayby there is a parameter in the config file for this ?

Konken

Hi, just wondered if there is any progress with this issue ? or is this something I have to wait for and not expect to see solved in any near future. I can't see that this should be a big issue to fix, since it's only a matter of blocking fixtures not selected on screen. Actually I think this should...

Konken

Aha, just ordered plugs for this. Thanks for the info.

Konken

Hi all, this is mayby a stupid question. I have the ultimate version, and according to the documentation there are 3 universes. I can see two dmx and an old type on the other side of the box. Where is the documentation for this ? I have searched , but I can't find anything. What kind of plug to use ...

Konken

Is there still no one ?

Konken

Once more..... what's new in the release 15-01 ? . I really think you should use the version log. Would be a whole lot better for the users.

Konken

I see there is a new version out, and that's fine. The big Q is : What's new ?
Is the selection and movements of fixtures, fixed in this version. Just asking,
can't see that the version log is updated.

Konken

Ok, thx for the update.

Konken

What's new ?

Konken

Hi Julien and thx for the answer. So if I understood you right, then we need different midi params for movement for each fixture ? If this is so and as you suggested, this is something that have to be improved as far as I can see. If I use a lot of moving heads then it would be impossible to keep tr...

Konken

Now I have tested it and it does not work. It does not matter if the fixture is selected or not. It still sends midi and I have checked on the dmx level. It sends out midi to all fixtures that have the same midi assignment. Of course it works if I assign different midi for each fixture regarding the...

Konken

Anyone tried this controller with lumidesk ?

Konken

Ok, thx for the answer. I pretty sure I tested that as well. Is there a possibility that it's actually the 3d visualizer that is showing this wrong ? I don't have moving heads lying around at my home ,so I can't test this.

Konken

I tried to connect the bcf to the keyboard midi in, this did not work. But I connected the keyboard to midi in on the bcf, this worked. You will of course lose the feedback function for the faderes and knobs. I also used the midi out and not the usb connection on the bcf. I will try to use a midi me...

Konken

Maybye I'm missing something, but my question is as follows. If I set up a fixture patch with let say 6 moving heads and assign values to the X and Y axis using knobs on a midi keyboard. How do I make them move independently. If I select just one of them , then all of them moves. This can't be right...

Konken

Ok, thanks. My ultimate version arrived last week. So I had the chance to test it for real. My next question is. It seems that it's just possible to select one midi source. Is this correct ? Do I have to for instance connect the bcf2000 throug the midi port on let's say a keyboard controller to use ...

Konken

First of all, hi to everyone and yes I'm new to this forum. I have a couple of fairly easy questions to ask. I'm consindering buying the ultimate version of this software and have downloaded the "trial" version some time ago. I should also mention that I also downloaded almost every dmx so...
