Midi to DMX

Post by Kai-Uwe »

In the External Control>>Midi Section are some points called "Midi to DMX ...." For what? When i assign a note to it nothing changes in the desired DMX output channel. So for what is it and how can i use it? There is also nothing in the WIKI.

It would be nice if i could assing a Midi-Note to an DMX-Channel (1-512)......Maybe a feature request?

Excuse my bad english

Thats what Midi to DMx does.

But you also need to assign a DMX channel to it.

if you go to the Midi options and you go to the Midi to dmx.
you will see

Note - page - Channel

and Under the Channel you see "n.a." but with the midi to dmx you see this field is empty and there you NEED to fill in the DMX channel.

Spirit,

I tried to do this because I want to control a sunstrip light with midi VST drums, that everytime you hear the kickdrum, one of the lights flashes.
So now I have Note 38 / Page 1 / DMX channel 2.

However, the dmx values are now are all 128 and goes down to 104 when a note is struck. How do I reverse this so the default value is 0 and every time a note is struck it goes up?
