External Software Control

[Dmxlaser]

Hello there.
Is there any plugin or any way to control an external software
in the same computer?
For example:
I have the Freestyler programmed and connected and i
costumized the touchscreen but i need to a add 2 buttons
on the touchscreen to control the windows media player or
any media player program (PLAY-STOP).
Is it possible to do this without minimizing FS touchscreen?

What about dual screen ?

it could be possible to use Midi for this..

If you add AS example a Dummy Overridebutton to TUI2 and add a Empty Seq to it.
now if you Enabled the Midi commands, lets use MIDIYOKE to create a Virtual Midi connection between FS and the other Software. If the other Software can use MIDI

Now you can use the Midi NOTE from the override button.
as FS sends feedback to the Midi controller to put the led on Or off.
but you can also use it For PLAY or STOP..

B0 00 127 = button press
FS send back
B0 00 127 = LED ON. (Play)

Press again B0 00 127
Fs send back
B0 00 00 = LED OFF. (Stop)

i never tried it before.
but now i did and it Works!!!!

this is what i did.
i download
LOOPBE1
Winamp
Xor midi control.

Now on FS i Made the Midi ouput on LoopBE.
added a Empty SEQ (named PLAY) add this seq to Override button 1
now added a Note to Override button 1 with the Keyboard. 1 to 127 can be used.
Now opent XOR and added a new Function.
Press the override button and XOR with add the NOTE. selected the PLAY function.
And it works.

Look at the movie i added.

i only noticed as FS uses Toggle button for override button you need to press the button 2 times but maby you can use a Flash button if you change the settings on XOR as "Infinte or Reverse"
