Hi all

I'm pulling my hair out on this one. I've started using Freestyler to control 10 LED parcans and I've set up a few sequences which is working nicely. Now I have purchased a MIDI Moose MIDI pedal from Tech 21 and I can't get it to control anything in Freestyler.

I've been into the MIDI setup page and just to try and get it working, I'm trying to assign a pedal MIDI button to both Toggle blackout and Toggle freeze. When I click on Edit, I can click on the Function, press a button on my MIDI pedal and the correct Note appears in the 'Note' column, so I know Freestyler is getting the MIDI codes through. I then click on 'Edit' again to stop editing, on 'Start' and then 'Save' which closes the Setup window.

Shouldn't it then be a case of simply pressing the pedal button and Freestyler Freezing or Blacking out?

Really confused - can't find anything about this in the documentation.

Thanks in advance

HI, I have the same problem but only when I updated to V3.5.5. V3.5.4 is fine for me....??

Thanks for the post. Is 3.5.4 available for download? I had an even old version loaded prior to 3.5.5 but midi didn't work on that either which is why I upgraded.

Is there any other similar software that would work with a uDMX USB to DMX interface?

Thanks

Hi, I am not sure about other software you could use sorry. I have a separate thread running to find out where the FS dowloads can be obtained.

Hi all

After a good few hours tinkering, I've finally got MIDI working properly with the latest version of Freestyler. The problem I had was that my MIDI controller (MIDI Moose - which is a fantastic quality product by the way) was sending 0 as the velocity. To fix this, I installed MIDI OX and then piped the output to MIDI Yoke setting up a Data mapper changing the Velocity value from 0 to 127. The trigger value in the Freestyler.ini file is 127 meaning that's why it wasn't working - those two values need to match. Getting the value from MIDI Moose and then changing the velocity to 127 makes it work perfectly!

Hi, Thanks very much for sharing and very clever. It is too complicated for me to do so I will stick with V3.5.4 until this is sorted.
