I can make a fixture profile, make tags, and with the generic instrument, I can trigger with the C3 note for example the DMX channel 1 to turn on the red light.
But make 15 channels, and trigger different channels with different (of the same) note
and especially for channel 2 for example. this triggers a preset in the lamp and I need to send DMX value 1, 2, 3 … or 42 to the lamp. how can I trigger the different DMX values to channel 2. with different notes for example.
A lot of questions, maybe it’s easier to request this fixture profile in the google form, but I rather learn the magic myself with a little help:)
end goal is to control the lights during a live music show.
As far as controlling parameters with MIDI notes, in Beam you assign a single note to each fixture / cell, and usually use that in Live to trigger envelopes for controlling intensity of a single continuous parameter of a fixture, optionally with note velocities determining target gain.
While Generic instrument allows you to assign any parameter to one of the two envelopes, using that for slot-based parameter/channels is probably not what you want.
If you want to use different MIDI notes for setting a single parameter to different values, you could create a number of Clips with different effectmode automation values, then map different MIDI notes to trigger different Clips.
Instead of using the pre-programmed effects, I would also encourage you to try creating your own, by using the fixture in the Multiple RGB mode that allows you to control RGB intensities of each individual segment of the fixture, allowing you to e.g. turn on each individual segment with a separate MIDI note, or use Beam’s LFO/Spread for spread animations. See this video for some creative workflow ideas.
Thanks a lot, this helps a lot!
I also followed your advice to start with the Multiple RGB modus, it’s easier than I thought. You get very cool results with the GLORB. With the LFO spread modus you get a very cool effect with the 120 different led lights!!
