![]() I'm planning to have just 2 floor lights behind me, perhaps moving (and possibly an LED bar in front of me) which i think will work nice in smaller clubs, but in bigger spaces 2 floor lights might not cut it. I wanted to ask firstly - with the DMXis setup, is there a way I can send this converted midi info to the house and use the full lighting rig, or is it only possible to use this with my own lights? It would be good to know if using the full house lighting is an option. the Entec DMXis is exactly what I need and as I understand it, I will send my midi to this converter, then to the lights, and will then daisy-chain the lighting rig and end it with a DMX terminator. So i run my live show from Ableton Live 9 and want to sync a lighting show with this. ![]() Sorry to hijack the thread but have a few questions relating to this subject so thought I'd ask here! So depending on what you're doing, that may come into play. Keep in mind that an art net value range for a given channel is 0-255 or 0-1(normalized), whereas with MIDI, a channel has 128 steps. If you are comfortable coding at all, Openframeworks has some add ons with built in functions that allow some helpful and creative things to be done, without having to write all of it from scratch yourself. That's a pretty solid and customizable approach, that many people are using. You could also consider using something like TouchOSC to create yourself a custom GUI for your show, that you can control via iPad or iPhone - it sends out MIDI or OSC messages, that you could then convert to Artnet. I'm not as familiar, but have used a couple of those type of things in a pinch before. There will need to be some finessing and re-ranging of values using QuartzComposer.īUT, there are also many little MIDI to Artnet bridge apps, or MIDI/OSC/Artnet bridge type apps available, that may allow you to do this as well. since there is no way that the raw MIDI data will equate to proper DMX values. ![]() I would probably tend to use that if I had various instruments sending out MIDI, and wanted to literally derive lighting looks from that data. ![]() I have many times used QuartzComposer to receive the MIDI data, then use the built in math/LFO/interpolation objects to contour the MIDI data however I want, then spit it out to Artnet using Kineme's artnet sender plugin, and something like an Enttec node. ![]()
