  • MIDI encoder Mackie Control style, fast move not captured

    Hello again about encoders ... I'm back about it with (RC3 release).


    I'm trying to set an X-Touch MINI from Behringer in Mackie Control mode: encoders send the MIDI value from 1 to 6 for increment and from 65 to 71 for decrease.


    My issue is that, for example, with clockwise increment, only the value 1 is understood/captured. Explanation:

    • I move slowly my encoder: the value 1 is sent, it works, the encoder value increment is applied,
    • I move more quickly my encoder: the value 2 (or 3 or 4, ... depending "force") is sent but not captured by DMXControl because it's only waiting for the value 1 or 65.

    Is there a way to manage such encoder mapping ? The issue is that when I move quickly the encoder, nothing happens.


    Thanks

  • DMXC 3.3.0 RC4: Art-Net seems to stuck

    I made a fresh install and if I follow those steps:

    • install fresh DMXC3RC4,
    • run,
    • create an empty project,
    • exiting,
    • run => it's ok
    • add Artistic Art-Net interface,
    • exit,
    • run

    Kernel is stucked at this step:

  • DMXC 3.3.0 RC4: Art-Net seems to stuck

    Dear,

    I've just installed the last RC4 and I'm facing this in logs when adding Art-Net DMX Interface:

    Code
    17:19:13 FATAL MainProcessRunable - Main Runnable seams stuck in an endless loop! You might have to restart DMXC... Please report this!

    The same device DDF and project with RC3 works (I'm using env var to quickly switch) but I cannot have Art-Net working with RC4.

    Thanks

  • MIDI Clock to Beat

    Quote from zygis

    Hi,
    I have made a tool for converting MIDI Clock messages to MIDI notes. Usefull when you have some device outputing only MIDI Clock messages and you whant to sync it with DMXControl (map to Beat tool "tap button"). Link [EDIT: link updated]: MidiCtoB.zip


    Feel free to comment.

    Hi Zygis, link seems to be broken, perhaps another one ? Thanks

  • DMXC 3.3.0 RC2: Enttec USB Pro not recognized

    I finally switched to a Chauvet Art-Net to DMX node. Unfortunately, the theater technician did not gave me DMX mapping as soon as necessary and we will use Light Commander MA console ...


    The theater technician said that my system was a "bad quality" system (initially Enttec USB DMX and now Chauvet Art-Net node) but never tell me what was considered as a professional one !


    Does it mean all systems based on PC and DMX interfaces are bad ? What could be a "good" system ? Or is it only a bad thinking of theater technician ?!

  • DMXC 3.3.0 RC2: Enttec USB Pro not recognized

    I tried to "force" DMX Interface directly in DMXInterfaceMgmtConfig.xml file and obtain the following log error in Kernel:

    Code
    20:16:38 ERROR AbstractDMXInterfaceManager - Error loading interface Enttec#02396007: Factory does not know this interface. Please check it is connected and working properly.

    So it's not only an automatic search issue, even by forcing, same result.


    I finally installed another software to create the link between DMXControl and my DMX USB: QLC+. DMXControl send by ArtNet and QLC+ make passthrough to Enttec ! Not sure that it's the best way but it does not require another computer and itomorrow is not the show date, tomorrow is "just" the last rehearsal. Show date is April, the 6th. I should receive an ArtNet to DMX box since the day ...


    Many thanks for your help and don't hesitate if I can perfom some tests about Enttec DMX USB Pro.

    Not sure that log could help, it's attached to this post. EntTec plugin seems to be initialized ...

    Quote from JPK

    Hmmm ok, this is bad news. I don't know, if we have a final solution until tomorrow. BUT: Try the following as some kind of hack: Send Art-Net-Signals with DMXControl 3.3.0 to a second computer with DMXControl 3.2.3. There, just map DMX-In to DMX-Out with the direct mapping. You can find it in the settings of DMXControl 3.2.3 under "Current Project Settings" => DMX-In => DMX-Out. In addition, configure Art-Net as input in DMXControl 3.2.3 and your interface as output.



    I hope, this will help you for the short term. For the long term, I wrote to the other developers internally so we will take a look, why this is not working.

    Ok thanks, why not, it could save the deal ...

  • DMXC 3.3.0 RC2: Enttec USB Pro not recognized

    Hello all,


    I'm sorry to use "URGENT" tag in topic name but it's my situation ... I started to use DMX Control 3.3.0 RC2 with fantastic Timecode show and made a huge set for a show. The last show review live in theater is tomorrow.

    I wanted to check everything today and a big bad surprise ... Initially I used DMX Control 3.2 on my laptop, everything was prepared on desktop with ArtNet and Capture 2024 to simulate.

    But when I want to add my Enttech DMX USB Pro with 3.3.0 RC2, it's just not visible in DMX Interfaces. It works great with DMX Control 3.2 but not recognized in 3.3 !

    I'm totally lost, my whole show is based on Timecode but without Enttech DMX output, it's just not possible.


    I tried on my desktop computer and same issue, Enttech is just not visible.


    With DMXControl 3.2:

    With DMXControl 3.3 RC2:

  • Live Q&A - 4th April 2024 - Question Collection Thread

    Hello team,

    I would like to know if in a future release it could be possible to have an Input assignment wrapper to manager "the current Timecode show": my goal is to select Timecode show and manage start just by pressing my MIDI start button. It's currently possible for one Timecode show and I made an Input assignment bank to manage start, pause, stop and record but it's linked to a unique Timecode show.

    Many thanks for all your job, always a pleasure to use DMXC.

  • Cannot understand howto use MIDI encoders

    Quote from JPK

    I have a question after rechecking it with my MIDI board. Did you actually add the encoder as an encoder control in the MIDI management in DMXControl 3? This should already do the increment / decrement of its value. The knob / encoder on my Native Instruments F1 works as expected after I set it to relative mode and learned it as an encoder control in DMXControl 3. Even with this setting, a turn in one direction increases the encoder value by 0.01 and a turn in the other direction reduces it (while staying in the range between 0 and 1). So maybe your MIDI setting in DMXControl 3 needs to be changed.

    Dear JPK , many thanks, I did not understood that encoders steps settings were in MIDI settings. I added my controller as encoder, right, but with Increment set to 1. But if I'm not misunderstanding, encoder values are always 0 for low and 1 for high. So, by using an increment of 0.01 for example, it works perfectly.

    My initial thinking was that encoder values had to be managed in input assignment because encoder node was only sending 1 or 0 !

    So, many thanks for this help.

    I don't know why you think, there is no direct way to control timecode shows with the Input Assignment. Actually, there is a way (you can see it in the attached screenshot. There you can control the timecode show directly. You can even see the status of this timecode show (state, duration, elapsed time and if it is in recording mode).

    nutzer99 give me the executor way and now, JPK give me another way ... many thanks, it's more than I hope.
