Thanks Oli, I will give this method a try.
Much appreciated!
OK looking at your project file itās clear to see the confusion here. Youāre setting parameters on a clip, but you need to add those parameters to an effect.
My recommendation would be to
- Move the colour change effect to slot 1 (itās normally slot 8)
- Edit the effect and add the 2 additional parameters to the colour change node.
Now you can control the level and HSB for that effect with the control change messages I mentioned earlier.
(I will be adding this to the default effects soon as well)
Any more questions let me know!
Thanks for your patience with me! I just learned you can edit effects. (Iād been editing clips but didnāt realize you could reorder and edit effects too!)
I now have my effect edited as you suggested and relocated to effect 1:
Now when I change colors in my 3rd party program, I can actually see changes in the Parameter sliders! Here is a Red example:
and green:
What a huge relief to see external midi making impact in the software! Only trouble is that the lasers themselves arenāt changing, leading me to think I goofed up the effect change somehow. Thanks for helping me get the correct parameters in any case. How do I get these changes to impact the clips themselves, now that Iāve got external midi data impacting the effects?
Cool, did you turn the effect on? Use the on screen button or set the level to 127 via midi control message 0
Yes, I tried setting the level to full and using the button on the apc40, both to no effect.
Got this working. Thanks so much Seb! (If anyone else needs help getting Chataigne working via Module Router, please let me know and Iāll help you out!)
Hi, Iām trying to use get my Chamsys MQ250 to output midi and assign to an effect so I can sync with LD when I want, but turn it off for my own color control. Iāve read through this and am struggling with the Chataigne side of things. Has anyone done this from a console? Much appreciated
I started working on a video tutorial for using Chataigne to map MIDI controllers and DMX to Liberation. Then I heard about the upcoming Liberation release with a refreshed MIDI system. Once that version is released, I will publish a comprehensive guide on this.
@deepplayanyc would you be willing to share your rgb2hsv script? And have you made any progress on your Liberation module for Chataigne? I was going to make one until I saw your post, and now I would rather wait for the new Liberation version to build a more futureproof module.
I look forward to seeing what youāve made. Iāve been working on a basic python app that is automating some controls of Liberation taking bpm/cues/genre data/rms out of showkontrol and controlling Liberation via midi automation. Will share aswell when it is complete
