RGB control via a Lighting console

Thanks Oli, I will give this method a try.

Much appreciated!

OK looking at your project file it’s clear to see the confusion here. You’re 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 (it’s 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. (I’d been editing clips but didn’t 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 aren’t 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 I’ve 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 I’ll help you out!)
