Now go into Shortcuts mode, and assign a shortcut to the Opacity of the Invert RGB effect. You can now strobe the inverted clip, using the Opacity parameter to control the rate. Leave all its parameters alone, but just change the effect's Blend Mode to TimeSwitcher. Let's first set up a fun parameter to play with. You can get even further down the rabbit hole when you assign a button shortcut to a slider parameter. If the shortcut for your button says CC instead of Note, and you don't see the Piano and Invert options, just change the Mode to Button and you'll be golden. I won't bore you with the technical details and a long rant on how this makes no sense.
Nerd alert! For some arcane reason, some controllers (like the NanoKontrol) will send CCs instead of Notes when you press a button. This will let you turn the control OFF while the button is held, and ON when released. Once you enable Piano mode for a shortcut, you also get the option to Invert. If you prefer, you can call this option Momentary or Flash or whatever floats your boat. Piano is easy to remember and reminds you that you're playing an instrument. "But Resolume, that's not how a piano works at all!" Yes, you're right. All buttons in Resolume can be set to Piano mode, which means that they will be on for as long as you hold the key or button down, and turn off when you release it again. Right now, we're only interested in one option, namely "Piano". You'll see a bunch of stuff about Channels, Notes and Midi Output. You can also choose different options for your selected control. In this tab, you can see all your shortcuts in a handy list. This tab is only visible while you're in Shortcuts mode. In the bottom right of the interface, you'll see the Shortcuts tab. Go back into Shortcut mode, and select the Composition Bypass again. Press the Escape key to exit the Shortcut mode, and you can now bash your shortcut to toggle the Composition Bypass on and off. Maybe something on the corners of your controller?Įither way, press the button and voila, you've assigned your first shortcut! If the Bypass button was big enough, you could even read which shortcut was assigned to it. Ideally you can find it without looking down. I suggest to use a button that's easy to find on your controller. Now press the control you want to use for this. So find the Composition Bypass button in the top left of the interface and click on it with the mouse. For MIDI shortcuts, we went with a nice pastelly cyan.Įverything that has changed color can have a shortcut assigned to it. You create shortcuts by opening the Shortcuts menu, and choosing which protocol you want to create a shortcut for. This is useful as a sort of panic button ("oh no, get it off mah screen!"), or to create tension before a big drop. So when we use that shortcut, the whole output should go black. We want a shortcut for the blackout button. If nothing is showing up here, something is wrong with your MIDI controller. If you're seeing messages come in here, but Resolume is not doing anything with them, something is wrong with your shortcut setup. Resolume will show you all the MIDI messages it's receiving from all enabled controllers. Tip! Not sure if your MIDI controller is working or not? Fold out the MIDI monitor on the right of the MIDI Preferences. You do this via the MIDI tab of the Preferences.įor now, all you need to do here is toggle on MIDI Input and MIDI Output for the device you want to use. The only difference is you need to let Resolume know you've got a MIDI controller connected first. You can assign shortcuts for your MIDI controller in exactly the same way as you do for your keyboard.

In this chapter, we'll show you how to control Resolume with a MIDI controller. If you're running Arena, you can also use DMX input from a lighting desk. Resolume supports external control via your computer keyboard, MIDI controllers and OSC messages.
Except this time, you get to decide what the shortcuts are.
Sort of like how CTRL-C and CTRL-V are shortcuts for copy-pasting. You use shortcuts to assign a button on your computer keyboard or MIDI controller to a control in Resolume. Sometimes, you want an exact thing to happen at an exact moment, without having to scroll and search for it with the mouse. But during a live performance, you'll want to have more control than what the mouse can offer. You can access every parameter and set it with precision. Controlling Resolume with the mouse is great.
