MIDI fader control

pixelite · Post by **pixelite** » Thu Nov 21, 2013 4:16 pm

I'm using a MIDI control panel with DVC3. As far as I can see, you can only assign faders to MIDI channels if you have some, or all of the fixtures selected. This means when you are focusing a group of moving lights, you can't change the parameters of each light seperately as the MIDI fader continues to select all fixtures.
Is it possible to set up the MIDI control so that it controls the parameter of the light or lights that are selected, rather than all of them?
Thanks everyone!

Have you tried assigning on the general tab?

I don't think that will help. I want to be able to select the first light and use 2 midi wheels for pan and tilt, then deselect that light, select the second light and use the same wheels to focus it as well- like the encoder wheels on a moving light desk, when you are using the "next" button.
I'm using a midi controller with 8 faders and 8 rotary knobs.if I could set it up so that each midi fader controlled a different function; colour gobo etc and then select the lights to control, that would be amazing.
Thanks.

Thats what I have really really been hoping too. It would help so much. Can i assign many midi keys to a fixture? Havent tried it but that would also help alot cause could make at least groups...

in previous versions this was not the case, we can do something about Simon?

Thank you.
