Controll DasLight with Joystick

Post by LinusC64 »

Hi,
i have a little problem, now i had buy an Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and try to put it into DasLight, but my Midi-Preference dosen't show the Controller. The Wondows driver show my, that the Controller works perfectly, but des Light-Controler doesn' reconised the Hardware. at the Forum here i can read, the Controler works perfetly. what is Wrong with my Setup?

please dont fix your Eyes on my bad English.

Hello,

I don't see any MIDI feature written in the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro presentation. Are you sure it is a MIDI device ?

Regards,
TomHat

Hi LinusC64,

as TomHat mentioned, the Logitech Joystick isn't a native MIDI Controller.
To use it with Daslight you have to use some tools like Bome MIDI Translator Pro and/or MIDItrol.
You can read about in this post.

But this doing is a "non-supported doing" and is not official supported by Daslight!

Hi,

you could control the Pan/Tilt from a movinghead live if you use the software i mentioned in my thread.
This software "converts" your logitech to a virtuell midi device which will recognized then from Daslight4.

Without such a tool, you aren't able to control your movingheads with your logitech device.
