Schedule Scenes

Post by EricssonStudio »

Hi!

Just moved to daslight after outgrowing cuety.

I have a question about scheduling, is there any way to play a bunch of scenes in the morning, some others at lunch and so forth? The installation is a permanent showroom so I want some areas to be running scheduled and some depending on events.

If there isn't the plan is to have a crestron system do the scheduling and output midi commands to trigger the scenes, but thats a big workaround and extra hardware. Maybe there is some standalone windows program that can schedule midi cc's?

After using the program a bit i have some feature request.

1. its not stable, had 3 crashes in two days.
2. In the 2d fixture layout box, you should be able to add background picture. then you can quickly add a building plan or some shapes of the room and get a decent workable layout without messing with the 3d visualizer.
3. Trigger parameters on clips such as times/dates

cheers!

I have made the scheduling by using windows scheduler running a free program called sendmidi. So it sends some midi CC at fixed times of the day and those CCs trigger the scenes i want playing. Not the smoothest, but the best option i found.

you also need a loopback program if its the same computer used, I used loopmidi http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html

So i made three .bat files (morning, lunch, evening) with the sendmidi commands i wanted and then i just use windows schedulre to run the bat files.

Without using the GUI to work with such a program on forces only for geeks ...
I only found something similar, but only for audio without the ability to play MIDI notes http://www.da-share.com/software/audio-scheduler/
