Controlling Daslight 4 with a PS4 Controller

Hey I would like to control my moving head with a PS4 controller. I have already tried a few software solutions, but unfortunately nothing has worked so far. I would like to convert the signal from the controller into a midi signal. I have already found the software Miditrol which does this excellently, but unfortunately Daslight does not want to accept the midi signal, although a midi viewer shows me that a midi signal is being sent.

Hello,

your idea sounds very interesting!
Perhaps the software MIDI Translator Pro would help you here.
I use this software to change the midi channel and velocity of my midi devices to use it with Daslight.

If I find a little time I would try these also and then came back with some feedback.

So, here's the first result ...

With Bome Midi Translator and Miditrol together, I get the PS4 Controller general working as a MIDI input device in Daslight 4.
But until know it is only a basic function. Now I have to find out which settings i must set in Miditrol to get the right behavior in Daslight. I'll try it the next days ...

That sounds very good. I have not been able to get this to work with MIDITROL and Midi Bome.

That sounds good.
If it's possible it would be great if you could send me the settings for Miditrol.
Thanks in advance :D
