In This forum you can discuss tips, tricks, and troubleshooting for Elation's Next Generation Compu Live software, "Compu Show".

Okay, first off, I'm a little frustrated that there is still no manual for Compu Show, even though someone said in this forum it would be done in January. I've been wrestling with this software learning it on my own.

The most frustrating thing so far is that I cannot map out buttons or switches to a midi controller! There are certain things you can right click on, and it gives you the option of linking to the midi controller. But the things I need linked the most do not give me the option to link. These things, like switches, you can only link to your computer keyboard. Please somebody at Elation tell my why I can only link my computer keyboard and not my midi keyboard?

You can link anything to a midi command. Shift and right click the switch or scene. in the list that appears select link to console then chose button activation and then the waiting for midi command window will appear and you should then be able to press a button on your midi device and it will assign itself to that button.
Which release date of compu show are you using?

I do apologize for the delay on the manual. I am the only one writing it and there is a lot more on this program to go over and there are also newer features/functions coming that have yet to be added to the manual. My apologies.
Sincerely,
Wow James, thanks a lot for that swift reply. That totally makes up for not having the manual done yet, haha. I'm sure there is a lot to cover. I've edited a Pro Tools training book, so I kind of get what you're going through. Sorry for my aggravated tone in the original post. I have been going through trial and error with this software, but I'm really starting to get it. If the shift - right click to link midi works, I will be one happy camper!

Oh, and I'm using the January 2011 release.
