Re:Korg Nano Kontrol.Another midi question

The ones you are trying to hold on or toggle off and on are they scenes or switches?

I think maybe I am not quite understanding what's going on?

Sincerely,

I'm using them for switches and faders for speeds. Looks like I just needed to flip around some true/falses. Seems to be working the way I'd like it.

ok glad you got it.

Well I thought I got it???? So here is what I would like to do- I want to have the pads hold when I select them..Ex. Lets say I assign "red" as a switch to a pad, as it is when I do this it releases when I let go. What steps do I need to do so that when I press the pad it holds without holding it down?

I think it was working like this yesterday, but when I started up today went back to releasing when I Let go.

Here's a little more detail if this helps. I would like to assign colors/gobos/prism.....from the fixture page to pads for use with running the lights live. In the settings for each attribute they are selected as switches. I am wanting also to assign switches from the master page to pads(dimmer chases, shutter chases.....) And then have he speeds and such assigned to rotaries and faders. I would like to press a pad to turn on, and then press the pad a second time to turn off or move to another pad to override.

Thank you very much!

Do you know how to go into the midi properties of the trigger from the MAP on the program and edit them? I can try to post some screen caps.
Getting switches to toggle on/off is easy but Scenes are a whole different battle haha.
Sincerely,

Not sure how to do that. I'm pretty good with verbal instructions if you just post some written instructions in list form.

I just want to assign switches as I have scenes hot keyed. Just trying to make live performance quicker and easier.

Thanks!

I think I figured it out. Right click on the button activation in midi setup in the live menu. Active level=On/Off, Inactive level=None. Does this make sense? Seems to work.

Yup I think that is it. Also those pre generated effects. The rainbow one doesn't seem to do anything for fixtures with just a color wheel. I think we are still adding some effects to these buttons.

Also the easiest way to assign speed control and dimmer control is to use the function "selected page" and "Selected button. Or link it to just the master page dimmer ,speed knobs and use only switches in that page when you trigger switches with the pads. Does that make sense? If you want you can give me a call or email me your number at jamesk at Elation lighting dot com and i will call you when I can. Sound good?
Sincerely,

If I can figure out just this one thing, I'm gonna be super stoked. I want to control scene and switch speeds independently from each other. Here's what I'm seeing.....The only way to control speed is using master speed on the page when I use hot keys or midi controller, unless I use the cursor to select a scene or switch, then the attributes of whatever I select come up(speed/dim/phase/size). Is there way to do this without using the cursor to select, or am I doomed to buying a touchscreen.

Example-Lets say I have circles"scene" running, but then want to throw on a dimmer chase"switch" As the sequence is running, I want to speed the dimmer chase without speeding up the circles.

Any ideas as how I can do this without selecting the scenes and switches using the cursor and instead use my hot keys and midi?

If I am understanding this correctly, you want to adjust a parameter ie speed, size ,dimmer, etc on the fly but do not want to have to click the button to get it to come up?
I know you can add a knob to any button on the fixture page. simply hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard and select any or all of the following. "Show Faders: Dimmer, speed, Size, Phasing" and that will add a colored knob to the button. you could then add a midi trigger to that specific knob without having to trigger the button.
Let me know how this goes as I am about 98% sure that will work for what you are trying to do.
Sincerely,

Been a while since my last visit. I will try this, now I really can't wait to get a larger control surface!
