Gig went well, but ended up just using the laptop straight away. Hey thanks man, you're a real classy guy for sticking with this thread and helping me out here, appreciate that. Sorry dude, almost talking to myself in this thread here, trying to apply the logic between incoming MIDI note and the mapping of that function and DMX channel in FS. And if you plug a note in next to it, that should be enough to move those functions in FS. So when I had defined my fixtures and profiles, I told FS which channel is RGB, and then it is probably mapped to this MIDI menu. I am guessing that FS takes care of this based on function. So should I not plug in some of those channel numbers next to the matching functions and MIDI notes ? How will the MIDI window know what DMX channel to trigger based on incoming MIDI note. In reality I think it is only a 9 channel fixture, but my backup console was laid out in groups of 16 channels per light, so did it that way in case I had to fall back on that console in case of FS or laptop failure. I have 6 LED fixtures that are spaced out every 16 DMX channels. Perhaps I should give you an example of my layout, to make you understand what I am trying to do, and I am guessing this should be how most people have things setup. OK, gonna keep hacking away, some sort of combination in that FS MIDI window has got to allow the light to react to the incoming MIDI data. If that an FS limitation with the way the color channels are named for RGB in MIDI ? Bottom left has RGBW colors, but Red slider (15) is mapped to Cyan channel, Green slider (16) mapped to Magenta channel, Blue slider (17) mapped to Yellow channel, and White slider (18) mapped to White channel (this last one seems to make sense). The other thing I am trying to understand in your layout. Now why it does not move within FS is a complete baffle to me, and I am sure has something to do with that FS Midi window. I looked up your Submaster MIDI values, and when I hit UP or DOWN on the app, those are the values that come in. Now the good news is that I see the note and value moving. If you do not go into the FS MIdi window, then NO OUTPUT is used by default on both input and output, and MIDI comm remains disabled until you hit START. I just realized that leaving that FS MIdi window open gives me my troubleshooting tool, once you set the input and output in FS to the TouchOSC Bridge, and then hit START, things wake up on the FS side and MIDI comm starts between the two.
