| + | ====== Introduction ====== | ||
| + | Well, it's pretty simple really. \\ | ||
| + | A control surface giving you access to the shortcut functions in [[http://www.enttec.com/index.php?main_menu=Products&prod=70500&show=description|Light Factory]], without spending thousands on the Enttec wings. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | In theory in can support up to 128 buttons, but has only been tested with 32. \\ | ||
| + | 25 banks are available, with support for 600 shortcuts (could easily be expanded if need be). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Buttons can change their function with the bank, or can be fixed for your most common shortcuts. | ||
| + | |||
| + | We built it with 24 buttons in the banks. 6 fixed buttons and 2 buttons for bank up / bank down. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Software ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The controller relies almost entirely on Light Factory's MIDI support.\\ | ||
| + | Pressing buttons sends a calculated note on / off event. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Pressing button 1 in bank 1 sends note on C -1 on channel 1, releasing will send the same event with note off. \\ | ||
| + | notes 0 (C -1) to 119 (B 8) are used before the channel is automatcally increased. \\ | ||
| + | Channels 1 - 6 are used by the banks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Channel 16 is used by the fixed buttons. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are no user editable settings in the controller. \\ | ||
| + | The LCD displays the current bank. As well as the note, octave and channel of the last pressed button to help setting up light factory's MIDI triggers. | ||
