![]() ![]() Just like you can hit the bump buttons to make the submasters go Ableton Live can do the same thing through MIDI Show Control commands. So one song that would have been 50-100 cues was simply 23 presets triggered remotely in different arrangements. This even allowed us to divide up the programming between several people. I was able to focus on lighting looks and programming the lighting console while other people carefully placed cues into Ableton Live to trigger the lights.Ĭonnectivity was pretty simple as well. In fact only the lighting console itself had a physical MIDI cable plugged into it. The rest of the machines received MIDI commands over the network using Apple’s Audio MIDI setup that’s built into the OS. We have used this a lot and it has proved to be very reliable provided that you have a good network connection and not a lot of network congestion. We created our our network just for these machines in order to make sure everything worked as fast as possible. Everything in the lighting booth was hard wired together and the two remote machines connected over the wireless N WifI network. My buddy WIll Doggett and I put together this short video where he walks through the setup. We just set up some projectors for our next Night of Worship. We rented three 12,000 lumen projectors and blended the image together resulting in about a 70′ wide by 18′ tall image. #PROVIDEOPLAYER 2 MIDI ABLETON PRO#Įverything is being fed from a MacBook Pro running ProVideoPlayer using a Triple Head 2 Go. We have 18 songs tonight, about 118 video cues in PVP. Lighting will be fairly simple since we’re not hazing the room but will compliment the videos.īlending the three projectors is fairly straightforward. ![]() We’re not edge blending where the three projectors overlap a little. I’m using the existing architecture on our back wall to try and hide the seems. ![]() So where there’s already a break in the wall that’s where I have the projectors meet. One day when we have our permanent setup everything will be blended and keystone corrected to perfection, ha ha. Since these are rented projectors I kinda have a checklist in my head for setting them up. Who knows how they were used last so I have to go through each one and make sure they’re set up right. I check for front projection mode so my image isn’t backwards. Then I check the image settings like color and brightness. ![]()
