And when the node is disconnected, your shortcuts don't disappear with it. You use them to create virtual inputs and configure your signal flow, before you actually connect to any Art-Net nodes. Lumiverses exist only inside Resolume, hence the name Lumi-verse. 'Lumiverse? Excuse me? Don't you know it's called Universe? Oh ma gaah, these video guys don't know anything!' Holy crap, what do you need so many controls for? If you need more than 512 channels, you can create another Lumiverse via New Input. So if your desk supports Artpoll, it should pop right up. Tip! After creating a new input, Resolume will let all nodes on the network know that it has an input available. Otherwise, you can set up your desk to send Art-Net on the same Subnet/Universe. If you know which Subnet/Universe your desk is sending on, you can set Resolume to that here. It will default to Subnet/Universe 0:0, which is the first available universe. You can assign which Subnet/Universe Resolume should start listening for Art-Net.

If you're familiar with configuring Art-Net and all that stuff, just read on for the Resolume side of things.Ĭreate a new DMX input via the New Input button in the bottom. Tip! If configuring Art-Net is completely new to you, there's some nitty gritty technical stuff about IPs, subnet masks and interface adapters below. We think that Art-Net over ethernet is the more reliable and future proof option. You'll always need a box using a protocol to convert it to something that your computer can understand. The point I was trying to make was that if you're sending DMX with a 5 or 3 pin XLR cable, you can't plug that into your computer anyway.

In my defense, I'm a video guy and when you say 'terminator', I only think of sending a robot back in time to prevent an uprising in the future, thereby causing a time paradox which results in that very same uprising and a series of increasingly disappointing sequels. To be honest, I had no idea what the abbreviation stood for, and I mistakenly thought that if you send it along a cable which needs a terminator to avoid reflections, the source is also analog. 'You know you just said 'analog Digtal MultipleX', right?'

Instead of mucking about with USB dongles that all work differently, find yourself a nice little DMX to Art-Net box, and you'll be golden. Well, I'm pretty sure your computer doesn't have a DMX port either, so if you're sending analog DMX, you're going to need to convert it to digital one way or another. 'But Resolume, my desk doesn't support Art-Net. You do this via the DMX tab of the Preferences. The only difference is you'll use Art-Net instead of MIDI, so you'll need to let Resolume know you're sending Art-Net to it first. You can assign DMX shortcuts exactly the same way as you do for your keyboard or a MIDI controller.

In this chapter, we'll show you how to control Resolume from a lighting desk. If you're running Arena, you can also use DMX input from a lighting desk. Resolume supports external control via your computer keyboard, MIDI controllers and OSC messages. Except this time, you get to decide what the shortcuts are. Sort of like how CTRL-C and CTRL-V are shortcuts for copy-pasting. You use shortcuts to assign a button on your computer keyboard or MIDI controller to a control in Resolume. Sometimes, you want an exact thing to happen at an exact moment, without having to scroll and search for it with the mouse. But during a live performance, you'll want to have more control than what the mouse can offer. You can access every parameter and set it with precision. Controlling Resolume with the mouse is great.
