The Lighting Controller

THANK YOU!

also as mentioned above being able to manually enter a shift value. If I ever touch the slider and want to bring it back to 0 it is impossible. The closest I can get is .1%. It skips right over 0.

I had the same idea as well. it's not just saving sceen space, but you have to layout the entire live board according to how you want solo buttons to work, rather than making it look like your controller, for example.

Hello again!

I'm new to lighting. I come from the audio world, where you simply plug in any amount of controllers and they simply work.

If it's worth anything at all, I can't get my two controllers of choice to work with a virtual midi input. It would be REALLY awesome if you could implement this. Not everyone is able to, or should have to, be knowledgeable of how to do that. It is 2016, an artistic software should be able to ...

Hi Matt, thanks for the reply!
I did as you said, and still no luck.

I forgot to mention the process I use when using the APC40 by itself. If you aren't aware, to be used with software other than Ableton, they need to be put into "dummy" mode. This involves starting Ableton, letting it recognize ...

and being able to work with separate sets of lights somehow someway. its hard to create movements that work together with two separate groups of lights
