Ohm64 as a Lighting Console?

June 17, 2010
Tags: , ,

We were recently contacted by Cuelux a company that makes software based lighting control for controlling intelligent, conventional, and LED lighting (that bit was take right from their site). They wanted to create native support for the Ohm64 to work with their software, for a complete hardware and software lighting solution. We have seen a lot of people using the block and Ohm64 for lighting, but it’s often a customized solution. Cuelux now offers a out of the box solution for controlling lights with the Ohm64.

We are really excited to see this, as the intention behind the design of the Ohm64 and block was to provide an adaptable instrument for many uses, and this illustrates just that. We now have auto mappings for Ableton Live, Propellerhead’s Reason and Record, Traktor, Cell DNA, ArKaos’ Grand VJ, and now Cuelux. Cuelux offers plug-and-play support of MIDI control surfaces to provide you with low-cost ‘hands-on’ fader control using the Ohm64. We already know of a few users out there using Cuelux with their Livid controllers, and they have an active discussion over on their forums if you have any questions. Their software is free to try, so if you own and Ohm64 or block and are looking for a flexible and low-cost lighting solution, check them out!

Ohm64 and GrandVJ Auto Mapping

January 22, 2010

Arkaos has just released a new version of Grand VJ with support for the Ohm64. The nice people over at Arkaos have taken our controller and added native support for it by creating a template that automatically maps the controller to the software and send messages back and forth to show the playback status. Setting it up and using it is very easy, but I made a video anyway to show just how easy it is.

Midi Learn for the OHM

January 8, 2010

This is a method for quick midi learning and OHM feedback for MAX MSP using the OHM64. The purpose of the abstractions are to 1: Take midi input from the OHM. 2: Remap the note on/off buttons to human readable words like F1 (for function key 1) etc. 3: Create different behaviours for the buttons (i.e. note on / off for the 8*8 matrix, toggles for the other buttons. 4: Link this directly into the preset system with autopattr. 5. Feedback state to the OHM.

Requires, mp.assignment2 and mp.midin, all included in the zip file. Beta work but worth handing over now to see if the community wish to improve it.
