It should tell you В»found: OHM64 Control SurfaceВ« on top of the button matrix. A startup screen appears and after three seconds you should see the OHM2Resolume interface. Then open MAX/MSP (I am using v6.0.8 for development) and open В»OHM2Resolume 0.89a.maxpatВ«. Connect your OHM64 to your Mac before you launch MAX/MSP. You should be presented a folder with a file called В»OHM2Resolume 0.89a.maxpatВ« (it is marked in green). Download the latest version 0.89a and unzip it.

Clean up: Improved some unnecessary code.

#Controlling lights with resolume 5 Patch#

Bugfix: Triggering buttons on the GUI were sent out to the patch twice, resulting in overhead.

Bugfix: patcher would light up buttons but not pass MIDI from OHM64.

Bugfix: Fixed link in help section to вЂћDashboard correctвЂњ.

Bugfix: buffer exceeds when recording with sequencer.

Bugfix: change port and ip of OSC-connection.

Bugfix: Resolume sends BPM changes, resync and pause to OHM2Resolume via OSC.

Change: Minor changes on MIDI Mapping (xml/jpeg).

Change: Sequencer listens to BPM changes and resync made from within Resolume.

Change: minor design changes on UI elements and the size of the patcher window (smaller).

Good for making changes available to the button matrix, after making changes in Resolume Arena/Avenue and saving the resaving the comp.

New: added a button next to the вЂћreadвЂњ button, to quickly reload the current comp.

New: added drop-down menu to select compositions from last opened folder.

New: changed logo from zweifarbton to tschoepler.

If the patch canвЂ™t find your controller, try button select manually.

Next start Resolume again and you should be good to go wild.

After a few seconds, depending on the size of your comp, the buttons in the patch and on your Ohm64 should light up.

Press button read to import the Resolume composition of your choice.

Set the MIDI channel in the drop-down list вЂњMidi outвЂќ that Resolume listens to.

Now connect the Ohm64 to your machine and open either OHM2Resolume x.xx.maxpat or MAIN.maxpat (Development versions).

This channel we will set in OHM2Resolume later. Also set a MIDI channel to listen to for incoming messages.

Then set Resolume to listen to OSC on port 7000 and send on 7001.

IвЂ™ll implement some basic MIDI mapping feature sooner or later. Although there are some specific buttons which are hard-coded for now.

Open вЂњOHM64.xmlвЂќ inside of Resolume Avenue/Arena via preferences > midi > load вЂ¦ This is just a sample to get you started.

Open 7z files with either 7-zip (Windows) or The Unarchiver (OS X).Д«oth applications are free for use (OpenSource). Documentation Part 2 Documentation Part 1 Downloads And if that helps you express what you want in a visual performance, thatвЂ™s the real bottom line.

(See the full details below.) But the important message here, to me, is what you can do with smart controller mapping. A Max patch actually parses the Avenue setup file, and provides interactive feedback on details like clip position on each deck. In this case, this is more than just a simple control layout. See part 1 and 2 after the jump, to see its evolution.

In a way, itвЂ™s a wordless tutorial for how to use the combination.

Here, we see German YouTube user Tschoepler put those controls to good use, combining the Ohm with the Mac/Windows Resolume Avenue VJ software (seen here on Windows).

That means that its split-layout design is quite ideal for visual performance. The monome-style grid does indeed lend itself well to triggering, but you also need parameter control for mixing different channels and controlling parameters like effects. Trigger, mix, effectsвЂ¦ there are certain things you need to do as a visualist, and the combination of buttons with faders and encoders on the Ohm64 controller from Livid was clearly designed by visualists. I think Peter Kern from CreateDigitalMotion has given a nice rГ©sumГ©: So I started with some basic XML-parsing and added on top of it to get more complex control over the software. I was tired of not getting any LED-Feedback on my MIDI-Controller when performing in a usually dark surrounding called club. OHM2Resolume is a MAX project to make LividвЂ™s MIDI-controller OHM64 talk to ResolumeвЂ™s VJ-application Avenue and vice verca.
