When using Resolume as the Master Clock, how do I trigger different clips specifically using MIDI messages from my hardware synths/drum machines for it to then trigger DMX lights?

Hi there,

I'm planning on doing a very impromptu performance with pre-made clips, but I'd also like to add effects over those clips -- but the main plan is to not have a lightning controller, but to trigger clips and lighting effects associated with those clips by triggering them through, for example, drum machine patterns or melody sequences on my hardware sequencer, whilst keeping Resolume as the Master Clock to keep it all in sync.

I'm struggling to wrap around my head to this as a lot of the gear I have isn't based in Ableton or anything, so could someone run me through what's best to get this done? I think from reading around, I'd probably just assign Program Change messages to the columns to play different clips... I think that's simple enough, but the DMX stuff is a bit of a dizzying thing, I'm probably overcomplicating this.

Thanks.

Hello,

I've been trying to figure this out:

It looks so similar to a DX-series but it's definitely not because there's only 10 green buttons and they are closely sitting together -- I'm leaning towards a Yamaha synth, or maybe an Ensoniq.

There's quite a lot of sliders and buttons on the left too, this is an absolute mystery.

What I did notice in the video is that the guy seems to be controlling an S900 with this synth -- a potential MIDI keyboard maybe?

Thanks.
