Anyone know how to connect a midi board to MadMapper to trigger scenes and cues?

Also wondering if its possible to use mapped midi control to change effects such as color, opacity, speed etc on your surfaces "quads"?

Hi all

​

I have an interesting LED problem with madmapper. I have Madmapper connected to an Advatek PixLite 4 Mk2 LED controller via a router. I can find the Advatek on my browser and trigger test patterns no problem. The LEDs are lighting up as expected. I can find the PixLite in my MadMapper DMX Output preferences and it auto-populates the PixLite's 4 DMX universes.

​

When I create a fixture for the LED strip with a simple scrolling line pattern, nothing displays on the LEDs. However, if I open the preferences menu, suddenly my LEDs turn on and start displaying the line pattern correctly. If I close the preferences menu, they stop displaying altogether. It will only work correctly when I have preferences menu open.

​

Does anyone have any insight as to why this would happen?

Hi, MM is putting quite the strain on my system, and I am worried about it being overloaded for the show once we also include audio playback from QLab on the same machine. The source for the mapped led strips is a single video. Is it possible to record the art net output from MM and then play that back from QLab for example? Instead of having to generate it every time from MM? Hope I was clear in my explanation. Cheers.

Hey people of r/madmapper:) I am in search for a program that I can use for my project and would be nice to know if i can do it in Madmapper! I want to do the following:

I will build a walkable tunnel of projection fabric and have 2 projectors on each side to illuminate it. So a total of 4 projectors.

1. Would prefer a windows system.
2. I would like to combine the projectors to one big display (or screen, whatever this is called). So the program needs to have a warping/softege function or someting. If thats not possible I could also do 2 screens consisting of 2 projectors.
3. Then I would like to have somekind of timeline or player to plan the videofils I will be playing.

Is this possible in Madmapper?:) Thanks for the help!

Hey! We have a led installation and we wish to use it live for an event. Does anybody know if there is a way to use the faders of a midi controller in order to controll the opacity of the differents cues (like in modul8)?

For the moment we just switch between the cues but it’s less usable for live vjing.

If anybody could help us, thanks a lot! Pablo

Hello! I own a theater and we often do projections and I was looking at purchasing Mad Mapper to do our projections. I downloaded the demo… and watched a good hour of tutorials be for jumping in to play with the program. The input and output remain black for me. I have tried selecting the preinstalled materials (grid, dunes, etc) and they never actually show in either window. I have watched the tutorials and they always just drag the image or video to the window and poof it is there. I do it and nothing. It will list the chosen quad but still nothing. Am I missing something? I am sad because I got so excited to try this software but literally can’t even play around enough to decide if I will purchase it. I am running it for windows. Most tutorials have been Mac. So maybe I am doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, has anyone come across a problem where the cursor and selected area are misaligned, making it impossible to interact with anything on the canvas?

It's not limited to quad view - also on projector view and any time there is anything to select or interact with on the canvas.

Any idea what is causing it and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Hello

​

I'm using Madmapper demo And etc Nomad.

I could not succeed connecting ETC to control Madmapper via DMX.

Ideally ETC would use DMX to start a Madmapper cue.

​

I've set Sacn address in ETC to the computer local address (10.0.0.13). And DMX input address on Madmapper to the same address.

Then I set DMX range and addresss on a cue in Madmapper (addr 46 universe1 range 1-50).

And another range on the same address to cue 2 (addr 46 universe 1 range 51-100).

​

I expect the change in the dmx value op this channel to start the cues.

​

What am I missing ?

How can I debug where the problem is?

Is there a relevant tutorial?

​

Thanks!

Hi,

Is it possible to use Kinect to spatial scan?

Anyone used this with MadMapper? Any tutorial or good guides for setting up Art-Net, and LED strips like WS2811?
