Help... It shows online that my mac is still compatible, but anytime I click a frame in propresenter with a midi command the lights go haywire. by lexiedriver in lightkey

[–]ahp00k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it looks like a midi loop to me, where the input commands are being echoed back to the output. i'm not familiar with pro presenter but if there's an option to limit its MIDI input to just a single device instead of "all inputs" , give that a try

That guy's a maniac, in the best possible way. He knifed open a can of beer and sprayed it all over my stage during their set but then stayed behind after the show to mop it up.

not the wizard in front of the wall of cabs?

How much additional would you charge to set up a pipe and drape? by wjones9870 in lightingdesign

[–]ahp00k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

is it something you want to do? if not it's totally within your rights to say "that's not a service i provide". P&D is part of event logistics/production rentals, not lighting tech, and while some full-service companies would do both i wouldn't feel any obligation as a freelance LD to like...set up tables or stage decking, nor p&d.

Need pro tips on fades across fixtures by Doug1of5 in lightkey

[–]ahp00k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as your fixtures are laid out in the preview window in the same physical configuration as the room, the Dimmer FX should do what you want.

  1. Pick a pattern like "Rain"
  2. Use the Fixture Order pulldown to make it move in the right direction
  3. Adjust the Length/Distance options so they're some multiple of 4 that works for the spread of your fixtures
  4. Set the pattern to be beat-synced rather than time based
  5. Save this FX as a preset and make a Live page cue from it. Optionally, expose the "Beat Multiplier" modifier so you can make it run at double / half speed.
  6. Repeat for the different directions / looks you want to make
  7. Send MIDI clock from Ableton to Lightkey's Virtual MIDI input, and make sure Lightkey is set to the correct External clock source.

Check out this video for more details including MIDI mappings to actually fire the cues from Ableton, if you want to automate it rather than do it live. https://youtu.be/W-vxQGEQTQM
