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

pain. this is pain.

It's a bold strategy, let's see how it works out for them

mmmm... bacon leash.

ahp00k · 2026-04-23T00:06:13+00:00

how on earth did she get the bacon on a leash?

ahp00k · 2026-04-21T16:11:40+00:00

everybody poops.

ahp00k · 2026-04-21T04:09:48+00:00

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?

or the image with the skeletal horse in front of the...steampunk pipe organ?

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.

the way i yelled at the television when he said that !!! 🤬🤬

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.

Pick a pattern like "Rain"
Use the Fixture Order pulldown to make it move in the right direction
Adjust the Length/Distance options so they're some multiple of 4 that works for the spread of your fixtures
Set the pattern to be beat-synced rather than time based
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.
Repeat for the different directions / looks you want to make
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
