Good afternoon folks! We’re investing in a dLive system and I’m in the process of building a show that includes controlling external DSP parameters by way of the midi strips. (I’ll be using Live Professor 2 as a DSP host, i/o via Dante, using insert B, with a backup scene that kills insert in the event of host fail.)
Here’s what i’d like to do: have a 12-strip bank of midi strips that contextually control inserts for up to 12 insert chains. I’ll do this by way of keeping the midi strip messages the same, but contextually remapping them within Live Professor, for instance, PAFL button 1 will select Vox insert chain 1, and now all of the faders/rotaries/buttons are controlling various parameters of inserts on vox chain 1. PAFL 2 changes focus to vox chain 2, and so forth.
Where this gets squirrelly: if I’m going to go this route, I really need to also change the names of the rotary encoders depending on context/focus. I know I can change the name of each actual strip. Is there a way to do this with the rotaries? …and if not, I would absolutely put in a feature request for this!!!
(Fwiw, I will also have a touch-screen nearby in order to access those controls, but it would be nice not to have to leave the console/have that option without it being confusing.)
