The Lighting Controller

I have never posted on a forum in my life so u can imagine how stupid this is going to sound but here it goes!

I have used this software for years & luv it. I have always just created pre made scenes & then moved them into the live show & had somebody else run the software when we play live. So basically I may have a scene with all the light on blue, then the next scene on the chorus be my moving light moving in a figure 8. I hope that makes sense.


We are now playing with tracks & to a click so I would like to program this via midi (which I am pretty good at). I'm using cubase. I can't get my head around how to program now so everything is in time with the click & moving in time.
Do I make a midi note for each color, a midi note for each movement, gobo, etc. Or is there an easier way? Or do I just keep making or using my presets that I have made? They wouldn't be quit in time, I'm just not getting it I guess. Any help would be great. Thanks so much.

I am using 4- accu spot 250 in back of stage
4- chauvet color tracks in front of stage
4-par 56 washes controlled by a dimmer pack

It is possible to trigger each button with a midi note.
right click on button > menu "button trigger" > check option "midi" > adjust channel and note

Can someone explain to me the best way to run this software using midi? Please

Hi Matthew,

You can set this up really easily, all you have to do is take the scenes that you have already made and assign a midi trigger to them. You do this in the program "live" if you:

right click on button > menu "button trigger" > check option "midi"

you can simply select what midi note the scene responds to.

You then can trigger these from your click track by just sending note on messages.
