New to Resolume Arena 7 and having difficulties with how MIDI works in this version.

When performing my controllers seem to have multiple functions even though I set them carefully each for a specific single use. It’s as though the controllers are now layer dependent and can change functions ...

Yeah its not a real solid, which means that I can make full use of any font family inmy system to fake 3D text .. DocOptic has a neat workaround, it looks like there could be a way with the linear cloner tool, thanks!

From time to time I switch to using Arena 5 because of an old plugin that I made for 3D text, built in quartz composer, can Arena 7 help me do the same kind of type effects via 'Wire'? Are there any third party plugins that can help me do this with similar ...

Thanks Zoltan,
So does each composite mode have its own numeric value that can be targeted by a midi shortcut?
Does it take a bit of guesswork to find the midi value specific to each composite mode?

I am working with Arena 6 and having difficulty changing my workflow from Arena 5.
It used to be easy to swap between two chosen comppsite modes for any layer with the click of a single midi button. Now in Arena 6 I have no control of this, I have a midi value assigned to the composite layer button ...

All the content is a mix of HD and 4K. So can I import 4K video as my content and use a composition setting of 4K and then slice this up and output it to a different size (e.g. 7680x1080) ? Is that correct ? I had always beleived that my imported video had to fit within the output display ...

I have a set that requires an output of 7680 X 1080, some of the video content has been provided to me by the organisers to map to the stage and is a resolution of 3840 X 2160 /4K. The content will require a lot of slicing to fit the various LED screens.

What do you think would be best - To ...

I have a question about resolutions this has always confused me, and maybe someone can clear this up for me once and for all.. If for example I use a 1920 X 1080 video and output it mirrored 4 times across a display of 7680 X 1080, does it take the same processing power as if I was playing 4 layers ...

Thanks for the suggestions folks, the HDBaseT 2.0 definitely looks the way to go, I will see what I can find although I am living in Brazil at the moment and high end technology is always a limiting factor.
Ideas are developing and now the organiser would like a secondary space outside with ...

For the past XX years I have been in the lucky position of working via a technical rider, contacting event production teams who know what they are doing in advance and making sure everything is set to go, for when myself and the artist I work with arrive for line checks.

Time to step up my game ...
