I have an LED setup with three columns of LEDs.
I would like to map three different MIDI buttons in piano mode to turn these columns on and off. In effect, as long as I hold button A down, column A is on. When I stop pressing button A, column A turns off. The same for columns B and C.
I have used the Solid Color source to fill in each of the columns. There are three copies of Solid Color; each of them fills one column. All copies are on the same layer. After assigning the three copies of Solid Color to three different MIDI notes, I am able to turn the clips on. But I cannot set the clip itself to piano mode so the clips will not turn off when I release the key.
I can, however, use Piano Mode on the clip's opacity. This way, when I release the key, the clip will still be selected, but at least it will be invisible. Works for me.
Now to my problem: The MIDI mapping for opacity across the three clips appears to be shared. In fact, even copies in different layers now have the same MIDI note control opacity. How do I make Resolume not do that?
How to assign different MIDI notes to opacity of copies of the same clip?

Re: How to assign different MIDI notes to opacity of copies of the same clip?
If you select those clips and you right-click or go to the clip menu there is a trigger style option that you can set to piano for clips. It's not done through the midi shotcut panel but through the clip settings.After assigning the three copies of Solid Color to three different MIDI notes, I am able to turn the clips on. But I cannot set the clip itself to piano mode so the clips will not turn off when I release the key.
If you assign a midi knob or button in the settings, you can assign a target. Now it is set to "selected clip" you have to change it to "this clip".In fact, even copies in different layers now have the same MIDI note control opacity. How do I make Resolume not do that?
Hope that helps you out....
