DMX Shortcuts
Preferences
- You'll want to turn it off when you are for instance using an external source for triggering a sequence of clips (via MIDI, OSC or DMX for instance), while you are applying effects on another clip at the same time.
- DMX Preferences
- The DMX preferences tab is available on Arena only.
- You can read all about setting up Lumiverses and Art-Net nodes in the DMX chapter of the manual.
OSC
- The important things to know is that you can send OSC over a network, and you have much finer control than via MIDI or DMX.
MIDI Shortcuts
- Resolume supports external control via your computer keyboard, MIDI controllers and OSC messages. If you're running Arena, you can also use DMX input from a lighting desk.

- Resolume treats a Lumiverse as 1 DMX Universe with a unique DMX Universe ID and Subnet ID.
- Each Lumiverse can have a maximum of 512 channels, just like a regular DMX Universe.
- Click on the big "+" icon on the top left and select "DMX Lumiverse"
