Manuel1975 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hi there, I want to link the bpm of ableton live to the effects speed on my Chamsys desk. Does anybody have any ideas how to achieve this? Hope you can help! Cheers, Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grum Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Do you have the Sound to Light interface from Chamsys? Without this it is not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel1975 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Nope, I don't have the audio in interface nor do I have the midi smpte interface of Chamsys. I do own the pc wing though... If needed I could buy the interface. How does this work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grum Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Program a chase the in the options look under the audio tab. You can set the audio BPM to control chase speed in there. All you need to do is give the desk an audio feed, stripping that feed back to just the click track is easy enough but may not be required as you can choose what part of the audio feed the chase responds to.

Manuel1975 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Is it also possible to drive the fx speed in stead of the chase speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel1975 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Ok, maybee someone who ones the Chamsys midi interface could answer the following question: If I change the fader level of a playback through midi & a remote playback command and an effect speed master is located on this fader, will the corresponding effects speed be changed?

Richard CSL Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 just a thought what does the remote in 5 pin din socket do on the pc wing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel1975 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hm, think its a little off topic but must admit that I have not noticed this port before you mentioned it. Found a manual here: http://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/4021284/html5 In the discription there is no specific hardware or software mentioned that can provide this "remote signal" so I doubt that ableton will be able to generate it.

Pat Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I think this is not possible with ableton.You only can use the Chamsys hardware or the from other companies the lowcost USB to DMX dongles. (And they have restrictions with the software)Chamsys gives you the soft for free, they should generate some money to pay their people. Or you buy a audio interface or a midi interface from chamsys.Ask you local dealer or Chamsys directly they will help you out without any problem.

Manuel1975 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi Pat, Yess I understand that Chamsys has to make money etc. The answer to this question might decide if I buy the GMA2 wing or the Mq60. The GMA2 enables the user to set the effects speed by midi but I id rather stay in the chamsys environment which I know fairly well by now. The question remains: Is it possible to set the Chamsys Magicq FX speed by Ableton / midi? If so, how!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljoshua Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Perhaps try raising this in the Chamsys Bug/Feature Tracker? This is the best way to guarantee a response from the guys at Chamsys. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
