[Sharing] DMX Control of Live Channels and Clips

This is a relatively simple patch designed to allow DMX control of Ableton channel levels and clips. You can link the value of a DMX channel to the value of an Ableton channel fader, and also set a clip to automatically start and stop when the value of a DMX channel rises above and below 0. The point of this is to allow audio to cued and controlled from a lighting board. In a theatrical setting, this would allow perfect synchronisation of lighting and sound with only one show operator.

NOTE: This device is currently only available for use with the Enttec DMXUSBPRO device. You will need the dmxusbpro object from Olaf Matthes. I’ve also noticed that version 1.4 of this object doesn’t work with DMX input. Try using version 1.3.5.
