Program changes sent to Arkaos VJ via Rewire are still not working!!

Is anyone else using this setup?


Rewire Program Changes sent to Arakaos VJ from Cubase SX
work fine.

in fact, I have the same problem...
a question: what exactely do you have to send to arkaos to trigger pictures or movies? and what do you have to send to trigger effects?

Hey Warabunga!!

Thanks for responding...I was wondering if anyone else was using Live and VJ.

It's quit simple to send MIDI Data to VJ from Live... and it acutally works well except for the program changes.

I use a single MIDI track in Live to send MDI note on off messages to VJ. I either play them into Live's MIDI sequencer from my drum controller or I draw the notes in with the mouse in the MIDI clips.

Sometimes I use 4 bar clips some times 32 bar clips. depends on how detailed I want to video to be.

I also draw in the controller information into the MIDI clips ( Controller 7&8 for example) to control say fades,transitions tranparency etc.

When VJ is rewired to live, it's easy to trigger the video clips in VJ from the piano roll keyborad in Live ( Alt and Mouse click the MIDI note in Live's Piano Roll keyboard) to see what you are sequencing in VJ
VJ 3.02 (on PC) has a small overlay screen that you can see ontop of Live while you program.

The only thing that is a real bummer is the program changes from Live to VJ.

I really wish ableton felt as I do !!I think this is extremely important !!!!

Works just fine from Cubase SX to VJ but not Live to VJ.

Best,

Chris
