Changing images via midi parameter

Does anyone know how you can set a midi device to toggle through images as you press a key. Using this to have many seperate mouths made as .ai files so you press one key the mouth appears open, press this key this mouth or .ai file apears a closed mouth, while at the same time not leaving the other mouth (.ai) on the screen?

Hey ptempeset,
So the forum you have posted this in is for the Apple program Motion, which is not really the program you're looking for. However, as I couldn't really think of a better forum, I figured I'd give it a shot. By .ai file, I assume you mean Adobe Illustrator? Any solutions I offer will probably at first involve compressing the ai file to something else, at best a Pict or Targa, at worst a JPEG. So the first question is- How technical are you? Are you into programming at all? If you are, there are two pretty certain solutions. The first is Cycling 74's Max/MSP & Jitter. I understand this language and will attempt to write an app for you. In this light, please specify exactly what you want. Another language that is free and a little easy to understand than Max is Quartz Composer. This app may be actually more suited to your needs. The intro to programming it can be found here. The last app that you may find interesting is Neuromixer's AVDrum. It would require that all your images be movies, but you could make that conversion easy enough. That software would be ready to go then. After writing this response, I'm realizing that this post would be better suited to the Developer Forum. Good Luck!

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

Changing songs live via midi

Is it possible to change from each song to another via midi? I am tired doing this by hand in a dark club. any ideas?
greetings from germany and excuse my lousy english

You do need the songs to be open-I haven't tried it for this but you may be able to use KCs through OS X.
System Pereferences.app>Keyboard and Mouse>Keyboard shortcuts>+
And then assign it to a song title in open recent, let me know if it works...'twould be sweet. You'd then have a specific KC which the OS would open recent for you provided it was in your list.

Lightbox images change direction in mid-presentation

My lightbox images are changing direction in mid-presentation. They started sliding in horizontally from the right edge of frame. After 4 or 5 are presented, the next images slide in from the left side of frame.

Is there anything different about that slide or set of slides? Have you tried copying the slides into a new Presentation or opening the Presentation under a different user on your computer?
What are you using to advance your presentation?

Is there a way to change AU plugin presets via MIDI?

Unfortunately the internal preset system of a third party plugin that i use isn't accessible for MIDI mapping. So i just figured out i could use Mainstages own plugin preset handling. I need to control the "next preset" and "previous preset" buttons in the generic plugin header via MIDI, but to my surprise it doesn't show up anywhere as a possible mapping target, nor can i just use program change messages. Neither for built in nor for third party plugins.
I know in Logic the preset changing is easily accessible for MIDI, so why isn't it in Mainstage?
Changing presets would be way more efficient than adding tons of extra patches or sets that complicate the whole concert, so i am happy about any advice.
cheers

Hi MiloszCzeslaw,
Big question
The first answer is no (a thing apple forget...) but It can be done with some time to setup things.
Can you send your concert (or patch) or try to explain what you really wanna do (which AU...)
If you send me the concert I will try to configure it to you.
Hope I´ve helped.
(moodysenor the same applies to you)
Best regards

Feature Request: Support for External Synths/Modules (via MIDI)

Hi,
I just posted a feature request (via the Apple Feature Request form) but also wanted to post here. I use a combination of hardware instruments (sound modules) and software instruments.
*My Setup*
- Keyboard #1: M-Audio Axiom 25 (also includes a USB MIDI interface)
- Keyboard #2: Roland A-33 Controller Keyboard (via my Axiom-25's MIDI In)
- Edirol USB MIDI Interface (sound modules plugged into MIDI Outs)
- Sound Module #1: Roland JV-1080
- Sound Module #2: Yamaha TX802
MainStage currently takes care of all my software instrument needs, however, what is missing is the ability to add external physical MIDI devices as either patches or as channel strips. I would like to use a combination of software and hardware instruments in the same song, and control this via Mainstage.
Example:
- Patch 1 could potentially contain 2 software instruments, each seperately controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently possible)
- Patch 2 could contain 1 software instrument and 1 external sound module each controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently impossible)
- Patch 3 could contain 2 external sound modules, mapped to different ports and/or channels, and therefore independantly controlled by my 2 keyboads (this is also currently impossible)
Would I be correct in assuming that this is a fairly common limitation of MainStage?

I have achieved MIDI out from Mainstage, thank to the information found on this forum..
what I actually do is send Prg Change from every preset I select to control a hardware vocal harmony pedal. this way i don't have to remember which setting i use on every song or even, section of a song.
*Step 1:*
Library>application support>Logic> create a folder named precisely MAINSTAGE CALLBACKS
inside of it, create an applescript with this code
on action(parameter)
set myprogramchange to programchangenumber of parameter
tell application "MidiPipe"
MIDISend toPort "MidiPipe AppleScript Input" withData {192, myprogramchange}
end tell
end action
*step 2*
download MIDIPIPE from http://homepage.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/
and install it in your apps folder
*step 3*
start midipipe, and define the following modules
MIDI IN-> use applescript input from menu
MIDI OUT-> route to your midi interface desired output
save this to a Midipipe file you can easily access
Now, when I go to a gig I FIRST (this is important) load midipipe and my preset, and just hide it and let it work in the background
Start mainstage, and set the program change of every PATCH to what I want to be sent over MIDI OUT when I enter the preset (-1 if needed or modify the previous applescript).
Ok, this just gives you Prg change... if you want something like CC or others, you can look at some of the example files on midipipe, and write your own applescripts to be used from a control within mainstage (you know, select a screen control, and assign it to an applescript located in library>application suport>logic>Mainstage scripts. you have to tell the applescript to receive incoming data from mainstage and send it (with even some filtering or transforming) to midipipe to go to the outside world.
One last idea: i used a free plug-in called MIDIIO that, although the plugin analysis on mainstage might say does not pass, you can use it anyway, and lets you insert it as if it was a plugin instrument...then you just route your screen controller to a MIDI parameter on that track, and there you go...but in the past it was not as solid as the midipipe solution.
I am still investigating...I am pursuing having my hardware controller knobs to follow screen settings everytime I just change a patch, but lack some info on how to get parameter values when entering the patch ¿anyone knows, blueberry, zuelito...? I promise to share the results!

Viewing images via Bridge CS3

I usually adjust images in Aperture but have just begun to use the Raw converter within CS3 for a few files. I can export master files onto my desktop and dbl click to open the NEF file, however, this seems very clumsy. I know you can access the RAW images via Bridge CS3 but when I try to access all I get is the aperture library white icon (looks like a fridge?!) but when I ask to display contents it seems to be locked - my aperture library is situated in Pictures - but this still does not allow access - anyone know - thanks to anyone who does !

thank you - yes, I agree I would prefer to not bother with Bridge, but when I "Open With" which I had defaulted to PSCS3, this opens fine, but the master file opens in tif or psd depending on what I need, and then of course the ACR dosn't open- I think I may be thrown a bit here by your comment on "referenced" master files - but however, at least I do follow you clearly on the tif/jpeg import concerning reflection of changes - really appreciate your time!

Markers - Can I trigger looped marker sections via MIDI controller?

This is kind of a multi-part question:
I know that I can set up key commands to toggle between various markers, but can I set up a group of MIDI controller buttons so that each one represents the 1st marker, the 2nd marker, the 3rd marker, etc., etc. of whatever project/song might be loaded?
Pending that answer, is there a way to set up each marker as its own looping section (without manually changing the cycle section)? Logic makes it very inviting to write/record over looped parts, and I would love to be able to toggle between each looped section of a project, via MIDI controller hardware, for a more intuitive way to both write additional parts for each song section, as well as compose more fluid sequences and experiment with different arrangements without having to drag everything around in the arrange window. I figured that using markers would be a way to do this, since I am under the impression that I can already have the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. mapped out to MIDI controller buttons/triggers. I am hopeful that the trick can be accomplished with cycle automatically being associated with each marker section . . .
Thanks for your time, and your assistance/suggestions!

You can assign buttons to control key commands by opening the key command set-up window. Navigate to the key commands you wish. You don't need to assign an actual key command for this to work, by the way. Highlight the appropriate key command (go to marker number X in your case). At the bottom left is the 'learn new assignment' button, press it and then press a button on your keyboard. Repeat for all desired key commands.
If you type 'marker' into the search box of the key command window, you will notice a key command a few spaces up from the 'go to markers' that is called 'set locators by marker and enable cycle' - to jump to this cycle just hit play, even if it's already in play it'll jump as long as you have 'play from cycle' selected in your play button options (which it is by default). Then press record and it will be recording.
There are several other key-command strategies that end up with the same result. So explore the options to find out what works for you. Since you can only assign one key command to a button, you do have to press several buttons (select marker, set loc. at marker, play, and then record).
You could rig up a little system in the environment that splits and converts cc messages so that pressing cc24 spits out 24,25,26 which are all assigned to different key commands. So one button kicks out 3 key commands this way. It's not too complicated to set up, but you need to pay attention to what is assigned to what or else you'll end up with a spaghetti pile of confusing assignments. Start with the easy 4 button method to make sure this is actually accomplishing what you want - who knows, maybe you will discover a key command combo that takes a step or two out. Then you can take a look at combining and simplifying.

"Rend Error" when sending image via iChat/AIM

On my brand new iMac aluminum, I am unable to send, and friends are unable to send, images via iChat AIM 3.1.8 (V445). When either of us try to send, we get the message "An undefined AIM error has occured. The server message was: Rend: Error"
I then spin around and use my old G4 iMac to send an image - no problem. My buddy is also able to send to me, no problem.
Both computers are connected to the same Linksys WRT54G router. When I searched for the term 'rend' only one thread came back which suggested to change the port from 5190 to 443. I did this and it didn't help.
Any other suggestions?

Hi Craig,
In the Linksys set up pages you have Application and Gaming (Which is where I think you are talking about)
In there there are several options.
Port Forwarding, Port Triggering, DMZ (possibly UPnP Forwarding and QoS)
Disable any Port Forwarding or Port Triggering. DO not use the DMZ.
Save settings. (you should still have Web browsing and Mail abilities).
GO to the Administration tab on the top row.
Enable UPnP.
Save Settings.
UPnP allows multiple computers to use the same ports.
This way the Linksys can be left doing DHCP if you wish and it will not matter if your computer gets a new IP every now and then. Also the Ports are opened by the application and close after a timed period of non use.
You can limit the "Hops" to the number of devices the computer is from the Linksys (1 ?) to make it more secure.
On the main set up page you could limit the the DHCP range to the number of computers you have to prevent outside connections.
The ports you describe so far are only the TExt chatting and file sending ports

Change image default name

Hello!
Since this week, when I recieve an image via whatsapp, it appears with a different name than before.
Before, it showed a number and the date the image was sent (IMG000+date), and now it has the name of another pic+numbers (aaa+number).
I tried to find if this question was asked before, but I couldn't find a similar topic.
My device is a BlackBerry curve 8520. Can someone help me to change the default name of the images again, please?
Thanks!! (And sorry if I made a grammatical mistake or something!)

Hi there,
I think thats not what he asked, as I have the same problem with the default picture names taken with the camera phone.
Is there anyway to change the default picture name? It's a pain changing the name of every picture you take, so would be better if you could setup your phone to name the pictures something like IMGXXX instead of the ridiculous format that is given by default in the 8900 IMGXXXXX-YYYYMMDD-HHMM
As for the shutter noise from the camera, Im afraid you need to use third party apps, check this link:

Any help would be appreciated

I have an macbook. The pinch/squeeze function (enlarges images via trackpad) will not work on my laptop on this version of firefox.

The pinch open and close (enlarges screen and images via trackpad) function on my Macbook Pro does not work. It worked with the previous version of firefox.
I'm not happy trying to add fixes to new version firefox. Please tell me how to get rid of this new version and reinstall the previous.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

How to open and validate the tif images via java?

Is it possible to open and validating the photoshop images via java. Kindly advise me.
Thanks for looking into this.
Maria Prabudass

I have recently looked at athe code for Image Processor.
To avoid bailing on errors it uses two techniques.
1) It turns off all PS error reporting in addition to just turning off dialogs with: app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO; (it restores the original settings when exiting)
2) It uses the Javascript construct Try.....Catch around the basic body of the code so "any" error will not abort the script but just jump to the "Catch" code.
Hope that is useful

How to change sql server reports parameter direction in report builder 3.0

Hi All,
I have created few reports using Report Builder 3.0 with the data source as SharePoint list. i have created a web part page and added the ".rdl"
file, everything is working as expected. Later, i got a requirement to add a parameter to the report , i did that and when i ran the report in SharePoint page, the parameters shows right side and the parameter ribbon shows the dropdown control on top and "Apply
button" at the bottom. When i presented this to my manager, he says the parameter ribbon looks bad and suggested to put both the controls together and also instead of displaying at right side vertical, display it horizontal.
I have below queries
How can i change the direction of parameter ribbon from vertical to horizontal
How can i bring the controls together (e.g. dropdown list control and button)
How can i add buttons on the report in report builder 3.0
How to get/reflect the data in report without refreshing the page.
Can someone please guide me, how to achieve the above functionalities..

Unfortunately, where the parameters are located and the button distance away from the parameters are not something you can customize. Here are the options available for customization:

Hi Yunus,
Your probably have changed the transaction type SLFN to a the customer namespace Z or Y. If this is the case you MUST also "Define Mapping Rules for Copy Control".
Goto SPRO -> SAP Solution Manager -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Change Management -> Change Request Management -> Extended Configuration -> Change Transaction -> Change Transaction Types -> Copy Control for Change Request Management -> Define Mapping Rules for Copy Control.
Once at this point in the IMG make a copy of SLFN -> ZLFN. This will resolve your problem.
Kind regards,
Latief
