Main Stage_Learning Hardware Controls

Adored Readers,
Am trying to configure Main Stage to respond to/"learn" hardware controls on a Roland RD-300 keyboard. (Nothing fancy, just assigning next/previous buttons.) Have followed all manual/guide/help instructions but am getting nowhere. I'm assuming this is because the keyboard is not recognized by MainStage on some level (if so, I don't know what). Software for the Roland is installed but perhaps there is some way to assign/activate the info? Many Thanks in advance for all replies!

My thanks to you. I'd thought that to be the case but now this is confirmed. Thanks again!

How do I set up different hardware controls for different patches in mainstage?

I'm using Mainstage 3.0.4 and a Novation Impulse.
I created a concert, with the drawbar organ as my first and most important patch. I assigned the hardware controls on the Novation exactly how I wanted them, with the sliders controlling the drawbars, and the rotary controls changing the distortion, reverb, etc. It was perfect. I was happy.
Then I added a new instrument (a new patch, not a new channel or anything like that), a Wurlitzer. Once again I assigned my hardware controllers as I wanted them, and was happy with that.
When I saved the concert, and went back to my organ patch, my settings didn't stay the same, but they still work for the Wurli.
My question is this - do I have to have a new concert for each instrument patch I want to use, if I need to assign different controllers for each patch? This would be stupid! If not, what I am doing wrong, that I can only set up one set of hardware controls per concert, instead of per patch?
Thank you in advance for the help!!!

CCTM, thank you! I have a small idea what you mean, but I still can't implement it :-)
You have some fundamental choices:
A) If you want to see Drawbar Controls for organ Patches, and then have other types ( knobs/sliders etc) for other Patches, you could simply make all the screen controls you need, then assign and map them as required.
B) you could simply use drawbar screen controls only and remap them to other parameters for non-organ patches
C) You could use Smart Controls ( which will update their appearance in a 'smart' way
D) You could make your own Drawbar type controls using standard faders
The basic process in a 2 part thing:
Assign incoming MIDI messages from your controller to Screen Controls in Layout mode. This is global for concert. Per patch ( or Set or globally for the Concert) you then map the Screen Controls to parameters for each patch as needed.
Smart Control MIDI assignment is done in the Assignments and Mappings pane

The main develop module controls have disappeared from the develop window. How do I recover them?

The main develop module controls have disappeared from the develop window. How do I recover them? I'm working with Lightroom 5.3. The missing controls are the sliders for exposure, contrast, clarity, etc. I must have inadvertantly clicked something that made them disappear but nothing I've tried brings them back. I've never had this experience in the years I've been using Lightroom (since version 1.1).

Right-click on any other item Tone Curve for ex., and check on "Basic" if that's what you are missing.
If you miss the complete Develop module right-click any other item Library for ex and put a check on Develop

Hardware control via a cin

I have the c++ code to control and collect data from an external piece of hardware (Nest of Birds) and I am trying to get LabView to both control and acquire data from it. The C code has an initialization, data acquire and shutdown stage. I am able to complete the whole sequence using a CIN provided there is no loop on the data acquisition stage. However if I try to split the code into separate CINs I can not get the data acquisition stage to loop.
Please could you help me?

What you are saying makes a lot of sense!
The reason I was trying to use the CIN is because I have all the C++ code for the hardware control. My programming knowledge is fairly limited and as the C++ code is quite complex (for me!). I thought using a CIN would require the least manipulation of the program - but clearly this isn’t going to work.
So do you recommend that I try to rewrite the C++ code in LabView and only call the DLL?
It would really depend. If that C++ code is doing anything complex and involved it definitely wouldn't be feasable to try to do this all in LabVIEW. The you have another option: Turn that C++ code into your own DLL and call that DLL from LabVIEW. CIN development is only fun anymore if you want to do some pretty esotoric stuff or are doing it just for the fun of tinkering with a technology which at some point was quite useful. (LabVIEW for Windows 3.1 really needed that for interfacing in a good way to all kind of external code without always having to convert between 16bit and 32bit memory and causing performance hits by this.) Another approach might be to write one CIN which implements all three functions and takes an extra selector input to tell it which of the three functions it should execute. Then you won't have troubles with global variables residing in three different code resources and not being able to reference each other across CIN bounderies. But honestly the DLL aproach is most probably the best to follow.

Satellite M50-182: Computer Hardware Control - can't see CPU temp

Hello,
I have M50-182 Satellite.
I have installed the Computer Hardware Control 1.10 Beta 02.
I can't see my CPU Temp.
Can anybody help me.
Thanks

I don't know the program you describe but you could perhaps download the last free version of the Everest Home Edition analytical tool from OldVersion.com
When you run it look under Computer/Sensor. It will show you your CPU temps and then you will at least know if it is the program or the sensor which is not working properly.

HT5886 Switch control use for hardware control

The switch control description in support says the menu provides you hardware control including "Press the Sleep/Wake button to lock the device" I do not see that anywhere on the menu? What am I missing?

Hi Eyal,
Thanks a lot for your answer it has been very helpfull so far, but what I is happening now is as follows:
- I have a text type ZUZZ which contains some text on the original activity.
- I also have text type ZINT which should then contain the info from the the text type ZUZZ from the original activity. (That is the text from ZUZZ in the original activity should be copied into ZINT in the follow up activity).
I did as you told me and the text from ZUZZ was copied into ZINT but not on the follow up activity but on the original activity. I think that I might just be missing something on the customization but I don't know what it could be.
May I also clarify that the text ZUZZ is being filled up as a log (It takes the texts from another text and appends them with user name and time).
Type    Desc               Seq     Changes Transf     Access
ZUZZ     Clico Log          200     R     A     ZCLILOG
ZINT     Clico Internal Note     250     R     A     ZCLIINT
Access ZCLIINT has this:
Ref. Object     CRM_ORDERH
Ref. Object     Transaction header
Ref. Text Type ZUZZ
Ref. Text Type Clico Log
Function        CRM_REFERENCE_TEXT_GET
Do you know if there is something else I am missing so the field text get copied to the follow up instead of being copied to itself?
Best Regards,
Felipe.

Notebook hardware control on a Satellite

Hi Olser
Usually if you use Toshiba designed tools it is enough for successfully notebook usage. Can you please tell us what you mean exactly with "hardware control"?

More hardware controls than just a mouse

Hi,
I'm fairly new to STP. I'm looking to have more control over my tracks than to be always using my mouse to point/click/drag.
I have an audio interface for 5.1 monitor, but beyond that I don't have much experience with mixing boards or any other additional hardware for STP.
In fact, I'm not even sure if that's what I need is a mixing board or if it is called a control surface or etc.
Very appreciative if someone can push me in the right direction and maybe at least put a proper name on the piece of hardware that I'm trying to describe.
Thanks!
Jeff
p.s.
My main use for STP will be to use on FCP projects.

Soundtrack Pro supports the Mackie Control and Logic Control protocols.
The current Mackie controllers that support Soundtrack Pro are the Mackie MCU Pro
- a HUI would also work, you can probably find used ones or still in stock items at some dealers.
Also the Eucon supports the Mackie/HUI protocol.
There may be others. Here's some more information on controllers.

Architecture for multi hardware control

Hi
I am designing a optical multi board control system which includes a Laser source, a Polorization Control module and a Polorimeter, the 3 modules are dependent with each other. I think we only need to understand the hardware are 3 different modules and cooperate with each other, do not need to understand the instrument detail.
I need to open modules, active Laser source, use Polarization Control to change light parameter and use Polorimeter to measure the result.
Every module should be configed, measure prosess must contains control, acquire, save data, and so on, the software can open and analyze saved data without instument connection.
Always I like to use PC event pattern to construct my event driven system to make it looks like a classic windows software, day after day I find that event driven is not suitable everywhere and LabVIEW is not a traditional language with his own characteristic, more project I have finished, more puzzles for my architecture design, I browses NI forum everyday for good thead about architecture, but I am still a pupil in LabVIEW area.
Another thing is an instument keep alive information need to be sent with fixed interval, if I understood"keep alive correctly".
Anyone have such a multi instuments development experience.
Thank you very much for your sinerely advice.

Hi Liming and Olli
My instrument are controlled by VISA but vendor provide me relevant instrument drivers VI.
the 3 instruments do not need high speed to run, the 3rd instrument which is a meter is usually at 333s/s speed, I do not think they need a synchronous structure(maybe I have not understood "synchronous" you said.), just a slow cooperation with each other. e.g, the 1st instrument general laser and keep it, the laser through the 2nd instrument and changed status, then the 3rd instrument measurement interrated parameters, these parameters must be saved and the saved data can be open and analyzed after acquisition. Sometimes it seems a "chain", everyone depend on the others and sometimes I only need a single instrument such as laser source to work for other intent .
Previously I use a Producer/consumer to make it a event based architecture, but I found it is very difficult to flexible control them in one consumer loop.
More project I finished, more puzzles I have on LabVIEW architecture.
Thanks everyone.

Main vi with control for each vi

Hello,
I have a set of VIs that I am trying to be able to call from a main vi. The main vi front panel is just a set of boolean controls. The block diagram for the main vi is a single while loop that contains all the controls which are each wired to a case structure that calls each vi when set to true. There is a different VI being called for each control and case structure. The loop has a condition of continue while true which is wired to constant true which is outside the loop of course. I have also tried the same with a timed loop, but either way it is very basic indeed.
Now when I run it, I can press one control and it will then start up the vi front panel that I selected. That's fine, but then after that, when I press another control on the main VI, nothing happens. Another thing I noticed is that if I turn ON all the controls and then run it, they will all work, meaning all VI front panels selected will appear.
The issue is that when one or more controls are set to true and the respective VIs are called, it seems that the loop that controls all the VIs is no longer running. I would like to be able to select one VI, and then continue to select another VI and so forth.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I would still consider dynamic launching of the subvi instead of making many loops, one for each subvi. The issue you will find (although the many loops is conceptually easier) will be in scalability, What happens if you want to launch 20 loops, are you going to drop 20 loops on your Block diagram, also what happens if you want to take advantage of the event structure (you really want to do this if you plan on a GUI of any complexity) you can put the event structure in each loop which will cause you to have to poll each loop and then you will need to do tempo control in each loop. From a readability stand point a single loop with an event case that launches the subvi is veary easy to follow as well. This is just my opinion though.

External Hardware Control

I have been using Mainstage for live for the last couple of months which has been fantastic however does anyone know of any way to control external hardware (modules, etc)? I suspect that there isn't at this stage.
Assuming Apple reads these forums, can we register our desire for this type of control in a near-future update?
Cheers

MainStage 1.0 is designed to be "convert" your Mac into a software instrument. It is not a control software for external gear.
I am sure Apple is monitoring these forums and collecting ideas for version 2 already. But they just ship version 1 - give them a little christmas break.

T500: hardware controlled volume problem

hi all,
i have a T500 (running winxp pro) i bough 1 month ago. i have been having problems with teh hardware volume control.
1st symptom appeared when i started using the ethernet port to connect to teh internet. whenever the computer was connected, the volume display kept appearing without me using teh volume buttons.
2nd symptom appeared today, while using an external FireWire operated sound card. whenever the external soundcard is connected to the firewire port and is turned on, the volume of the internal card shifts to Zero and i cannot turn it up. even not through the control panel. this did not used to be. i have worked with that external sound card for the last month and i know that this problem started today. also, i mut add that i am not using the computer's built in 1394 port but am using a PCMCIA card that gives me extra FireWire ports.
i would love to hear any thoughts on the matter. or has anyone encountered that kind of problem before?
thank you all.

Do you have Vista SP1 installed using Boot Camp 2.1 or 2.0?
This may not be your case, but, Boot Camp 2.1 must be installed into Vista (pre-SP1), prior to updating to Vista SP1.
Similar issue with XP SP3:
See this post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1838705&tstart=30
My MBP, 2.66 Disc's came with 2.1 so I didn't need to install 2.1 and after all the auto updates SP1 was installed and the audio worked right off the bat.
F.Y.I. - My UMB came with 2.0. and I had the same issue, I see you have a 2.33; it might came with BC 2.0.
Additionally, not that this pertains to your situation, but I'll share it with anyway. I used a bare bones OEM, Vista installation Disc that needed all auto updates from MS, then, and only then, would it allow an auto update for SP1. It needed all the previous updates to properly install Vista SP1.

Import Mainstage hardware controls in Logic 8 ?

Hello
I successfully exported a channel strip from Mainstage into Logic Pro, so I'm happy to have the opportunity to bypass the environment so that I don't have to re-open previous songs just to play with one sound.
Now, I would like to know how I can get Logic 8 to exploit the Mainstage customized hardware UI controls from Logic 8.
I'm not sure this is clear but I lack the English words to describe it (I use the French version of Logic Studio) so:
1) I create some keyboard, sliders, etc. interface to interact with a given strip.
2) I can import the strip in Logic 8
3) How do I know if twiddling my keyboard's slides will have the same effect under Logic Pro as it as in Mainstage ? I exported a channel strip, not the complete concert ?
Thanks for your help & explanations.

So, not only is Mainstage unable to access external hardware MIDI devices, but it is also unable to be 100% helpful in Logic ?
Is it beta software ?

Validation of reused component in Main component and Control the Navigation

Dear Friends
   Good morning,
   I have one question as I mention in the subject.
         How to validate the data from re-used component in the main component and based on error or not the error fire the navigation plug ?
What I am doing is, I have two components
1. Main_comp --> V_CREATE (view).
2. Ora_comp-->V_CREATE_ACCOUNT (view).
In Ora_comp I have some fields that are mandatory. plus I have 2 password fields that have to be matched with each other like ( Password and Re-Enter password).
now in the MAIN_COMP
I have the view called v_create in this view I am using method "WDDOBEFOREACTION" to validate the things. but now I am stuck here dont know how to call the wd_api of v_create_account view of Ora_comp.
if lo_action is bound.
     case lo_action->name.
         when 'TO_REV'. <--this is the next button action who will fire the navigation plug.
         I need to write something like this.
             data l_view_controller type ref to if_wd_view_controller.
             data lo_api_interfacecontroller TYPE REF TO if_wd_controller.
             *lo_api_interfacecontroller = lo_interfacecontroller->wd_get_api( ).*
             *l_view_controller = lo_api_interfacecontroller.*
             *cl_wd_dynamic_tool=>check_mandatory_attr_on_view( view_controller = l_view_controller ).*
     "some other loginc to report the non-matching passwords error using report attribute blah blah, but its okey its not a problem.
    " The proble is this
        _l_view_controller =" ? "_ <-- what should | write here to check my view's mandatory attribute of re-used components.
        _cl_wd_dynamic_tool=>check_mandatory_attr_on_view( view_controller = l_view_controller )._
Endcase.
Endif.
please help me. How I can solve this. your any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

Naeem

Hi!
   Thank you so much for your reply, well you are right theres no navigation is taking place.. actually my view (V_CREATE) of a main component is navigating to either to review form for for review the inputs or to go back to action view to select the action like create ,,
why I wanted to use that dynamic_tool into main view and play with the reused view's attributes because when user presses the back button and try to go to the action view.. v_create view will not allow him to go unless he fills all the required fields..
I wanted to over -come that.. by flush out the message area in to_action navigation part.. so I thought may be if I can do this in main view. i can remove the messages and message areas as well but I was wrong.
well will it be possible for me to know. How can We suppress the messages and go back to action view without filling the required fields.
look the design
1 Serview view ( Oracle-Unix-Active Directory) --> user have selected the Oracle
2 Action view ( all the oracle related link2action (create, delete, rename password) --user have selected the create account
3 v_create view ( Oracle_comp , unix_comp , active_dir_comp) since user have selected the oracle I will use oracle components'view... here I have the form to create the account in oracle server. this has the mandatory fields I can use the dynamic_tool to put check on mandatory attributes.
4 review view- ( Oracle_comp , unix_comp , active_dir_comp) since user have selected the oracle I will use oracle components'view..in read only.
5 submit message view.
so problem is at 3rd view... I can check the attributes from componets ... fill it and correct and go to review.
but I cant go back to action-view without filling the correct informaiton. that I wanted to solve. Suggest me is there anyway to suppress the messages and message area on to_action or anyother place to trigger the back view navigation.
I hope this reply will you to understand what I am doing
Thank you so much and Regards
