Starting and stopping a drum loop in MainStage

Hi, i've just started using Mainstage 2.1.2 and I'm setting up a B3/bass/drums split to accompany a vocalist. I'm trying to put in a drum loop from studio drummer which I use from Native Instruments. My issue is I need to be able to setup an action where I use a command on my keyboard (button or key or pedal to initiate a stop on the drums and then start them again when i choose....for instance for a bass solo, or even to kill the drums at the end of the tune). I succeeded in doing an action which muted it but i need it to stop so that when the vocalist comes in again the drums will be in time. i.e starting the drums again will just be like starting the track from scratch rather than have it running silently in the background which is what the mute/unmute does. Hope this makes sense and any help would be grealy appreciated.

Hi
One would normally set up either MIDI CC or Host Automation within Kontakt to do this, but it would seem that you cannot control the 'Play' button of the MIDI grooves within the NI Drummer series.
To work around this, you could bounce the 'Drummer' groove to audio (in Logic, Garageband etc) and the use a Playback plugin within Mainstage to actually perform.
Hidden benefits would be that Playback will use considerably less RAM that Kontakt with Studio Drummer.

How can I start and stop two parallel loops?

Hello,
I want to control two parallel loops with different timing in a vi . That means to start loop 1, then loop 2, stop loop 1 or 2 restart loop 1 ...
But if loop 1 is running I cannot start loop two and reverse.
Can someone help me and show whats wrong in my example?
Thanks,
Christian

Parallel loops Test.vi ‏46 KB

Hello Christian,
The reason why you can't do what you want is in fact quite simple.
You have an external loop that is "over" the two inner loops.
So when you stop one of the inner loops, the outer loop will still be in the same iteration until the other inner loop ends - stop the other inner loop.
You can see it very easily if you probe the iteration counter of the outer loop - only when both the inner loops stop, it will incerment.
So, to do what you want, you need to make them independent - you need two outer loops.
Check my attachtment, see if that's what you need.
Hope this helps,
Paulo

Start and stop a loop automatically subtracting at each iteration

Hi there,
I know that there are some topics about it, but I could not find any solution, especially because I use the version 7.1 and cannot open new version files.
My problem is as follows:
I need to charge a tank from 6 to 10 in the morning, every day during 3 days. The process must start and stop automatically, which means, no bottoms to start or stop. The start and stop conditions come from the hour.
I start with a big loop of 72 iterations, which corresponds to 72 hours.
The tank must start at level 6 every time it starts.
After the start, 1 unit must be subtracted in each iteration. Which means, that at 6 am the tank has level 10, at 7 am level 9 and so on. In the end, at 10 am the tank level is equal to 2.
In the next day, the process must start again and the tank must start at level 6.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

While this may work it can be improved significantly. This really isn't a state machine. This is basically the same as your flat sequence with the exception of using a While loop with a Case statement to implement each frame.
You should define what your actions are and create a typedefed ENUM naming them. State names of 1 through 24 are meaningless. Not to mention in your code many of the cases are duplicates of others. That would mean that all of those can be one state with logic to determine what action/state comes next. A properly defined state machine would not need the outside For loop. Without knowing your specific needs some examples of reason state names would be the following: Start, Stop, Exit, Error, Initialize, Get Tank Level, Fill Tank, Drain Tank, Idle, etc. Can you see how these are easier to understand than 1 through 24.
There are lots of examples of state machines here. Try a search and take a look at some of them.

How to start and stop looping

I'm very new to Flash / action script, so I just need to know where to put both the start loop, and the end loop code (below) in my Flash file to make the waving effect on this flag (link below) start and stop when I need it to, because I'm adding a small amount of flash both before and after it. thanks.....
loopI = setInterval(loopF,40);
to start the waving and use:
clearInterval(loopI);
to stop the waving.
function loopF(){
    // move the matrix by speed along x to shift the noise
    shift.translate(speed, 0);
    // drawing in the perlin movie clip,
    // create a rectangle with the perlin noise
    // drawn in it with an offset supplied by the
    // shift matrix
    with (displace_mc.perlin){
        clear();
        beginBitmapFill(noiseBitmap, shift);
        moveTo(0,0);
        lineTo(ramp._width, 0);
        lineTo(ramp._width, ramp._height);

Starting and stopping a loop

I am importing a list of 10,000 emails into memory and then
comparing them to a database which holds over 400,000 records. It
doesnt take long for the <cfquery> to time out. I know there
must be a way to loop thru 20 or so, then stop, then loop thru the
next 20, etc. I cannot lengthen the timeout so I need to figure out
a way to process the data in chunks. Thanks.

Are you sure you can not lengthen the timeout. The
<cfapplication ...>
tag allows one to define a specific timeout for a given page,
as long as
that is less then the maximum timeout defined in the
administrator.
If this is not sufficient for your needs you will need to
break up your
process over multiple requests. Just starting and stopping
the loop in
a singe request does nothing for reducing the timeout
threshold of the
page. You can do this with scheduled tasks, web services,
and|or the
<cflocation ...> tag. You will need to pass through
relevant data about
what iterations to process, and use some kind of extra
request storage
for the results, such as server|application|session scopes,
databases or
files.
Hope that gives you some help.
Ian
Sounds like more than I know how to do. I cant change the
timeout because its set that way on purpose. I think Ill leave this
alone for now. Thanks.

Starting and stopping triggered samples

The ESX24 Sampler claims to be a plug-in that functions exactly like a sampler should. Previous to Logic Pro 7, I used a SP-606 sampler that had three different ways a sample could be played:
1. drum - this function played the sample as long as the button (or note) was held down then stopped playing once released
2- trigger - this started the sample and let it play until the end of the entire audio region
3- loop - this looped the sample based on the specified start and stop points.
However under the second function, trigger, you could trigger the sample to start and stop and restart and stop every time you hit the sample button or sent a note.
Does logic have this function anywhere in the ESX24?
for instance if i had a 15 second long sample and sent a midi note from a controller to start it...how do i stop it and restart it at will?
the only functions I see available in Logic are the 'drum' function (where the sample releases and stops as long as you hold down the note) and the trigger function (but in Logic a second trigger does not stop the sample ----
it triggers a second sample to play again --so that multiple samples are playing simultaneously)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Start and Stop Trigger using PXI-6120 and DigitalStartAndStopTrigger.vi not working :-(

Hello,
I've been trying for a while now to get my PXI unit to capture a waveform between a Start and Stop (Reference) Trigger using the NI example DigitalStartAndStopTrigger.vi downloaded from the NI website. However, whilst the start trigger and stop trigger seem to be working i.e. the VI runs and stops at the correct times there is never any data read from my DAQmx compatible PXI-6120 card. So I can see the VI is running around the aquisition loop but the Property Node AvailSampPerChan is always returning zero... this has me slightly puzzled. I thought this might just be a driver issue so I've updated my box to the following software versions (see below) and installed the latest drivers e.g. DCDNov07.exe (also from the NI site) but nothing has changed.
my software as of now.
Labview 7.1 (with the 7.1.1 upgrade applied)
Max 4.3.0.49152
DAQmx 8.6.0f12
Trad DAQ 7.4.4f7
before I updated I had the same problem but with the following versions:
Labview 7.1 (with the 7.1.1 upgrade applied)
Max 4.2.1.3001
DAQmx 8.5.0f5
Trad DAQ 6.9.3f4
So to cut a long story short I still have the same problem with the triggers... does anybody have any ideas what is going wrong?
To add insult to injury it the traditional DAQ example ai_start-stop_d-trig.vi was almost working correctly before I did the upgrade. It had the strange behaviour of capturing the AI0 channel but on the wrong edges (e.g. if I set Start on Rise and Stop on Fall it would do the opposite, Start on Fall and Stop on Rise).
I'm going to leave my box doing a mass compile over night but i'd really like it if someone could suggest a solution or point me in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Mike

Hi Graham
I'm out of the lab today but I'll try and answer your questions as best I can...
1) What are the values you have set for Buffer size, Rate, samples per read and post trigger Samples?
At the moment I have all the values (e.g. sample rate, buffer size etc) unchanged apart from the ones I mentioned in my previous post (see above). I have in the past played around with changing the buffer sizes and rates in the example VI but as this appeared to have no effect on the behaviour I now have them setup as in the download.
2) Does the program end after the stop trigger is implemented?
Yep, if I toggle the trigger line high then low I see the program exits the read loop and the VI stops running as expected.
3) Lastly can you give me the details of triggering method. Are you
using a digital train of users set digital pulses? how long is the
program running.I'm using the WriteDigChan.vi to manually toggle the first digital line of the PXI-6733 card which is wired directly to PFI0 of the PXI-6120 card. Generally, I just start the VI running and then toggle the line high, wait a couple of seconds and then toggle it low.
To me it all looks like it should be acquiring samples but as I said yesterday it just refuses to fill the buffer with any data (and hence no samples are read).
Any ideas? and thanks for you help,
Mike

Programmatically starting and stopping my vi at set times

I have a vi that runs during every production shift, however the running and stopping of this vi is currently manual, requiring a user to start and stop the vi at the appropriate times. I would like a way of programming the vi so that it starts every weekday at 6:55am and stops every weekday at 15:05pm. All my while loops run if engine status is TRUE, so I wondered if starting/stopping the engine appropriately would be sufficient. I will need to reinitialise all my values from the previous day – does this happen automatically by stopping/restarting the engine? I would also like to ignore weekends if possible.
I have attached the vi that I would like to automatically start and stop. If anyone knows the best way to program this (slightly messy) vi, then I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks to all,
Stuart

HC2 Efficiency Information SW Edit (rev 10).vi ‏1202 KB

My LV8 is having issues this morning and does not want to open the VI I sent you, so I jsut created the loop that I had added. It is very simple, but should get you started. It does not ignore weekends I have not had time to work on that. You could do something like every time the start time is triggered, increment a counter and when the counter hits 6 (saturday if you start counting on monday), do not start the engine and then when it hits 7 reset the counter.
Good luck and post back if you have more issues.

Flashing stacked sequence auto start and stop

Seems like this should be so easy but I'm stumped.
I want to use some flashing leds while some of my data is plotted but can’t figure out a way to programmatically start and stop a simple flashing stacked sequence.
thanks for any help.

OK. Then put the flashing in the loop with Stuff 2, which I presume is the one for which you want to show activity. I modified your program to do this. I also eliminated the sequence structure by using dataflow. You can probably get down to one loop by changing to a state machine structure.
If the flashing rate needs to be a different rate than the Stuff 2 logic, put the slower part into a case structure which only executes one time for every n iterations.

Hi,

You don't need to upgrade your software. But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3. It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC. More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins. A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

Why are there all those "/n" there? Either you or the place you copied from has the wrong slash. But still, it's wronger than that to have them at all: "\n" means a newline (i.e., press "return") not the actual "backslash en" characters. Sometimes people post code with those \n visible: by making it explicit where a line-break should be, one doesn't have as much trouble when a web browser reformats the text and puts line breaks where they don't belong.

Is there a way to report on who stopped or started an active sync? I'm guessing it has to be stored somewhere, but I can't find it.

I believe you are talking about FMS AWS instance and you may be using a centos 4.0.2 instance AMI or lower?
Well ... earlier, options for stopping a centos AWS image was not available, but recently they are there in place, so I suppose if you use a new centos 4.5.1 AMI then probably you can start stop the aws instance on yuor will. Give ut a shot and let me know.

I again cross-checked and found that you were right, start and stop is not supported there .... an alternative method is to take a snapshots of the runinng instnace and terminate that instance after that, later you can use your snapshot to attach to the EBS volume to run your system again. You may need to use the Elastic IP address, because you wont like your users to update each time you terminate the old instance, and create new instance from snapshot. I have never used it in this way, but this is one of the approach.

Music starts and stops during playback of burned DVD

I really need help with this problem...I made a slideshow and added music from itunes in the program IDVD. Once I burned the DVD the music will start and stop throughout the DVD and not at chapters as I read in other threads - but in random places on the DVD. The DVD sounds like it gets hung up and then starts again. This is my first project using IDVD, so any help would be great.

Debra,
Do your project have music purchased from iTunes? If so, that could be the cause of this problem. Music from iTunes is DRM-protected and can cause problems in playback. To take care of this, first burn all of your purchased music to a CD, then reimport in an aiff format. To do this, in iTunes, go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Importing. Look for "Import using", and use the drop-down menu to select AIFF encoder.
Good luck.

In Month View, showing start and stop times for appointments

Hi, I want to show both the start and stop times for all appointments in my iCal Month view and have not been able to figure out how to do that. Any suggestions? - Dave

I would also like to know how to do this if possible. I want to print month-view schedules with start and end times for events. Thought I'd bump this up to see if anyone has any ideas.
