Madrix Lighting Control

Open RockitFX opened this issue 6 years ago • 7 comments

Describe the feature A clear and concise description of what the feature does I would like to use a stream deck to trigger events in Madrix. Madrix can be controlled by Artnet, DMX, midi, etc., but there are no provisions to trigger programs with keyboard shortcuts.

Is this platform dependent (windows, mac, ..)? Explain Madrix is PC only

If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it? If applicable, add screenshots, protocol description PDFs, etc to help the developers along

Usecases Add a couple of usecases for why this should be implemented and when/why to use it. Madrix is a very popular VJ software used to control large LED installations, usually during a live concert or at a sophisticated nightclub. The buttons of the Stream Deck make it an ideal interface for madrix, as you would be able to visually see the effect before triggering it. It would also be AWESOME if there was a way to pull the button graphics directly from Madrix.

@RockitFX can you provide any documentation for this?

Hi, I don't know what documentation you would need, as all documentation about the software is readily available on the Madrix website. That being said, I no longer need any help with this matter as I've sold all of my stream decks & opted to continue using touch screen monitors insteads. While I still think the stream deck would work well for this application, I am not a software developer & apparently no one else was interested in this use case. Cheers.

Then I will close this request. Have a nice day!

Please reopen this request. Madrix is one of the best lighting control softwares on the market. I think it is widely used and really easy to implement as it already offers a html based control interface

Please provide the needed documentation.

I think in their manual there should be all the necessary info someone with basic coding knowledge (obviously that's not me haha) would need to build a companion Madrix remote module http://help.madrix.com/m5/html/madrix/input__remote_control.html

Also the team at Inoage has been really helpful with any request I've had in the past.

I suspect that the HTTP method would be the best way? https://help.madrix.com/m5/html/madrix/index.html?hidd_remote_http.html

Good day, Would it be possible to follow up on this module? I believe the either the HTTP method above or OSC would be the easiest to implement. Yes, I understand we can make it work through OSC, but if a module can be made to have chooseable actions instead of needing to type in every OSC command, it would be much more helpful (matching the MA3 lighting console OSC module). Thanks! https://help.madrix.com/m5/html/madrix/index.html?hidd_osc.html

@companion1188 happy to set up a repository for you if you decide to code this!

This would definitely be quite the large project for myself as I don't really know how to code it. Is there any way to get the coding for another module to check out how it was done? Or if anyone else wants to take a stab at it as well :)
