Convert MIDI to DMX and CONTROL YOUR LIGHTS Live - DoreMidi MTD1024

[@ablocke1188]

this video is so, so helpful. i've been looking at this device for months and finally got it in my hands today. the user manual and doremidi "tutorials" are whack but you've actually provided a comprehensive lesson & it's much appreciated!! there's so little info available on this thing but you did a great job explaining it. i probably watched this vid 20x before purchasing and another 10x today. i'm using it with an Elektron Digitakt, which is great because note commands make the most sense to me, and the digitakt shows the note conversions on screen. i'm working on my first light setup and could not have done it without this video + your beginner's guide to DMX. you're an excellent teacher. Thanks so much Scott! xx

Nice! Glad to hear that it’s been working well for you 🤘

[@StudioBugBX]

I just wanted to say thank you for such a comprehensible breakdown of the process. Not only did you show us the process you gave us devices that can help in building our setups. You sir, are Amazing for this.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Hey man! Nice! Yeah it worked really well at their wedding 🤘that was way better than having to turn it all on manually 🤘

[@davidseabury3941]

Was cautious about getting the device. Don’t mind complexity, but didn’t want flakiness. I did go ahead and buy it and with the help of your video (and experience with both MIDI and DMX), I was quickly able to get it working. I’m so excited to explore the new possibilities this will afford me!!

[@EnmandsBand1]

I just ordered it, how do you program the thing? Is the PC editor working or is it only programmable via that one knob? IT would take me days to get my 6 LED lights programmed with one knob!

[@davidseabury3941]

@@EnmandsBand1 I’m using a MacBook so can’t confirm one way or the other about the PC editor. For my initial minimum testing, I only used the button. Since that would clearly be impractical for a large setup, I certainly would expect the editor to be working. As it turned out in my case, I switched to the Enttec DMX USB Pro and Qlab for my current community theatre needs as I had audio, video and lights to coordinate. I plan to revisit DoreMIDI for future applications more oriented to musical light shows.

[@johnhorning2506]

Scott, while MIDI gives me a headache, your videos never do! Thanks for this one!

[@markporo]

This is perfect. I've looked at that device and wasn't sure if it would do the trick. Now I know! I'd love to see a future video of you dialing in lights/ programming movement to one of your songs. I think that would be very insightful for designing a light show for beginners. MIDI gives me a headache, but Scott Uhl explains it really well so life is better now. Thanks Scott!

[@timparkin9805]

Thank you for this, I am just starting to get into DMX prior to looking at investing into lighting for a community theatre based in Thailand. "MIDI GIVES ME A HEADACHE" - actually having been a professional musician for 40 years and using no end of MIDI controllers, DAWS etc. it actually doesn't, but for DMX I am a complete beginner. I also use Qlab extensively so I can see the potential of this to send MIDI/DMX cues as well. I've watched a number of your videos in recent months and all have been very useful.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Awesome thanks for watching! Glad it’s been helpful. And I need to look into QLab more. I’ve heard good things

[@CaptureNotes]

Scott, MIDI gives me a headache, however, it does offer a lot of goodness! Your video is once again awesomely done, you’ve been incredibly helpful. I’ve been using the Donner wireless system for a few years now and it’s worked flawlessly. I recently got a GigBar Move + ILS and after being disappointed with the controls, I ended up getting a WMX1 (i.e. Wolfmix MX1). While it’s really designed for DJs, I was able to use it for my bands last gig by setting up Presets, and using a column or row “trigger” to simulate chases. There’s a lot of goodness in the WMX1, and I understand they have a MX2 coming out with built in Midi. It may be something for you to look at at some point in the future for another level of control. Thanks again for your awesome videos, you’ve been a huge help and inspiration!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Ooooh nice! I’m interested in checking out that MX2 when it comes out for sure! Thanks for letting me know 🤘

[@BosqueBrothers]

MIDI gives me a headache! Truer words were never spoken. Thanks for an excellent review, Scott. I'm just starting to get into lights and am eager to integrate the control over MIDI through my Stage Trax 3 app. It's been working great with the HX Stomp.

[@drummingwithscissors661]

❤WOW! I’m currently trigging our light show using MultiTracker to send midi notes to an analog Rockville DMX board. ❤The device you review in this video would make life so much easier when programming our automated light shows for each backing tracks. ❤While “midi gives me a headache” I think the DoreMidi will make programming so much easier and reduce set up time. It’ll also reduce our stage foot print since the DoreMidi would fit right into our rack without taking up 4 spaces like the Rockville DMX board. Plus the Rockville analog board can only receive messages on channel 1 so I can’t change that which impacts all the patch changes and our other control changes. ❤Once ahead great review. Thank you so much Scott. I’m really thinking about making a video about how our band has implemented all your tutorials.

[@kidamazed]

I like that you're always willing to try out new stuff. I'm just like that myself whilst a lot of people that I work with are mostly afraid when I'm introducing new technology 😅. This could be the cleanest solution yet. Ideally I would like a plain converter, without any display or buttons. Most of these USB DMX solutions require additional software which is not interesting for med since I will automate MIDI in Logic that I will send to control the lights. Question: Is this device isolated? I.e.: is it safe for a computer if any electronic shenanigans occur? Can't find any info about that. I'm not an expert but I've read that this is important to think about.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And yeah it’s a great device. No idea about being isolated though. I haven’t really heard of that for usb powered devices

[@kidamazed]

@@ScottUhlMusic I'm just learning about this and it makes sense to me that isolation should only be an issue when receiving a signal, and I do find a note about this in their manual on "MIDI IN", namely: "Optical Isolator", so I think/hope it's safe. Questions: As I do find it a little annoying to use a display and knob to setup everything, I wonder if there is a dedicated software for this, preferably on Mac? And on that note, what does it do if you don't program anything? Ideal for me would be a default setting that the first note or CC would correspond to DMX 1 and so forth, but that's probably not the case right?

[@andyseaward8816]

After sifting through the avalanche of information, I finally found a simple way to control a Chauvet cheap DMX light controller using Logic Ext Midi Track. Each note - recorded from a midi keyboard- corresponds to a pre set lighting scene on the Chauvet The secret to the chaos is making ALL the ‘notes’ cut off at the same time - each key press has to be sustained until the end of the song otherwise, lifting ANY key triggers a global ‘Lights Off’ signal. So you end up with lots of ‘notes’ which are all selected and then cut at the exact same end point, generating one single Blackout signal It just needs a few milliseconds to reset, in other words, the Blackout at this end point can last for just a brief flash, such as at the end of the song. Was gonna make a video. Hope this helps someone.

[@nordicguitar8395]

MIDI gives me a headache when it’s not consistent either 0-127 or 1-128. But I love MIDI. With my band I use Studio One for stereo backing tracks then a click track for us plus a MIDI track that transmits to a DMX controller for timed lights with our songs. This device would be nice because I could use a MIDI foot controller with another universe and trigger some special effects at will.

Yeah, there is always some sort of tweaking that needs to happen lol

Can i control the dmx lights with this device and just my Mac using the midi editor in ableton?

I wanted to ask you a question about MIDI, to see if there is any luck and you can help me. I want to launch the lights with the BBeat sequence after watching your video, for that, in the Daw, I program the lights through a DMX controller, I have already done this and it works. Then I export a MIDI file from Daw with the lighting track I made and include it in BBeat, in the MIDI section. That's when the problem comes, BBeat does see my track, imports it, but creates a flat sequence, and of course, it doesn't send midi to the DMX controller. The truth is that I'm a little desperate now, let's see if you can give me a hand, thank you. All the best

Glad you like the B Beat! And you should be able to send messages to something like the DOREMIDI device to convert it to DMX. Although there is a device called the MVP by 4Cast I’m excited about that will be better at converting midi to DMX. But it should automatically work with b beat

@@ScottUhlMusic Thank you very much for your response and sorry for insisting. The file is correct, I used a U2MIDI cable from the DAW to the ADJ Operator DMX and it recorded the track correctly and lights up correctly when playing it from the DAW. Also, I have exported the file and re-imported it and it is correct, correct notes, channel 12 as in your video, I understand that everything is fine. Therefore, the problem is when sending it from the BBeat to my ADJ. I do it with a mini jack (BBeat output) to midi (ADJ input) cable, but it doesn't do anything. I have checked the channel and record on 12 and the file also goes on 12, and the ADJ also goes on 12. I know that in your video you export MIDI to a pedal board via bluethood, but I would appreciate it if you could make one explaining the output to the ADJ with the MIDI file recorded in the BBeat, that is, a continuation of the one you have, since that is where the problem is. BBeat users thank you for your explanations, since thanks to you, we can get the most out of this wonder. Thank you very much for your work. All the best

MIDI gives me a headache, but somehow I'm still using it since 1986 and now I'm still running MIDI files on my live shows every weekend with inserting midi notes on channel 16 to control my DMX light show using FreeStyler DMX program. What am I going to do without MIDI? 😅😁

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Haha it gives me a headache for sure, but I absolutely love it!

[@fredericksackey1530]

Awesome video. Do you need a midi controller to use this device? Or can you control your lights directly with a pc using something like Ableton?

[@fredericksackey1530]

Follow up, do you need a plugin to use this device with a PC?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

You can use either 👍 Whatever you want to send midi to the device. Although if you have a computer, using lighting software might be easier

[@fredericksackey1530]

@@ScottUhlMusic thanks. yeah the makes sense. The reason I'm using Ableton is to sync the lights with music. So I'll have to map notes to dmx values using the MTD device.

Midi gives me a headache but I love using it for patch changes.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Same here 💪

[@chucksaeger7500]

Your video is spot on but I’m no where near this yet cause I’m still trying to learn about your other stuff. However; am I correct in saying that you don’t necessarily need this if you run Stage Traxx3? I’ll go ahead and say “Midi gives me a headache” but I hope it’s short lived.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Stage Traxx doesn’t have a way to run lighting directly. But stage Traxx does SEND midi, so the idea is the same as I did with the midi captain. Just with stage Traxx sending the midi

[@chucksaeger7500]

@@ScottUhlMusic So you have to have this device to convert the midi coming from Stage Traxx 3 to dmx which activates your lights, right? Thanks

[@BrandonWells]

you like this one more than the Enttec stuff?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I have Dmxis and I love it and it works well. But that’s for automated midi stuff with a laptop (which I do with Spiral Cell)… not for this kind of stuff which is different imo. I need to look into other ENTTEC stuff. Do they have something similar to this? I despise that their new software is a subscription service. I cannot stand that, and I know that I’ll get to a venue with no Wi-Fi and it will give me a “please confirm your subscription now” message at some point. That’s the main reason I hate subscriptions

MIDI gives me a headache. Until it works, then it’s incredible!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Ain’t that the truth!

[@threechordtruthrva]

@@ScottUhlMusic would love to hear a review on the ADJ WMX1 Lighting Controller as an entry/mid-tier compact lighting controller.

[@francescochissale]

I would buy it straight away! Quick question tho: for a certain DMX signal which would send out fades (I.E. Dimmers) and stuff like that via MIDI, would it be doable with an AfterTouch signal? If so: how would you set the unit for that to work properly? Otherwise which way would you recommend?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

That I don’t know, I’m not sure how to program “fades” or “transitions.” I do that with DMXIS with midi out of Ableton personally. But I don’t know how to do it with this method

[@SteveSampsonMusic]

MIDI gives me a headache Great video!!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks!

[@Koksajz]

Hi Scott amazing video. I would like to ask, if it is possible to control the dimmer on the lights. For example if you have a live show with backing tracks and the lights are programmed to change to the music. You would program the lights in a daw export them and play the via cymatic audio or the M-Live B.Beat. I use the a Chauvet Obey 40 dmx controller live and it can not use the dimmer this way it is either 100% or 0%. Sorry for the confusing comment.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Setting the VALUE will control the brightness of the lights, but it will depend on your lighting. Some lights are just on or off
