Creating Showkontrol Cuelists and triggering Resolume

In the video, we look at creating a simple cue list in Showkontrol for an audio track and using it to trigger clips in Resolume.

How to load an audio track and create cue markers which will send OSC triggers to play video clips in Resolume, and how to set Showkontrol to trigger your clip deck in Resolume on track load.

Great video! Question: Why does Resolume not having just as easy cuelist build in like Avolites/MA/ShowKontrol have? I can't find any good tutorial how to setup a timecode in resolume... i can only set a start delay on every clip, but thats very weird? and i cannot find the option to start a column...

Thanks, Yeah Resolume doesn't have tools to build out a cue list style sequence. (the closest thing is autoplay next clip) As far as I know Timecode in resolume can only be used for synchronising playback of clips. This is where external control systems like showkontrol are good for triggering via OSC

Hey man awesome video! Does show kontrol automatically know what song is playing based on what the DJ is playing on each deck? Or do you manually have to advance the set list

[@mith]

Hi Julian, Sorry for the late reply. Yes ShowKontrol will take the information from the CDJ

[@tylerthompson1092]

Is there a status call for these cues? If you were to launch your deck between 2 cues would it call the cue it should be playing? or would it wait until it receives the next cue in the list?

[@deweizhao1665]

Do I need to manually click master every time I change songs? Will not automatically recognize switching playback? Can showkontrol edit master shortcuts?

[@mith]

Its been a little while since I've done an event. Pretty sure Master should live follow from the Mixer

[@jochemmessmer]

Hey awesome tutorial! One question: does this also work when there's only a DJM-900NXS2 connected to Showkontrol and the DJ is using CDJ-2000NXS , not NX2? So will the DJM900NXS2 know which track is on the master?

[@mith]

Hi Jochem, Showkontrol only works with certain Pioneer hardware (best to check the website), but I believe even if the Mixer isnt recognised by Showkontrol the CDJs will flag master

[@Castrouk_]

Great video, thank you! I have a question: Does the track need to be on the master layer for it to trigger the cues? Or will cues be triggered even if the track is just assigned to layer A or layer B?

[@mith]

Hi Castro, I believe only one cuelist is running at a time so needs to be the master.

cool

[@DJPIN3APPL3]

Can you use ShowKontrol to send OSC information from one computer to another that has Resolume or this solution only works when both software are running on the same computer?

[@mith]

Absolutely, that's how this was done.

[@DJPIN3APPL3]

MITH tv Are the two computers connected via Ethernet cable to send the information? I apologize, I am new to this kind of things.

[@mith]

Yes in my setup that's how they were connected. OSC does work over WiFi (however I haven't tested with ShowKontrol)

[@DJPIN3APPL3]

MITH tv Perfect. I will mostly never be in a wifi zone during gigs so good to know I only need an Ethernet cable plugged between the two computers. Thank you very much for your help.

I am curious to see if Showkontrol and vdmx5 work together

[@mith]

As far as I know there is no direct link, however i'm sure a similar approach could be done with OSC. It's been a long time since i touched vdmx...

[@Vjsa_mmy]

Please I use window system for showkontro

[@mith]

ShowKontrol is currently Mac only

[@黄枫华-t2e]

这个软件可以控制灯光吗

[@mith]

Yes, Resolume has the ability to send Artnet 是的，Resolume可以發送Artnet

Amazing software. Terrible UI.
