Control Menu

Mix Fader
Options for Mix Fader.

Zero All
Sets all mix faders to minimum.
Digital Mode
Switches use of digital mode.
In digital mode, clicking a mix fader flips minimum and maximum.
Even if digital mode is not in use, while holding down [option] (Mac) / [alt] (Windows) key, clicking mix fader behaves as digital mode temporarily.

Mix Control...
Options for controlling Mix Fader externally.
This option is set per Console window.

DMX Channels
Specify external DMX channel to be used for controlling Mix Faders.
This channel is used for left most Mix Fader in a console.
Following successive channels corresponds to right side Mix Faders each.
MIDI Channels
Specify external MIDI channel to be used for controlling Mix Faders.
This channel is used for left most Mix Fader in a console.
Following successive channels corresponds to right side Mix Faders each.
MIDI Controls
Specify external MIDI channel control message to be used for controlling Mix Faders.
This control number is used for left most Mix Fader in a console.
Following successive control number corresponds to right side Mix Faders each.

Scene Control...
Options for controlling Scene Memory externally.
This option is set per Console window.
In any case, identifiers of corresponding controlling element are shown in a scene list.

DMX
- Selector
  Using single DMX channel, its value (0〜255) corresponds to each scene in order.
  When the value changes, corresponding scene is triggered.
  Fade time set in each scene is used.
- Step
  Like a button, triggers scene one by one.
  
  When the value is raised from minimum (0), it is equivalent to pressing a button, and corresponding function takes place.
  Starting from Base Channel, channel number corresponds to each function in order.
  Fade time set in each scene is used.
  If [Sub Step] is selected, when either of two channels are raised, next scene is triggered.
  This is convenience for controlling by memory console.

  Fade time set in each scene is used.
- Fader
  Starting from Base Channel, channel number corresponds to each scene in order.
  When the value is raised from minimum (0), corresponding scene is triggered.
  The value of the channel is used for fade.
  (Fade time set in each scene is NOT used)
  Only increasing value (advance) is valid, and it cannot be retracted
OSC

A first argument of a OSC message at address "/scene" is used as integer, corresponded to each scene beginning from [ 0 ].
Each time a message is received, corresponding scene is triggered.
Fade time set in each scene is used.
This is convenient to trigger scenes by DoctorMX Cue Sheet.
MIDI Control
- Selector
  Using single MIDI channel/contoller, its value (0〜127) corresponds to each scene in order.
  When the value changes, corresponding scene is triggered.
  Fade time set in each scene is used.
- Step
  Same as [ Step ] of [ DMX ] explained above.
- Trigger
  Starting from Base Channel or Base Control, channel or control number corresponds to each scene in order.
  When the value is raised from minimum (0), corresponding scene is triggered.
  Fade time set in each scene is used.
- Fader
  Starting from Base Channel or Base Control, channel or control number corresponds to each scene in order.
  When the value is raised from minimum (0), corresponding scene is triggered.
  The value of the controller is used for fade.
  (Fade time set in each scene is NOT used)
  Only increasing value (advance) is valid, and it cannot be retracted
MIDI Note

Starting from Base Note, note number corresponds to each scene in order.
When note-on, corresponding scene is triggered.
With the [Fade Time by Velocity] option, acceding to keying strength (velocity), fade time varies within specified range.
Without this option, fade time set in each scene is used.
MIDI Program

Starting from program number [ 1 ], program number corresponds to each scene in order.
When program change occurs, corresponding scene is triggered.

Assign Control
Assigns external controllers to composition's unique parameters.

DMX
DMX 2
Use external DMX controller.
[ch] specifies DMX channel to be used.
[ DMX 2 ] uses two adjacent DMX channels (16bit), for finer control.
MIDI CC
Use MIDI channel control message.
[ch] specifies MIDI channel.
[cc] specifies control number.
MIDI Note
Use note number of MIDI note-on message.
[ch] specifies MIDI channel.
Last note-on in the channel is used.
If [gate], set to minimum value (note number 0) when the note is off.
MIDI Velo
Use velocity of MIDI note-on message.
[ch] specifies MIDI channel.
Checking left side of a note specifier, only the note is used.
Otherwise, maximum velocity from any note in a chord (polyphony) is used.
If [gate], set to minimum value when the specific note or all notes are off.
OSC
Use OSC (Open Sound Control) message.
Specify OSC address.
Sound
Use frequency spectrum, analyzed from sound input.

This is mainly intended for Audio Spectrum parameter of Music Visualizer type compositions.
RGB
Controls color by separate RGB and Alpha (opacity) components.
External controls are assigned for each component independently, R/G/B/A from top to bottom respectively.
(Unassigned components are preserved)
HSV
Controls color by separate HSV and Alpha components (Hue, Saturation, Value, Opacity).
External controls are assigned for each component independently, H/S/V/A from top to bottom respectively.
(Unassigned components are preserved.
But if [S] or [V] are low, [H] tends to be influenced)

Range
For numerical parameter, controlled value range can be specified.
Whole length of a controller device can be corresponded to specific value range of a parameter.
(if range is not specified, whole value range of a parameter is used)

In case of OSC, if range is not specified, data value of OSC is used as is.
In contrast, if range is specified, OSC data value [0.0] corresponds to [L] of parameter value, and OSC [1.0] corresponds to [H] of parameter value.

Relation Between Parameter and Controller Type
If specified controller type does not meet a parameter naturally, implicit conversion takes place.

Parameter\Controller	DMX, MIDI	Sound	RGB, HSV
Numeric	○	Maximum Amplitude	(unused)
Spectrum	All components are same amplitude	○	(unused)
Color	All components are same (gray) Opaque	All components are same (gray) with maximum amplitude Opaque	○
String	Text representation of amount normalized between 0 and 1	Text representation of maximum amplitude normalized between 0 and 1	(unused)

Numeric	○	Numerical	1/0/0
Spectrum	(unused)	(unused)	(unused)
Color	All components are same (gray) Opaque	Numerical all components are same (gray) Opaque	1/0/0 all components are same (gray) Opaque
String	Text representation	○	1/0/(empty)

External Control and Scene Memory

External and Scene
Always uses both external control and scene memory.
Switch to External
Once external control occurs, only external control is used onward.
(switching occurs per each parameter)
When Stop button in the Contoroller is pressed, scene memory becomes to be used again.
External Only
Only external control is used if a parameter is assigned external control.
(such parameter is not controlled by scene memory at all)

Silent Insertion
If checked, when composition or image is newly added as layer, its mix fader is set to minimum.
Also, when a filter is newly added, it is bypassed.
This prevents new image appear immediately.

Some compositions and images may take long time to be prepared, they may influence running animation.

Use DMX Input...
Select a DMX device for input.

[Device:] specifies a serial number of the DoctorMX (USB/DMX interface box).
Pressing the [Use] button, the DMX input is used.
Check mark on the menu item indicates that DMX input is in use.
(there is possibility that DMX input cannot be used, because, for instance, other application already use it)
Pressing the [Don't Use] button, the DMX input is not used.

Use ArtNet Input...
Specify use of ArtNet input.
Input from ArtNet is used as if it were from DMX input.
(Mix Control, Scene Contorl, External Control, and so on)

[Sub-net] and [Universe] must be matched to sender.
Pressing the [Use] button, the ArtNet input is used (UDP port).
Check mark on the menu item indicates that ArtNet input is in use.
(there is possibility that the UDP port for ArtNet input cannot be used, because, for instance, other application already use it.
A specific UDP port number is defined for ArtNet input)
Pressing the [Don't Use] button, the ArtNet input is not used.

Use Sound Input...
Select a device for sound input.

Pressing the [Set] button, the sound input is used.
Check mark on the menu item indicates that sound input is in use.
(there is possibility that sound input cannot be used, because, for instance, other application already use it)
Pressing the [Don't Use] button, the sound input is not used.

Use OSC Input...
Specify a UDP port to receive OSC (Open Sound Control), which is used by all OSC functionalities of SynVisum in common.
For details about OSC, refer to specification.

Pressing the [Use] button, the OSC input is used.
Check mark on the menu item indicates that OSC input is in use.
(there is possibility that specified UDP port cannot be used, because, for instance, other application already use it)
Pressing the [Don't Use] button, the OSC input is not used.

Accept DMX equivalent at "/dmx"
Accept DMX equivalent OSC message from [ OSC ] function of DoctorMX.
This DMX data is equivalent to that from a interface box, and can be used for Mix Control, Scene Control and parameter control.
Sender must specify OSC address as "/dmx".
This is convenient when a interface box is used for DMX output of DoctorMX.

Use Operation Panel Server...
Opens Operation Panel Server settings.
Pressing the [Use] button, the Operation Panel Server is used.
Check mark on the menu item indicates that Operation Panel Server is in use.
(there is possibility that specified TCP port cannot be used)
Pressing the [Don't Use] button, the Operation Panel Server is not used.

MIDI Input...
Specifies MIDI input ports for external MIDI devices.
Working MIDI input is indicated as [Open].
MIDI Time Code can be fed into these input ports.

Although multiple MIDI input ports can be used simultaneously, they are not distinguished.
Only MIDI channel number can be used to distinguish messages.

SMPTE Input...
SMPTE Time Code can be fed into these input ports.

Dead Zone...
Specifies dead zone of DMX channel value.
Channel value less than or equal to this setting is treated as zero.
This ensures a fader at minimum position even if output data is unstable.
It is important for starting movie playback by Mix Fader and scene control by DMX (see above).
(This setting is also applied for DMX equivalent from OSC)

Send Scene Selector
Sends a scene selector as OSC message each time a scene is triggered.
It is always sent regardless how a scene is triggered (manually/timed/externally).

Specify target UDP port and OSC address.
First argument is integer type, and corresponds to scene order beginning from [ 0 ] .
This is convenient to start a cue of DoctorMX by scene memory of SynVisum.
