Panic black via midi

Postby pace514 » Tue Oct 31, 2023 11:12 pm

Hello Claude !!!

I'd like to assign a kind of Panic Black Out cue to a key of my KORG NANOKONTROL2 no matter what. Would that need a script cue to deal with effects running, subs, cues or anything else or is there a straight forward way to do it ?

Thanks again !

Pascal

You can add a MIDI action triggered by a button on your controller that sets the master to zero. You'd need a solution to restore the master, perhaps most simple would be to do it manually in LXConsole's main window. Here's how to set that up.


Choose View->Setup.

In the setup window, choose MIDI from the list on the left side.

With your controller connected, click the "detect" button.

On the controller press the button you want for the panic black.

You should see the control change it sends in the lower right field next to the detect button.

Click the "+" button to add an action. The trigger should set to the control change for your button.

From the "Action Command" column, popup the combo box of pre-formed actions and find "master@%v"

Change this to "master@0"

Pressing the panic button on the controller should now set the master fader to zero.
