![Controlling Lights with Ableton: What’s the Best Approach? [Resource Guide]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/oZ_9UF7r9Ic/mqdefault.jpg)
Always showing something that I thought there should be and there is Scott doing an in depth video. MIDI gives me a headache but when it works its like magic
Thanks! I’m glad people are finding this helpful! It’s quite a niche product but man it works well
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!
Thanks! Great idea, I’m definitely open to it
Scott, while MIDI gives me a headache, your videos never do! Thanks for this one!
This is something I been looking for for awhile. Thanks for making your videos Scott. If not for your videos I wouldn’t have figured out how to do a lot of tech things. Midi gives me a headache, that is until I came across your videos which helped me out tremendously.
Great to hear! Happy to help. Midi takes a lot of time sometimes, but it’s insanely helpful!
I watched you do this at our buddies wedding! So awesome!!
Hey man! Nice! Yeah it worked really well at their wedding 🤘that was way better than having to turn it all on manually 🤘
Thanks Scott for another great video. Since watching your videos have I purchased and been using the Widi Jack, Widi Master, CME U6 midi pro, CME midi thru 6 BT and Stage Traxx3..finally on the way to having a great setup.
MIDI GIVES ME A HEADACHE…but it is worth it 👍
Awesome!! Glad you’ve enjoyed the channel and found it helpful!
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.
Awesome thanks for watching! Glad it’s been helpful. And I need to look into QLab more. I’ve heard good things
Bought!
Thanks again, perfect for Stage Traxx 3 -> Chauvet Gigbar Move+ ILS 🙏
Midi gives ME a headache! LOVE your site and vids, SO HELPFUL!!
Thanks for watching 😊
I have been looking for something like this for a long time. I am drummer and I want to control lights from my drum pad. Thank you so much for this review and all of your reviews. Even as a drummer I find your channel so useful.
Nice! Yeah that would work great! :) Thanks I appreciate that!
Great video Scott! Thanks for the info. Midi gives me a headache, however once you figure it out, it saves many headaches later.
Very true!
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. I think the DoreMidi would be just the ticket!
It would definitely work very well with stage Traxx!
Man. Lighting and midi in general are a lot to learn. Midi give me a headache, almost immediately. Very well explained. 👏
Thank you! I was worried it was too much haha
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!
Ooooh nice! I’m interested in checking out that MX2 when it comes out for sure! Thanks for letting me know 🤘
Hi Scott, MIDI GIVES ME A HEADACHE big time, but your videos are so precious!
MIDI is great when it works. MIDI gives me a headache when it all goes bad.
Great video as always.
Thanks man!
Scott, you give me so many ideas for improving my band’s show! But man, MIDI GIVES ME A HEADACHE!
Glad to help!
If you can program DMX, then watch Scott’s midi primer. It’s not that complicated.
Hi Scott, MIDI GIVES ME A HEADACHE 🤯. Thank you for your time spent sharing your experience and knowledge 🎸
Thanks for watching!
Very Cool. I'm going to go check out your programming videos now. MIDI gives me a headache, but that doesn't mean i don't need it. Thanks.
Thanks for checking out the channel! 🤘🤘
MIDI gives me a headache. Thanks for all your videos. A few have helped with equipment purchases. Keep them coming.
MIDI gives me a headache. But your vids help relieve that. Thanks!
Thanks for another super helpful video. I’m beginning to get into end control right now. And yes, MIDI gives me a headache
Midi gives me a headache! For real! Lol but I need to start doing more of it. This is a great video! Solves a lot of problems for me. Thanks Scott
Thanks! Glad it was as helpful to you as it was to me!
Thanks Scott. I have been seeking an “easy” way to control my DMX lights. Great information. MIDI gives me a headache!
This is definitely the “easiest” way that I have found after all the programming is done. Super helpful device!
Another great video Scott..
Thank you 🙏
I have been desperately searching for something this small factor and as simple as MIDI In and DMX out. A lot of controllers are USB in so this is very exciting! MIDI gives me a headache choosing between USB in and 5 pin MIDI in. Thanks for the video! Would love to control my lights with my B.Beat by M-Live.
This would pair REALLY well with the B Beat! I was looking for something small like this as well, and it works perfectly 🤘
You do have a gift to describe and explain complex problems. Thanks for sharing Awesome video, as usual, Personally I can't say MIDI gives me a headache but I have a thing for the gear. I'm looking forward to seeing next video.
Thanks! I’m glad to hear that. I went back and forth on the best way to explain this one since it was a bit more complex
I love the idea of using triggers to control things but MIDI gives me a headache! Thanks for the awesome content 👍 this video makes MIDI less of a pain 😁
Glad you liked it!
Oh man, MIDI gives me a headache, but thankfully my violin players does all of it in my group. We control our lights with a computer, but this little device could be of some use... Thanks Scott, as usual !
It definitely takes a while! Props to the violin player!
❤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.
Glad to help! Yeah I have a DMX controller, but I wanted something smaller, and this is perfect!
This is what I’ve been looking for forever!!!!! I’ve been looking for the Dmxis and as you know it’s discontinued but this is my solution. Thanks for the detailed video! And YES “Midi gives me a headache”.
I use Multitracker and I gotta figure out how to hook both up. 💆🏻♂️
Sweet! Glad to help! And the stuff by CME PRO (WIDI) will work great for it 🤘
I have a Dmxis that I don't use. Not sure if this gadget is the answer though. Seems like it would replace my Chauvet light controller though.
@@Riffman42 DMXIS is great! They just discontinued it for some reason
MIDI gives me a headache! But Scott give us answers! Thank You Scott!
Thank you!
MIDI gives me a headache. As always, Great Video!
Thank you!
MIDI gives me a headache… but not your videos!! Thank you as always!!
Glad you like them! 🤘🤘
Thanks Scott, very helpful video!! "MIDI gives me a headache"
Glad it helped!
Great video Scott! I’m using MIDI now for setting patches on drum machine, vocal processor, guitar effects, and keyboard patches. Might as well run down this DMX rabbit hole now for lights….lol…..MIDI gives me a headache!
Nice! Yeah, midi is the best when it works!
Midi gives me a headache dude this is so cool I have been setting all my lights individually to finally be able to control them all will make the shows look so pro!!
Yeah, it helps SO much!
@@ScottUhlMusic how much is the consulting in case i get stuck?
@@fearofnone2 You can find the currently pricing on my website at www.scottuhlmusic.com/consulting
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks so much
I have never messed around with any of this type of stuff but just watching your videos MIDI gives me a headache. However, when the day arrives where I need to start using MIDI, I know who I'm gonna call.
Haha yeah this one was somewhat complex, but works very well!
MIDI gives me a headache... your channel is helpful :)
Thank you!
Another awesome video, crammed with tons of great info and ideas. Much appreciated, Scott! I'm a fan for life. And, MIDI really DOES give me a headache!! LOL
Curious about the blue guitar over your right shoulder. I've never seen anything like that. What is it?
Ah the Babicz acoustic guitar :) my baby! It’s actually black, but it’s a super cool guitar that has the actual strings fan out like that. Really cool design!
MIDI gives me a headache. Nice vid, Scott.
Rarely have I seen a video and purchased an item before the video is over... I have been looking for a product like this for so long!
Nice! Glad to help 🤘🤘
I enjoy your videos 🎉
Thank you!
Scott, thanks for this review. I use midi triggers from ProPresenter to trigger events in Companion and Atem, and i have wanted to control just a few dmx lights, without having to step over into Ableton.
But because Midi gives me a headache, I've had to adjust commands off by one or two octives all the time. This devices seems great to send dmx without adding another software to the computer.
Thanks, Ben
Yup! I use ableton for my in-depth light show with my original music, but for just triggering different scenes, this is amazing!
Very cool 😂😊
Thank you 🙏
Great video as always Scott. Midi gives me a headache
Thank you!
@@ScottUhlMusic I’m trying to work out whether this could replace my ADJ operator 384?
Thanks again. 🖖🏽🍀
MIDI gives me a headache
I NEED THIS!! Midi gives me a headache!!
Excellent video! Unfortunately, Midi gives me a headache, so I need some advil after this!
Thank you 🙏
Been working on a live show to control with a pedal… this will help because: MIDI GIVES ME A HEADACHE!
MIDI gives me a headache. Great video
MIDI gives me a headache, but with this device, controlling the DMX through MIDI will be a game changer for me.
Definitely a game changer! Using it now actually
Great help just started useing lights. Midi gives me a headache!
Welcome aboard! Many long nights of tedious programming awaits you 😅
Midi gives me a headache - and that's why I need this product, I've been waiting for something this straightforward for a long time ! I'm looking forward to the integration with stage traxx ! Too bad it doesn't have a Learn function for midi. I was about to test lightkey, would you do a video on it ?
Thanks Scott, awesome content as always !!
Midi learn would be nice. I haven’t used Lightkey but I need to look into it! I need new software
@@ScottUhlMusic I've tested a few and here are my to pic : Photon, StageLight, Vibrio and Ligthrider. These support midi and require an Art-net node, I can tell you more of my thoughts on each if need be.
MIDI gives me a headache
Great video!!
Thanks!
Great video! I invested in the ODE MKIII by Entec and it's great and all, but it gives me a headache as much as MIDI gives me a headache. I would probably be better off with the device you showed off.
I need to check that one out too!
Yes, Midi gives me a headache, but I've learned to live with it. Learning how to program lights has been fun, but also frustrating.
I enjoy it, it’s just VERYYYYY tedious sometimes
Nice option for this application niceeee…
Great video as always, I've been curious about controlling DMX via MIDI for a while, but I've put it off cos MIDI give me a headache, ugh.
Glad to help!
MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR part of my rig!! MIDI gives me a headache lol
Scott, thank you for what you do. You have literally change my life for the better. Would this work with midi Jack for wireless midi from iPad using Stage Traxx 3? Any way to program chase scenes?
Thank you! 🙏 I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the channel. And yeah it would work with the widi jack, and I personally don’t know how to program chases on this device though
"MIDI gives me a headache" Hey Scott I still use my trusty DMXIS and Behriner FBC 1010 Controller, But Iwill have to look into this as well Thanks agin for all your vids Very informative Great stuff Keep Rockin' 😎
I wish they didn’t discontinue DMXIS! It was such a good system
Thanks for another great video. MIDI gives me a headache.
Thank you 🙏
Awesome video! I've been looking for something like this. I've been using StageTRaxx 3 as well...and man MIDI gives me a headache!
This will pair great with stage Traxx!
Great video, as usual! By the way, what do you call, and where did you get those acoustic panels on the wall? Are they helpful for the guitars in some way? I'm asking because I'm getting ready to wall mount eight guitars. Thanks.
Thanks! And the panels are just ones off Amazon. Nothing super pro. The hangers are also off of Amazon as well. I want to get stuff by GIK at some point for actual studio treatment
Amazon says its unavailable :( not able to purchase this. This would fit our band great, seems very compact and easy for everyone in our band to operate. Wish we had one to get started.
Awesome review as usual Scott. Keep’em coming bud!!
Oh weird…. I wonder why. It’s available for me!
maybe doesnt available in other countries? D Just shows up as unavailable on my end, im from Norway. 😅@@ScottUhlMusic
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.
Setting the VALUE will control the brightness of the lights, but it will depend on your lighting. Some lights are just on or off
Midi gives me a headache but I love using it for patch changes.
Same here 💪
Nice compact way to remote trigger a few smart bars like your Chauvet even if MIDI gives me a headache :)
Yup! It works really well :)
@@ScottUhlMusic I might consider one to consolidate a smaller setup even as I work in integrating a full sync'd lighting right with QLC+ on Windows being triggered from Ableton following some inspiration from one of your earlier automation videos. Quite the learning curve and setup...
Midi gives me a headache! But great video :D
Thank you!
MIDI gives me a headache
but its so damn handy!
Couldn’t agree more 💪
Midi gives me a headache. But DMX gives me a migraine, I think I need this device.
Hahahahahaha I should have had that be the phrase 😂😂
Great video...is it possible to use in conjunction with MIDI sent by a computer (from Logic for example)? or for the sake of sanity is better to have the lights controlled by a foot switch separated from the computer? I know MIDI always gives me a headache...
Thanks! And anything that sends midi will work 👍
Our band runs sound and lights from stage. Currently using a tablet to control lights but a nice midi controller and this would be a great backup! But I’m no MIDI master and MIDI gives me a headache!!
I just bought an Enntec usb pro dmx, but I wish i had knew of the DoreMidi option before T_T, It seems like it would be easier to integrate within a DAW-Backingtrack inear sync style.
(enntec works great, but paying rent for the Emu software, or any software, is a dealbreaker for me. Also, programming midi is way easier than learning and setting QLC+ up, at least for now).
any opinions about this?
I loved my Dmxis, but I won’t pay for a lighting software for a monthly fee. I’ll pay for it flat out, but not a monthly fee. I really don’t like that they went that route
Great video! Thanks so much for putting this together @ScottUhlMusic ! Do you happen to know if I wanted to convert a MIDI signal to DMX signal to send to a Lightning Director so they can control the MIDI ran device using there DMX console, would the MTD-1024 by DoreMidi be the best way to go? Thank you so much for your time and help
Thanks! And this device is cool, but it’s definitely limited because it’s tough to do chases or anything like that with it. It’s better for loading scenes/presets/etc
MIDI gives me a headache. Make midi great again 😎🤘
Hey Scott, i was wondering if this would be possible to do using the stage traxx 3 and widi master? I would love to be able to have a light show going along with my backing tracks and midi commands to my helix.
Yup, definitely!
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
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?
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
MIDI gives me a headache. Until it works, then it’s incredible!
Ain’t that the truth!
@@ScottUhlMusic would love to hear a review on the ADJ WMX1 Lighting Controller as an entry/mid-tier compact lighting controller.
Hey Scott! Super helpful. I'm wondering about that amber dimmer. You don't ever turn it off right? So you push and release and it's set to 16. Then if you push the blue button, you're going to get amber and blue right? Just trying to understand how the Midi Captain and DoreMidi work together.
Thanks! And anything that goes on basically ALWAYS has to go off live. I was just demoing this to make it make the most sense for a video
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks. Since the midi captain sends 6 commands on down press and 6 on up, does that mean you're limited to a max of 12 DMX channels?
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.
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
@@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?
Hi Scott - another great video and product. What MIDI Controller/keyboard do you use create a midi track in your DAW, and how is it cabled up? Does the DoreMidi box help/hurt? My goal is to set up my Nektar Impact MIDI keyboard to drive the DMX 384 controller which in turn both drives the light changes and also sends the MIDI info into my DAW (using Studio One 4.x at the moment). This works, but then the playback is not working. I literally have to reset the cabling to get the DAW to drive the DMX 384. Totally inefficient. I will pay for consulting if that is what needs to happen! Thx
If you are using a computer, then using some sort of lighting software would be easier than using this device imo. This is more for trigging lights without a computer
MIDI gives me a headache - but I must endure! My band depends on my migraine coping abilities! Haha! This would really help though.
We all have to get through the midi headache 😅
Hi Scott, thanks for the great videos👍👍. I’m using multi tracker, can it output midi via the lightning port (using cam kit) AT THE SAME TIME as audio from headphone Jack? TIA very much 🙏
You should be able to do that yes 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic thanks!
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.
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
@@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
Scott! Will this device input midi through the usb cable? Planning on automating lights with midi through ableton. Thanks!
Hmm... good question, I actually don't know. I've just used it with the 5pin MIDI. I would reach out and ask, that's a good question! I don't know why I didn't think of that.
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.
Another great video Scott. One correction, "Midi gives me a headache" is not a magical phrase- its a stone cold fact. cheers.
😂😂 ain’t that the truth!
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? 😅😁
Haha it gives me a headache for sure, but I absolutely love it!
so i was just looking at this device. Im currently using a ADJ operator for my stream light, which my chat can control through my bot which sends midi commands. I had to do a bunch of work around to get some stuff to work, but i was looking at this, is there any way to do a chase in the device or would the chase have to be programmed on the midi side?
the few things i wish the operator would allow you to do is adjust fade and speed. So i was looking at this in hopes its more "generic" or allow me to change those settings as well than the operator
I’m not sure how to do a chase with this device. I would use software personally for that with midi, because that’s more. This is more for setting scenes and stuff like that imo
@@ScottUhlMusic ok cool, thats what i though. I would have to program my bot for the chase vs this device. either way from what i was reading and what not i would have more control over my lights from a midi standpoint with this vs the operator. Since that only has like 5 functions.
i saw one of your videos where you used the ADJ operator, do you like that more or this device for remote operation with midi?
Loving your video, keep up the awesome work!
2 questions: First, where has this device been? I have been trying a number of things to synch my lights to a midi track playing through Multitracker and this looks like it might be the answer! Second, it appears that by sending different cc values (0-127) it will change the intensity of the light? At least, that’s what it looks like when you sent two different values to the amber light. Thanks.
I’m not sure where the company is front, but yes, most of the time the value will set the brightness of the light 🤘
Thanks. I am going to get one now
MIDI gives me a headache
but also solves problems
MIDI gives me a headache but then so does too much beer 😂
Don't know if this is perfect or worst timing. I just finished setting up my Helix to control qlc+ and change scenes and chases for my pop punk band. However I am programming some pretty complex scenes that follow the music and have fades and all that
Oh nice! As long as you find something that works for you, that’s what’s important!
Scott - hope you don’t mind the question - ever run midi clock to analog to set a tap tempo on a sound board? Or soundtrax3 to footswitch?
I have not done that, no. I need to do more stuff with midi clock as I don’t use it that often

MIDI gives me a headache!
I'm trying to use my old Boss GT-10 as a midi console. So it's very true...😊
Looks like a nice piece of equipment if you want to program your lights with MIDI, but MIDI gives me a headache. With the Entec DMX USB Pro, you can connect it by USB to your computer and use software (free or paid) to design your scenes which may make it easier (depending on your lights/effects).
Yup that’s true too! I just don’t bring my laptop to most shows, so this works very well
MIDI gives me a headache. I need a product like this to ease my pain😂
