Hey everyone. Haven't posted much as of late. However, I've been hard at work on my Lynx Express builds. I'm ready to start sequencing (I think). I've been trying to get some answers about LSP. This seems to be the most active place to ask this question of the LSP users here on DIYA.
1) Does anyone use a midi device to record/sequence via live input into the grid? (IE: assign midi note to channel, play midi note while in record mode, and play it back successfully).
2) FOllow up, if so, does it drop notes? How well does this feature work?
3) Can you also create a 'chase' or other macro/sequence that could be triggered/placed by a midi note press? (IE: I want to trigger a leaping arch channel 1-8 chase by pressing just the 'C' note at appropriate points in the song)
4) I have plans on using many BOBCAT servo boards. May I program a knob/slide to control LSP? I'd like to record live servo movement via a midi knob, and have LSP play back that data in the sequence for 3 axis skull heads, animated props, and whatever crazy stuff I dream up.
I'm thinking about purchasing LSP, but so many posts about crashes, stumbles, errors, and some even saying the whole midi/OSC/input recording system is a bust. I'm really just looking for some feedback from real users who have experience and are on 2.8. Without that confidence, I don't think I'll feel good about setting my show up with LSP.
Hoping to hear from some folks here on DIYA. This show will be almost all Lynx Express controllers. Either using a E1.31 Bridge or a DMX dongle that has been testes at length for long periods. (Entec Pro comp). Windows 7 32bit or 64 bit, Doesn't matter to me, I'll go with what you guys tell me.
Thanks in advance for any insight you are willing to share. I like what I see with LSP, but I only tested the demo. Midi doesn't work on the 2.8 demo. Plus, I have no real way to get a true feel for LSP in reality. Things act much different when talking to E1.31 and/or a dongle. Oh, I plan on only 160 DMX channels this year. All traditional strings, Lynx Express. Next year, I want to do at least 500-600 channels. I'll still be DMX and most likely all Lynx Express. I'm assuming this is cake walk for LSP to handle....
