Kick Drum (with MIDI trigger sending MIDI Note #36)
Time signature = 4/4
Drum pattern = Kick drum on each 1/4 note (1,2,3,4)
Desired lighting response = A light to go ON and OFF for each single MIDI note (execute 2 steps in a scene per single MIDI note)
I want a "Four on the floor" kick drum pattern and lights to go ON and then OFF for each hit of the kick drum.
This would be 2/1 with BEAT activated.
But in order for this to work you have to calculate the time between each step in the scene based on the current tempo. If the current tempo is 120 then:
1/4 note = 500 ms
Desired results:
A Single MIDI Note hit executes a scene containing 2 steps, each step is 250ms.
(Turn lights on [step1] then 250 ms later turn lights off [step2])
This will pulse the lights with the kick drum.
That is a very specific user requirement. It seems to me like you're taking a very complicated approach to a simple problem. You would be far better off performing with a click track and pre-configured scenes that can be triggered with a MIDI note track in a DAW like Ableton. I do this and the lights sync perfectly with the music. If you'd like help setting this up, I'd be happy to help. It works very well for us.
