Hello everybody !

I bought a T2 and I would like to use a midi controler to control the fader and the button "flash".
I have a Korg nanoKontrol 2and it's ok for fader control.
I can control the Titan Suite Fader with the fader on my Midi Controller.

It's fine too to configure and trig my Midi Button for flash button.

But on some of my chase on the Titan Suite I use the flash button as a tap tempo.
And when I use my Midi Controller configured to that flash button the Tempo goes to 3600BPM and I cannot really tap the tempo.

I cannot find which configuration to change.

Could you help me ?

Is your trigger set to item or hardware?

I tried both.
And I want it to work on "hardware".

Could you help me ?

Unfortunately it does not appear to be possible to do this directly from a trigger as the trigger does not include the necessary timing information. One option would be to use the Tap Tempo factory macro which will work on whatever is currently connected (you can find this in the Show Library) and setup a trigger for that macro. Alternatively you could write your own custom macro that will run the Tap Tempo function on a playback of your choice regardless of whether it is connected:More information about macros can be found on the macro section of the forum.

Thank you for your help.

It's now working well !!

Can I jump in here and ask, is there a way to have the “tap” button also send out a dmx signal?

Basically I want to tap the tempo on my Titan mobile and also use this tap to set the tempo on resolume arena. So I’d need a 0-255 change on each tap on a single dmx channel.

Hi did you ever find away to send out a dmx signal from tap tempo in the end?

Kind regards Tristan

I would say this is just a question to extend the macro so that it also flashes a certain playback. Then you just need to program this playback so that it flashes a particular channel (just use a generic dimmer). I'd believe the most important details are to chose the correct MIDI control mode as well as the key profile of the button with the macro (you need to assign this macro to a button and then trigger this as hardware).

And how does one “extend the macro”?

By adding the relevant commands with a text editor me thinks

I'll have a look and post it here, okay?

That’ll be great cheers…. I’ve never edited the macros, so might need a bit of guidance…. Am using a Titan Mobile so not an issue getting to files etc.
