Multiple Midi Controllers with Respolume and DMXIS

Post by lofivibe »

Good Afternoon Everyone,
I was able to get my lights up and running after endless trial and error. It was a faulty usb port on the back on my computer. I am now running into another issue. I have two APC 40 MK II midi controllers. Id like to use one with DMXIS and the other with Resolume to trigger videos and projection; however, when I plug in my second device for Resolume it says it is in use by DMXIS. When I look in the preferences of DMXIS it has both APC's checked off and I am unable to select just one or the other.

Does anyone have any advice? How can i make DMXIS look at just one midi device or the other?

Best Regards,
Hunter Smith

Do the two connected controllers have identical names in the Preferences Window? This could certainly cause the problem, as DMXIS stores and identifies MIDI controllers by name.

(Note - I would expect macOS or Windows to normally allocate different names e.g. APC40 and APC40-2)

It separates the consoles into 1 and 2 in the other softwares im using (Ableton and Resolume) but DMXIS is the only one reading them as the same.
