Ableton / Max4Live Devices to control ETC-EOS Lightdesks via OSC / Audio & MIDI
Hi there! I work as an audio engineer in theater, and I wanted to be able to precisely control lights and lighting cues along with audio. I was really unhappy with the existing options, so I decided to build my own Max for Live devices.
If you are running a show with Ableton / M4L & ETC EOS, these devices might be just as useful for you.
Here is an overview of how they work. All of the devices share these core features:
• IP Box: Enter the IP address of your ETC EOS lighting console here (Default: 127.0.0.1 / localhost).
• OSC Port: Enter the network port you are using (Default: 8000).
• Network Switch: Turn the network connection on or off. I recommend turning it off while writing automation to avoid creating chaos on the lighting desk.
• "READY" LED: After loading the plugin into Ableton, it takes 2 seconds for the network connection to initialize. This intentional delay prevents an initial "network bump" from accidentally sending a CUE 0 / Blackout command to the EOS console.
Audio 2 CUE:
Write automations directly on your audio track to fire light cues.
