Time MIDI sender

Sends MIDI notes according to a file. Made for use with DasLight

Setup in DasLight

First open dasLight and setup MIDI in the settings. Then right-click on the scene you want to time trigger and select Shortcut>Edit midi-mapping

Then edit your points.dat (you can rename it). The syntax is easy: time:yourNr.0/5 So time is the time in milliseconds counted from song start. yourNr is the "Amount" (or Anzahl in german). If you want to turn a scene on use yourNr.0, if you want to turn it off use yourNr.5. You can comment your code with #. When using #, you should be aware that 1500:60.5 # Test will fail. Example file:

# Valid comment
1500:60.0
2500:60.5  # Invalid comment

This file will start the scene "60" and turn it off after one second.

How to use config files

There are three attributes in a config file. The file should end with *.conf. All files(config, marker and music) need to be in the same folder. The folder needs to have the same name as the config and the makerfile (except for the file ending) Example file (when the file is called myProject.conf):

port:testLoopback 3
music:Eyes_of_Glory.mp3
marker:myProject.dat

music is your music file. port is your digital MIDI port. marker is your marker file.
