Airence Jingleplayer and more, lights on panel control.

Hi.

I'm using Prxx for 1 year now, and I'm gonna buy a new mixer.

D&R Airence,

The D&R Airence has programmable lights on it. However, there is an automation software from D&R, but,
if you can add this function, it would be very nice.

for further questions, you can PM or email me.
Thanks in advance.

Looking to the D&R web-site, I found this:

Controlling your software application
In order to be able to control a software application (i.e. play out software) with the Airence control signals (control module /
USB channel controls), one can choose one of the two available methodologies as can be seen in the figure below.
The first method is most applicable for software developers of the controlled application, who are able to integrate the Airence
USB HID Control Protocol in their application. For more information about the protocol refer to the Airence USB HID Control Protocol
chapter at the end of this document.
The second method uses a ‘mapper-application’ in between the HID messages and the controlled application and is created for
the end user. The Virtual Keyboard Mapper maps the control signals coming from the Airence mixer to standard keyboard keystrokes.
In such a way pressing a switch on the control module will lead to a customized keystroke which controls a specific function
inside the controlled application (play out software) for example.
• Method 1 (developer): - Direct access to control messages
- Full duplex: read control signals / control LED’s inside the switches
- Programming is necessary to integrate the protocol in the application
• Method 2 (end user): - Easy to use (No programming for integration in application needed)
- Half duplex: read control signals
- Quick started using the Virtual Keyboard Mapper features

With ProppFrexx you can use 'Method 2' - just like the application shipped with D&R is doing
Meaning when pressing one of the D&R switches it sends a custom definable keyboard event to the PC.
As ProppFrexx also has a freely definable Hotkey mapping feature - it looks, like that mixer and PF can easily talk to each other.

Thanks for your reply.

Isnt it possible to let propfrexx configure the leds?
Maybe something for the wishlist..

I have the configuration and commands to turn on the leds.. Now I have to integrate it into PF,
so PF can send this info automatically.

You can write an interface yourself if really needed.
And call that interface via the PF control commands.
Or let someone else write such interface.
As far as I can tell it is a proprietary USB HID interface.

Can't you guys just integrate this for me?

Here's the modul:

Can you guys plz? Its an mixer from around 3000 euros, so I want it fully functionally with PF..

I can give you guys some help with the integration of colour-select menu.
A LOT of dutch internet stations use the Airence, so this would be a nice option, because there are few softwares that ectually can do this.

Btw, I mean let pf commanucate with the mixer. So when I play a function on the side panel, it changes colour or starts blinking etc.

As said, currently ProppFrexx doesn't support that proprietary interface.
But if you can find someone which can develop such interface, that all should be fine I guess.
