Midi out in standalone mode

Dose the prime 4 plus send midi out of USB, stagelinq, or Ableton link when in regular standalone mode. I’m trying to control effects in resolume.

Hey @High_V3locity - PRIME 4 and P4+ work with resolume via ethernet cable.

Ableton link will work over ethernet or wifi.

More accurately, they only work with Resolume Arena via ethernet cable.

@aaaguy @PKtheDJ It only sends bpm/play head position and fader position to resolume via stagelinq. I’m trying to control dashboard effects via the eq knobs and fx knobs. Only way to do so is if the controller sends out midi and then I assign those knobs to parameters within resolume.

No, there’s much more interactive control.

You would think based on that video, but notice what mixer he’s using. The stage link is sending timecode from the decks. But all those effect changes are done via midi out of the mixer. I would love to be wrong but from all the documents and investigate I’ve done. They are using USB midi in that video above.

I’m obviously not paying attention, because I said as much back in 2022 (see below) :roll_eyes:

Your best bet is probably an Akai LPD8 or similar.

It’s pretty lame that stagelinq doesn’t send midi or more control over the protocol. I guess I won’t even use stagelinq I’m currently using Ableton link over wifi to sync bpm to resolume and then I’m using soundswitch to trigger columns and adjust dashboard controls/effects. It works great but was hoping to make it more interactive.

I guess in theory the Prime 4 could output MIDI from the USB A ports via a USB-MIDI dongle, but at the rate Denon add customer requests, it would be a long time coming (if ever).

I don’t see why they can’t make it output midi in standalone mode. It’s most likely already outputting midi to the built in operating system to control everything. They just need to add a slider in settings for midi pass through out of the USB-B

If I understand you guys correctly…

The idea that I could set up something to happen when I press my Sample pad, in addition to the sample being played, would be really cool.

I think you are setting up way more advanced stuff than this, but even something simple like this would be incredible.
