Setup
Categories:
PMX-1 has several components that can be configured. Generally if there are no conflicts with ports on your system, the defaults should all work out of the box. Nevertheless, the following section will provide an overview of what can be configured and how.
The Audio Output
The outputs of the layer mixer are configured to be automatically connected to the default output set in the pipewire metadata. Use your favorite system tool to select the output you want to use.
OSC API
The OSC API is the main means of communication with PMX-1. It is used to control the various parameters of the filter chains that comprise the heart of the mixer.
Network Receiver
The port which network receiver listens on is currently hard-coded to 33334.
Network Sender
The address and port to which network sender sends to is currently hard-coded
to 127.0.0.1:3300.
Open Stage Control
To configure Open Stage Control to send and receive osc messages set up the following:
- Set send to
127.0.0.1:33334 - Set osc-port to
3300
Control Surfaces
A mixer wants to be controlled by fader, knobs and buttons, PMX-1 is no exception and comes with robust controller support.
Faderfox PC-4
The Faderfox controller has to be connected to the Midi Router. Additionally, because it can be highly customized, if the default configuration has been changed, the config has to be changed to factory settings.
Behringer CMD MM-1
This one is plug and play, it only needs to be connected to the Midi Router, the wireplumber scripts should take care of everything.
Traktor Z1
The Traktor Z1 is actually not a midi controller, but registers as a HID device
which Linux exposes as a file named /dev/hidrawX. The device to use is
configured in ~/.config/traktor-z1.config. The configuration file recognizes
exactly one entry DEVICE_NAME=<device_name> where <device_name> is the
absolute path to the device file.
GRPC API
The port which the GRPC API listens on is currently hard-coded to 50051.
