Midi Controller for Darktable

Thanks for making me aware of that.
To make it easier to find this information/files, I think I will add those two files to the thread here on pixls.us where the topic was raised.

The manual could preferably also link to this info.

The manual is separately maintained on GitHub. Everybody can contribute to it. Including you if you feel you want to give something back after being helped by others

This is not a finalized or “official” version, just what i am using since a while now with my loupedeck+ without any problems.

Here you find the relevant preferences:

The shortcut rc binding you should import:
loupedeck_plus.rc.txt (4.6 KB)

and some sort of manual
loupedeck_plus…pdf (168.8 KB)

Hope this helps you folks out there :slight_smile:

Yes, thanks a lot, @hannoschwalm, this was really helpful!

(I’ll post a link to this material from that other midi-thread were this was discussed.)

Oh that’s awesome! It makes me want to get a Loupedeck+.

(Now we just a similar preset to import for game controllers, which I —
and probably many others here — have. :smile:)

Have you tried visual mapping mode for setting up shortcuts (from a game controller or otherwise)? It should be very easy. And since a game controller has fewer buttons (without an intended meaning printed on them like the loupedeck) the likelihood that everybody will want to use them the same way is small.

There are keyboard shortcuts for all the siders. I have many mapped to a key hold and mouse button wheel, which move the sliders perfectly. With careful planning, you can have about 20 sliders available all within the reach of your left hand.
Its great!
