Hi Buffos,

There is actually a list in the Properties window:

You can have different layouts saved here and switch between them at runtime.
If that doesn't satisfy your needs, we can add something to our request list based on your needs, if you can describe how it would fit together with this list panel.

Note, if you use OSC and MIDI Controller In or Out modules, then you can even dynamically change between OSC paths or MIDI notes.

Warmest regards,

I know about that, and this is why I said, "To be able to define (in the same menu) outgoing messages based on value changes."
If I am not mistaken, this menu option is about incoming messages (and is extremely useful).

What I am trying to do is communicate bi-directionally with Stream Deck and a Midi-Control board (such as Behringer X-Touch).
I can communicate fine with OSC to Stream Deck, and with Behringer with Midi. There is no problem with that.

But if I try to assign OSC or MIDI commands to a field from the UI, this is only for the incoming message. If the value changes inside Aximmetry (usually within Playlist), the only way to send the change back to the control board, is to search through the compound and add outgoing OSC or MIDI messages (which is what I do for my own compounds)

This has two problems
a) It practically negates the ease of assignment by right-clicking on the field.

b) It is fragile, when the compounds are Aximmetry's compounds. For example, paths, cameras, and billboards. If I dive in and add osc and midi out commands, I should unlink those compounds, and after any update, I should dive in again and redo the work for every field. Not very practical.
It's doable, of course (I enter the compound and expose the pins I am interested in and then do the osc and midi assignments, basically the outgoing, since the incoming can be made directly from the exposed control boards).

I just try to keep Aximmetry and external control boards in sync.

I hope I am describing the workflow correctly. Any suggestion for an alternate workflow (mainly for outgoing message)

Hi Buffos,

It makes more sense to me now.

For Stream Deck, you can just use the Aximmetry plugin for Bi-directional communication: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/setting-up-inputs-outputs-for-virtual-production/external-controllers/using-elgato-stream-deck-to-control-a-scene/

For adding such functionality to the Assign options, we added it to our request list and we will consider adding it in future releases.

Warmest regards,

@Eifert: Using Stream Deck directly with Aximmetry isn’t nearly as useful as using it with Companion. Broadcast studios use Stream Deck Companion for controlling a lot of studio gear, and it’s most often not practical to d dictate a Stream Deck to just controlling Aximmetry. Just a simple and direct way to send button states, names and values as OSC returns would be incredibly useful.
