| I've never used Ableton Live software. Do you open each song before you play it and then hit play? How do you transition between songs? We wrote software that we intend to sell (some day) for scrolling our song text and it would be very easy for us to add a midi trigger to scroll the lines for you but i'm not sure how you would start the songs. If they play just like midi files we could even start them for you. Does the Ableton Live software accept command line parameters for playback?
We had the same problem for teleprompting the worship team vs the audience so we allow different sized look ahead buffers for our promting. The audience sees the current line in bold bright with a dark outline and a slightly dimmer line with the next line. The worship team sees the current line bright and the next 6 lines slightly dimmer. Because the text scrolls the worship team always has a good look into the future. We also allow for notes for the worship team like {piano only} {driving bass} {start softly} {build} and these comments only show on the worship team teleprompt.
The prompting is all rendered live so it works over picture backgounds as well as video backgrounds (we're still working on live video feeds). So this system would not work if you are really set on the video recording technique.   |
