Dear mappers,
It's time to have a performance blast!
The free update MadMapper 5.4 is now available, bringing the new Control Surface module letting you trigger scenes & cues and navigate your current cue bank using your Midi controller, as well as the Stream Deck plugin enabling you to trigger scenes/cues and control your project parameters using one or several Stream Deck devices. (Check out the guides in the MadMapper Help menu).
Your live performances will love it!
We also added the support of Lottie animations for MadLaser and introduced a built-in note editor to write some notes that are save in the projects.
Download the 5.4 installer file directly from the MadMapper website / user account / downloads section.
Enjoy !

FIXES

- Some MIDI device do not receive all MIDI feedback from MadMapper depending on the OS, so MadMapper now limits MIDI out data rate to avoid this issue
- Fixed create video wall (was creating a laser project)
- Audio Player module: don't restore playback position when reloading project
- Fixed VideoWall template landscape 180°
- Fixed media remaining black on 3D surfaces in certain conditions
- Fixed issue when using popup menu / "Center" on a multi-selection of surfaces in input preview
- Fixed possible issue in Quad geometry in some weird situations
- Fixed a few issues in Firmata module (reconnection on project load in rare cases, unplug-replug)
(a MadMapper 5 license is required to use this version)
We hope you'll love it!
