  1. We've received a few requests to make a tutorial video showing how to create custom maps for Wave and Wave2 panels when used with Resolve. So here it is... Note the Mapper and Warp Engine is compatible with both macOS and Windows.
  2. The latest release of the Tangent Hub now has an updated Warp Engine with a record feature. So you no longer need to write scripts by hand. Warp Engine allows you to map any control, on any of your Tangent panels, to any application. This is done through assigning scripts to controls to emulate mouse clicks, drags, scrolls and keypresses. Examples of typical use are: To add and remap controls in applications that support Tangent panels but do not allow customisation of the map. For example, DaVinci Resolve. The fixed map is retained, but the user can jump between that and their own custom map*. Adding controls previously unavailable through the Tangent Mapper in applications that already support Tangent panels through the Mapper. For example, Adobe Premier Pro. To control applications that don’t support Tangent panels. For example, Avid Media Composer. * Applies to Element, Ripple, and the Element-Vs app with Resolve. For Wave and Wave2 with Resolve you can only create your own custom map. Both Windows and Mac operating systems are supported. Head over to our support page to find downloads and more information. We’ve posted a tutorial to YouTube showing how simple it is to add extra controls to Resolve:
  3. Tangent have added a great new feature to our Warp Engine which now allows you to simply record actions performed on the application’s GUI, and associate those recorded actions to a control on the panel. The control can be a button, knob, dial, trackerball or ring. Moving or pressing the control will trigger the playback of the recorded actions. This means that there’s no longer any need to code Warp Scripts by hand (although you can still do this if you prefer). Actions that can be recorded are: Mouse moves. Mouse drags. Note only a single drag can be performed in a recording. Mouse button clicks. Mouse scrolls. This is useful if sliders accept a scroll input. Keyboard keypresses. Here's an example of how easy it is to map the offset colour wheel and its reset in Resolve: To try this out for yourself right now just sign up to join our beta team.
  4. Tangent are excited to announce the beta release of their Warp Engine. This allows the user to map any control, on any of their Tangent panels, to any application. This is done through assigning a script to a control which can be programmed to emulate mouse clicks, drags, and scrolls. The Warp Engine is built into, and programmed through, the Tangent Mapper. Examples of typical use are: Controlling applications that do not support Tangent panels. For example Avid Symphony. Adding and remapping controls in applications that support Tangent panels but do not allow customisation of the map. For example, DaVinci Resolve. The fixed map is retained, but the user can jump in and out of it into their own custom map*. Adding controls previously unavailable through the Tangent Mapper in applications that support Tangent panels and the Mapper. For example, Adobe Premier Pro. * Applies to Element, Ripple, and the Element-Vs app with Resolve. For Wave and Wave2 with Resolve you can only create your own custom map. Both Windows and Mac operating systems are supported. This is a beta release and there will be more improvements to come, but we feel it works well enough to allows users to get the chance to try it out. Right now, the scripts assigned to the controls are typed into a text file, but one of the first features after the beta that we’ll be working towards is to make this simpler. If you're interested in trying the Warp Engine then please join our beta program.. Here’s a short introduction video using the Warp Engine to add controls in Resolve:
  5. Hi Randy I understand that you've been speaking to the Tangent Support team and you now have your Wave2 panel running with Baselight. I'm therefore posting this for others to see who might need the same info. Jussi's advice is correct. Baselight doesn't support Tangent's Managed API and therefore all the controls are defined by the application and can't be changed. However the Wave2 (also Element and Ripple panels) do work with Baselight and the Baselight plugins, as determined by Filmlight. I've attached a snip of the page from the Baselight user manual which contains the configuration instructions.
