livedings - A graphical frontend for mididings

livedings is a graphical front end that allows you to monitor and trigger scene changes. It runs as a separate application that uses OSC to communicate with mididings.

By default, livedings uses the standard Tk theme. Specify the -T option to switch to a custom theme with higher contrast and larger fonts. See livedings --help for more options.

The buttons at the bottom of the screen can be used to switch to the previous/next scene, previous/next subscene, and to send all-notes-off messages (panic) on all output ports. It’s also possible to use the arrow keys to switch scenes (up/down) and subscenes (left/right).
