Installing Palette

These are the instructions for installing a binary release of the Palette system. If instead you want to rebuild it from the source code, see these instructions.

The instructions below assume that you have:

One-time installation steps

  • Install git from https://gitforwindows.org

  • Use System Properties->Environment Variables to add these directories to your PATH, and then log out or reboot to have this change reflected:
    C:\Program Files\Git\bin
    C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin
    C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin

  • Install the redistributable support for X64 (the filename is vc_redist_x64.exe) from this page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

  • All VST plugins should be put in %CommonProgramFiles%\VST2 (for VST 2 plugins) and %CommonProgramFiles%\VST3 (for VST 3 plugins).

  • After installing and starting Bidule, use Edit->Preferences->Plugins to set the VST plugin directory to %CommonProgramFiles%\VST2.

  • Install LoopBe30 from https://www.nerds.de/en/order.html

    • After installing, use the LoopBe30 tray item to expand "ports after reboot" to 16
    • Turn off "Enable Shortcut Detection"
    • Reboot (so that the 16 ports are recognized)

  • Start Bidule, and use this menu item - Tools->Osc Server - to enable OSC .

  • Download and install the SenselApp (64 bit) from https://shop.sensel.com/pages/support#downloads

  • Start the SenselApp, make sure the Morph is updated to the latest firmware, and then quit the SenselApp.

  • Download and execute the latest Palette installer from the release directory.

  • If the Palette installer asks you to reboot Windows, please do so.

  • Start Resolume, and

    • In the Preferences->OSC section, enable OSC Input on port 7000
    • In the Preferences->Video section, add this directory to the list of FreeFrame (FFGL) plugin directories: C:\Program Files\Palette\ffgl

  • Quit and restart Resolume.
    • Use Resolume's Composition->Open to open: %CommonProgramFiles%\Palette\data\config\PaletteDefault.avc
      That composition contains four layers, each with a Palette FFGL plugin followed by several dozen other FFGL effect plugins. If there's a big yellow X in the layer, Resolume hasn't been able to find or load the Palette plugin. Verify that the Palette plugin is seen in Effects under Generators.

  • Quit Resolume.

  • You're now ready to start using the Palette, as described here

  • If there are any issues, log files can be found in %CommonProgramFiles%\Palette\data\logs, with engine.log being the most important one. Feel free to email me@timthompson with questions or suggestions for improving this documentation.
