Create stage dashboard
create_stage_dashboardBuild a live-performance web dashboard with cue buttons, master faders, panic toggle, and audio readout. Access via any device on a trusted network—no app required.
Instructions
Serve one unified live-performance cockpit from a Web Server DAT — a single responsive web page (phone + laptop) that combines a grid of cue-launch buttons (recall named cues from manage_cue on the target COMP), master faders bound to chosen parameters, a big PANIC button (toggles the target COMP's Blackout/Freeze safety pars, the create_panic mechanism), and a live readout strip (a beat indicator plus a VU bar reading an audio-features Null CHOP). Open the URL — no app to install — and the page POSTs every control change back to the server, which applies it. SECURITY: like the bridge and create_phone_remote, this listens on all interfaces and accepts writes with NO auth, so use it only on a trusted network. Store cues with manage_cue, expose params with create_control_panel, and run create_panic first so the Blackout/Freeze toggles exist.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| target | No | Control COMP the dashboard is built inside. It holds the cues (manage_cue) and the Blackout/Freeze toggles (create_panic); cue buttons fire that COMP's cues and the panic button toggles its safety pars. | /project1 |
| port | No | TCP port for the dashboard web server (keep it distinct from the bridge's 9980 and phone_remote's 9981). | |
| cues | No | Cue names (stored with manage_cue) to expose as launch buttons, in order. Each becomes a button that instantly recalls its cue on the target COMP. Empty omits the cue grid. | |
| faders | No | Master faders, each a { label, par_path } that becomes a slider writing the parameter live. Empty omits the fader bank. | |
| audio_features | No | Optional audio-features Null CHOP path for the readout strip's VU bar (first channel). When omitted the readout still renders (beat from the timeline, VU flat). | |
| name | No | Name of the Web Server DAT (and its callbacks DAT) built inside the target COMP. | stage_dashboard |
| layout | No | Dashboard layout. 'v1' is the original (cues + faders + readout + panic). 'v2' adds stereo VU, BPM, cue timeline strip, FPS/cook overlay, and a sticky confirm-PANIC bar. Default 'v1' for backward compat. | v1 |
| tempo_channel | No | v2 only. Absolute path to a CHOP whose first channel is current BPM (e.g. a detect_tempo Null CHOP). Omitted = BPM widget hidden. | |
| cue_times | No | v2 only. Cue start times (seconds from show start) from compose_cue_list, for the timeline strip's playhead. Empty = strip omitted, cue grid still shown. |
