switching wave between davinci and color
It seems that Davinci is tying up the wave, and Color can’t access it anymore. Anyone know a way to be able to switch between apps, without having to launch davinci, uncheck wave support, and close?

If none of that works. Go into the Resolve software preferences and change the panel type to something other than Tangent Wave Devices. So I would check none.
This might stop the Resolve software from bogarting the wave panels. Of course you’d have to set those settings back to use them within Resolve again.

This last method is the one that seems to work best. It seems that Resolve’s Wave driver is running regardless of the application – even with Resolve quit the interface buttons all still work.
When you launch color on top of that, things can get goofy. It’s of course annoying to have to launch Resolve, set the setting, and quit. Good thing Resolve starts up so quickly!

Yeah, I think that is because we didn’t use the native Tangent software interface to integrate the Wave panel. I am relatively certain we are using our own Deamon.
Basically if Resolve is setup to use the Wave Panel then it starts in that mode when you start the computer. If you change the setting to “none” then it doesn’t start this and the Wave can be utilized by other software.
As to technically why we do it this way, I am not 100% sure but I think that it might have some performance benefit over using a typical HID interface. But again…not 100% sure of that.

Actually that’s an interesting insight – but doesn’t it mean since you guys bypassed Tangent’s software, the chances of us getting a proper mappable client from them (like they have for Color) are slim?

I really second that request for a mapable client too.
And I wonder why it is quite sluggish in Resolve compared to Scratch or Color.A slice of color…

No…I don’t think that getting a mappable client would be slim. But that would have to be done by Tangent (I believe). And as for it being sluggish in comparison to the Color/Wave combo, I wouldn’t expect it to be.
Though to be honest I haven’t tried them side by side. I will try to check into that a bit.

Just go into Activity Monitor and quit the TangentPanelDaemon process.
Color will then see the panel.
You will have to re-boot to get the Panel to work in DaVinci again, but usually I don’t have to switch between the two more than once a day so it’s not a big deal.
