Although there are many ways to control MXWendler with a lot of I/O devices, e.g. mouse buttons, keyboard, DMX and MIDI devices, and automation commands in MXWendler using events in the playlist, some desired behaviours are too complex to be offered through a GUI element. JavaScript allows instead to script any animation and behaviour sequence. Additionally, JavaScript allows you to emit values to I/O devices like DMX, OSC or MIDI and set various internal variables in media and in the software.
ADD INTERFACE INFORMATIONS (HOW TO PROGRAM SCRIPT IN THE MXW GUI) To facilitate debugging, a script-wide function "print_console" is available.
