Loupedeck can be a bit tricky to set-up, so I will be creating a blog post on my website on how to configure it for Rebelle, and I will make my Loupedeck profile available (for free) to get started.

Hi Bill, Yes, for the icons, I just did a screen-snap & then cropped them. They are a bit fuzzy - if I get the time I might enlarge them & sharpen them up a bit ! 🙂

This is cool. I might get this. I'll use the huion key dial remote. I have so many shortcuts that I forget what they are and putting stickers on the keys. Isn't that great. I like that you can customize the buttons on this and actually see the icons so you know what your shortcuts I have a terrible memory. I forget things like 2 seconds later.

Yes, my key dial is in the cupboard - I use the loupedeck all the time. there are cheaper options, but anything with rotary controls and programmable visual keys works really well. Would highly recommend it!

Hi Adrian - yes agree, I would say it is a premium product indeed. I haven't been able to test any others but I think you can get slightly cheaper (and sometimes wireless) options that might have similar rotary control. Glad you liked the video though :-)

Thanks for this video! I am in the process of switching from ArtRage to Rebelle 6. My questions: I have a Loupedeck and a StreamDeck already. The StreamDeck is so much easier to setup (at this time). StreamDeck has brought out the "+" version that has the four rotary knobs. Are you using the right-side LoupeDeck knobs that much for Hue, Sat, Light? The Rotate, Zoom, and Brush Size knobs are a must. But, I don't know if while using Rebelle 6 if the color controls have been useful for you. Thanks, Mate! PS: It makes such a big difference when YT authors reply to the comments on their videos... High Five!

Hi Robert. Appreciated. I think you are right, brush size and zoom are used a lot, rotate occasionally and HSV less so. So the stream deck might well be the better option.

Price per rotary knob, plus buttons; that is what I thought. I will continue using my LoupeDeck for MSFS 2020 and will pick up the less expensive StreamDeck for Rebelle. I will be back later on with more questions. My long term goal will be to paint in Rebelle 6, print out the result on canvas (Canon P1000), varnish the print job a day later, paint some using oils on top; for selected areas to give it more realism, wait to dry (Griffin Alkyds = 2 days), varnish again, then for the final step: paint on Golden Gloss Heavy Gel to give the painting brush strokes on top. The result is just stunning! Thanks again for your quick reply!

@@RobertHopkinsArt Yes, augmented prints are an intersting area. Have similar thoughts myself. Acrylic over any form of oil is generally not recommended though - that may have longer-term archival issues. Would it not be better to do acrylic texture first & then oil on top? You can get final varnishes that can cover both

Sorry if I didn’t make myself clear. That was a heck of a run on sentence! Print, varnish, oil, varnish, heavy gel. As long as I wait long enough for everything to cure I’ll be good. Even Griffin oils should wait a month before varnishing… The heavy gel does look great and is worth it. Thanks again BP!

I still have not ruled out the Loupedeck! LOL! Because the StreamDeck cable comes out from the back you cannot lay it flat, which is a negative. With us spinning the knobs quite a bit, having it at the wrong angle to spin could cause long-term hand damage. I see how you lay it flat on your desk to the left side. FYI: I did have the thought that changing your middle knob (Zoom) to (Hue) would maybe be used more? The advantage of having Hue there is while painting you can vary the color very quickly while painting. Having all of the colors "real-time" would allow a much more varied painting, more like real life. And at the same value! I did notice under settings that you can change the amount of hue "changed" while spinning the knob. The default is "5".

Hi, yes I think I had some issues setting this up initially. I re-mapped some controls in Rebelle. For example in Rebelle -> Edit -> Keyboard Preferences -> View, I have set Rotate Counterclockwise to ctrl + Alt + Left (arrow key) clockwise is Ctrl+Alt+Right. In loupedeck The rotate control is then set to Keyboard shortcut. See www.basement-picasso.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/loupedeck-rotary-settings.jpg and www.basement-picasso.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/rebelle-keyboard-settings.jpg. Anything that isn't working - try remapping in Rebelle first, then use that in Loupedeck. The full set of shortcuts I used to create the loupedeck profile is instep 3 of www.basement-picasso.com/setting-up-loupedeck-for-rebelle-5/ Hope that helps :-)

Hi, Thanks for your free profile it helped me get my head around it. However, rebelle allows key taps along side key holds for temporary tool changes. E.g. holding 5 temporarily turns paint to erase. I cannot get this to work as intended. Loupedeck just does key taps and refuses to do hold downs meaning you have to change to eraser then change back to brush. Have you found the same issue? It does it on the square icons and round buttons. I can't find a solution.

You are welcome. I think I know what you mean. the loupedeck isn’t quite a keyboard in that sense, it is triggering actions. I will investigate further but you may be right that it can only be mapped to a temporary swap or permanent swap, and not do both from a single button. FYI, I map erase (while held) to my stylus button. I changed the settings for “switch to” erase because it was inconsistent and would not always swap back. I use erase while doing pencil drawings, but re-map it to move while painting.

For cheap, you can use MIDI controllers (like launchpad) or for super cheap even an extra keyboard (like numpad) instead of Looperdeck, if you use MIDI Keyboard Macros or Multi-keyboard macros software.

I think the best features are what you can do with the wheels, but those does not exist in launchpad ? I looked at a DYI with Arduino + hairless + loopBe1 + midijey to key and the whole thing would cost for 35€. The issue i have with that is it is keyboard shortcuts meaning you can't change color or hue while drawing, you have to make a pause, and looking at the video, it's seems to be the same for loupedeck ?

@@Mendallas Some midi devices have endless controllers, but my emphasis was "on the chap". Loupedeck looks as a great device and it is not horribly expensive either. Still, launchpad mini MK3 can be bought pretty cheap used ($50 mine) and you have 64 buttons to setup your actions and differentiate them by color. For things like brushes you would need 2 pads for + and -. Not the same of course as loupedeck. I agree on the arduino too, you can get the ones that can be used as USB HID like Pro Micro, a few encoders and you can have anything you want. I actually build one myself. But you have to use the encoders as keystrokes anyway (and same for looperdeck) so turning left would send one keystroke, turning right another and at the end pushing two buttons for + and - is not that much different. As I said I originally made poor-man's lopperdeck from arduino pro micro, but now just use launchpad mini MK3 as I found for my work having 64 buttons is more preferable than having a few encoders.

@@Mendallas Yes, the rotary controls are a big benefit indeed. From the testing that I have done, Loupedeck rotary controls allow you to change size, colour, hue, etc during a continuous stroke, without interruption or lifting - so you can get a multicolored single line, etc.
