That's exactly the info I was looking for. perhaps less so since you are doing percussion. So you've still got management issues to worry about. However, be aware that DMXIS is STILL looking for those Midi notes on 15/16 and will happily respond if they appear. Or in your case, you've already used up all the Midi channels. possibly via some external program or maybe because of multiple Midi-OX data mappings. The alternative method I present is in the event you are using high speed changes (which DMXIS hates). Normally DMXIS is controlled using CC 15: the banks are selected randomly via note "0" for the first bank listed, "1" for the second, etc, and the same for presets within a bank using CC 16. To change presets within a bank you use the Program Change (PC) message on any channel. The parameter to the CC will be the bank number. NCN wrote:Try this (which I posted some time ago):īank changes can be sent on any MIDI channel via CC (control change) number 32. Would it be possible to control DMXIS with MIDI CC data? In the sequencer I can insert MIDI CC commands.

MainStage, Abelton, even something like Show Buddy could be used.
MAINSTAGE PC MESSAGES SOFTWARE
You could try going the other way, and use any number of show control / performance software packages to manage all of your gear. Otherwise, you will need to clear one midi channel for lighting control. If there are commands you can issue on one or even multiples of your midi channels that aren't going to trigger other midi actions/events, then they could be used to control DMXIS actions.īut your going to have to sort through what those are. You can do a lot of tricky stuff with something like midi translator (or a hardware midi processor), but you'll still have to have some control method that isn't already in use. The conclusion I'm coming to is: not really. I guess the question I wanted answered was whether MIDI was robust enough to accomplish what I want to do whether a midi channel could both somehow have music data and discretely command the DMXIS changes.
MAINSTAGE PC MESSAGES PATCH
It would be better for MainStage to just process this as a new request and resend the translated Midi PC like it would do for an actual patch change.That's what I intend to find out. right before) it seems that MainStage does not view this as a patch change so just reroutes the same PC message back to the Hardware Synth without translation and I get the actual Hardware synthesizer patch for that midi PC command which I do not want. The issue I'm having is that if for some reason I send the same midi patch change message from the hardware synth, that I sent previously (i.e. I do it this way because most times the Midi PC message is just for MainStage to change patches and not send a Hardware Synth PC change, and in that case MainStage does not send the midi notes back to the hardware synth which is what I want. Although I can control both with the hardware synth keyboard (i.e. Configuring this way is cool since MainStage does not send the midi notes back to the Hardware synth so it's not playing when I only want to use the MainStage patch. I have synthesizer local off so the Hardware Synth has 16 buttons and sends Midi patch change messages to MainStage and MainStage translates these into the appropriate Hardware synth patch and sends the midi PC message back to Hardware Synth to change patches or just changes the MainStage patch accordingly. I'm using both MainStage and Hardware Synth audio into an external mixer to use the best patches from both. I'm using MainStage 3 controlled by a Hardware synth to change patches on both MainStage and the Hardware Synth.
