midi control congo jnr

Each Master Fader has an associated Midi Controller that directly controls the level of the Master, so you could use those.

I'm afraid I can't help on the hardware side for MIDI, but there is probably something that can do "Controller X at Full" when pressed and "Controller X at 0" when released.

However, there is another possible approach, using "Event List" Triggers.

There are 4 contact closure inputs on the back of the Congo Jr that you can use (2-row D type connector next to the DMX and MIDI ports) - so that's four of your areas for free.

You can expand these with Net3 I/O Gateways using the analogue inputs as contact-closures.

Event List triggers run "Action Macros", which can do things like setting the level of a Master (with an optional fade time), Goto any cue on the main playback or an active Master (optionally overriding the fade time) - or any combination thereof.

Hi,

Richard already suggested some good things.

Another way to do it with MIDI would be to use a box from MIDI Solutions, the F8. http://www.midisolutions.com/prodf8.htm

This is a 8-channel contact closure / footswitch to MIDI interface that is fully programmable. You can program an input to set Controller X at a level when the key/switch is pressed. And have it go back to 0 when the key/switch is released. You can download the F8 programming software from MIDI Solutions web page. (Note that the MIDI solutions gear is powered via the MIDI input contact, so maybe also get their MIDI Power adapter).

thanks for your help guys.
