Show Cue System

I use Show Cue (currently using V 11.2.3) all the time triggering audio cues from my ION (2.0.1 BETA 37) via MIDI show control to a Behringer BCF2000 to a PC via USB.

My set up is as follows:

In ION Show control settings

MSC transmit = enabled

MSC transmit channel = 1

ACN MIDI transmit ID = 1

In Show Cue/Editor/Production/Properties/Devices/Cue Control Devices

C1 Device Type = MIDI In

Physical Device = BDF2000

Active = Checked

Setting in Device:

MIDI in Port = BCF2000

Control Method = MIDI Show Control (MSC)

Device ID = 1 01H

MSC Command Format = 01H Lighting (General)

Go Button Macro # = 1 01H

This set-up works for me every time.

Hi John,

I plan on using Midi thru Show cue systems and our Ion Xe . The sound designer is curious as to which is the appropriate hardware cabling for the job. Can you advise . I would imagine its a USB to midi connection but told it has to be windows 7 driver ready. Can anyone recommend such cable, brand etc?

Hey Krispyduck, as far as I know, basically any USB to Midi device will work. I've seen versions that are a long cable with the electronics housed in the USB plug, and others come in a metal box. I prefer to use the latter. This is the one I use primarily: www.thomann.de/.../miditech_midiface_2x2.htm It has two ins and outs, is sturdy and we have run 100+ shows with it without any problem. Just make sure to enable USB to Midi in the EOS shell... ;)

Thank you for the speedy reply Thorben, and link Ill be sure to forward this on. Unit is at a great price also. Ill be sure to make the appropriate changes to the settings and try follow Johns trigger settings & commands! Cheers

Hey, 

We have set up scs to trigger the Lx , in tech it had a few issues in triggering multiple cues withing a second of each other , so I just made follow cues. But now it seems not to listen to the signal Everytime, and inconsistent. It fired all cues  last night but not this morning. Does anyone know what the issue might be?

Any help appreciated. 

This all could be be possibly an scs problem but after opening  the diagnostics on the Ion while firing the cues on scs I can see that its registering on the desk as recieved but not firing. Possibly the string that's sent is wrong but scs produces and adjusts when you tell it what the cue number is. If I can forward any images to help along please just ask. 

Set up is SCS - focusrite - midi controller - Ion xe
