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
