In order to get MIDI out you need to have a Show Control Gateway on your network, Also make sure that MSC transmit is enabled in your Show Control settings.
I'm not sure when this post was written if there were the the settings for ACN MIDI Tx ID that there is now in 1.9.12. How does this setting relate to using the Show Control Gateway and MSC?
"ACN MIDI Tx ID" and "ACN MIDI Rx ID" are the way you choose which physical Show Control Gateway you want to transmit the actual MIDI out of, or receive MIDI from.
The setting in Eos needs to match the setting of the Show Control Gateway.
They are purely for routing on the ACN network, and have no bearing on MSC itself.
Thank you. Just out of curiosity, where would this be used? If you have more than one Gateway on the network and they have separate ACN MIDI Tx IDs then the only way to talk to both Gateways would be to have more than one transmitter (console) on the network. Couldn't you just change the actual MSC Channel ID on each and accomplish the same split?
You can have multiple timecodes coming in from different sources, and create different lists to deal with them. For example, in a theme park, you might have the overall 24H timecode to trigger various events, but a different timecode signal from a given attraction's show time. These would be likely to be triggering different cue lists/subs/macros.
Another (similar) example would be an awards show, with overall show time (taking into account crying divas and extended speeches from best supporting dog handlers) as one event list, but individual performances in another.
Sorry to be a pain, but I don't get it. The console can only listen to one MSC ID at a time so how could multiple ACN MSC IDs help with multiple lists?
