3PC midi slaved to iPC master, but flying faders?....

I have a new Whole Hog iPC and a backup with widgets in a computer with 3PC running. I have successfully hooked them up now so that the board will fire midi out commands to the 3PC on the computer (with a $15 midi interface) and the 3PC will follow it with the cues running correctly, so have a slaved backup of the board so I could switch to backup if the board ever froze. But the virtual faders on the 3PC don't follow. Beause my show is pretty complex, if I ever had to flip the A/B switch, I would have to match the faders positions from the board to the computer virtual faders, but do it for every page of faders before I would be back to the same point in the show, and that cuold take a long time with a complex show, particularly if you can't remember them all off the top of your head.

In the Midi Windows there are windows about NOTE MAPPING and playback bars, is there any way to get these to make the faders on the 3PC track to the actual console?

Or any other way to do a true slaved backup?

    Dear Chris,

    Thanks, but trying to do this synching linking with 3.2.0 on both devices gave me endless, varying, and often scary errors. At one point I totally lost the ability to put out DMX from the IPC console for about half an hour, despite warm boots, cold boots, and anything else. In the end I had to do the full system restore again to get the IPC back into an integral whole.

    So I see there are issues with 3.2.0, so now I'll wait till you have 3.2.1, because I know you are working on this.
