Hog 3PC show control

I'm coming for some help on a show I'm working on. Every year I do a show that runs to a 10-15 minute audio track. This show repeats through the night looping back to the beginning of the track. In the past I've programmed this show with Martin LJ and used the on board audio control commands and time code to cue everything. However LJ is a major pain in the ass to program on with this much gear. In pops Hog 3pc. I've got the 1U widget but I'm having a hell of a time finding information on how I can make the show run, even semi-automatically. I've spent most of the day reading (including the manual) and messing with midi with no results, not that I see midi really helping me at this point.

What are some thoughts on how I can get this show to run on Hog so I don't have to revert to slaving over LJ?

    Show control is an entire field unto itself.

    The first big question is what are you using to play the audio, and do you want to Hog to control the audio system, or be controlled by the audio system? Second: What protocols does your audio system support for input or output? MIDI Notes? MIDI Show Control? Timecode (MIDI or LTC)?

    Perhaps the most common way to implement such a system is to have the audio system supply timecode to the console. You can then use "learn timing" to have the console record when you play cues. If your audio system doesn't support timecode natively, you can record timecode on to one track of the audio.

    If you're using a fancier audio system, it can supply MSC to the Hog, or vice-versa.

    If none of that works, then you can explore the use of MIDI notes, either directly between the Hog and the Audio System, or via a sequencer.
