Midi & Road Hog

Dear Hog World...

Currently setup in a theatre club we want to get the show control machine to activate the show cue sequence.

Show control is Ableton, for testing purposes I have downloaded a keyboard program that can output Midi at the stroke of a virtual keyboard.

The device to used on the road hog is the M-Audio Midisport Uno.

We have searched through the forums for instructions and tried many setup sequences.

We can see the Midi lights flashing on the M-Audio device, however we cannot see if the console is receiving or being activated.

Setup notes:
- Midi Note Mapping is Active
- Midi Note mapping is setup similar to these settings (housetohalf.net/Housetohalf/iPhone.html)
- Timecode has been selected to receive midi
- Cue list Options - I/O settings shows only timecode source as 1:Console

Our questions:
- Is there something specific that tells the console to start timecode or trigger a cue list
- is there an icon somewhere that shows that the console is receiving the midi signal

If you can help, this would be ideal.

Regards,

Ryan

  • Hey guys,

    Really appreciate all your help, haven't quite got there yet.

    "MLorenz" - in the first picture below you will see the options that we get when we hit 'setup'. We don't get a Midi tab that will show us what the console is receiving.

    "c_muenchow" - I have listed some images below in chronological order of the setup functions and the midi note mapping.
    Today we saw that the midi keyboard actually triggered something on the console but to our confusion we don't know how it go to this. For us the keyboard was key 2&3 which activated playback fader 8, on and off. Nothing else happened - nothing that we could see.

    Please can you review the images and let us know your thoughts.

    Alternately we are thinking that it might also be beneficial just to trigger the internal timecode and assign a timecode number per show cuelist.
    Let us know what you think so we don't continue to mess around too much futher.

    Thank you for all your assistance so far, hopefully we get there ;)
