Hi, Richard already suggested some good things. Another way to do it with MIDI would be to use a box from MIDI Solutions, the F8. http://www.midisolutions.com/prodf8.htm This is a 8-channel contact closure / footswitch to MIDI interface that is fully programmable. You can program an input to set Controller...

The SF/SFML "GO" button is mapped to Program Change #125. So you can take a Footswitch-to-MIDI converter and program it to send a prog change #125 event on contact closure. Example for a professional MIDI converter: MIDI Solutions F8 http://www.midisolutions.com/prodf8.htm

Sorry to say that we have just discovered a defect in 1.4.3 software that seems to have caused MIDI and analog inputs to stop working on the ION console. This is limited to the ports on the ION console itself. NET3 show control and I/O gateways will still function normally with both ION and EOS Consoles...

Hi, As Bullen already wrote, you need to have some sort of converter for the timecode. The timecode that your SONY XDCAM player sends is SMPTE timecode ( see wikipedia ) and that is an analog signal, not MIDI timecode. You cannot connect the timecode from your Sony direct to Congo, because Congo cannot...

Hi Pedro, There are a number of ways to use MIDI on Congo. So I'll give a few examples. To get more info about MIDI (and other show control things) a good book to have is John Huntington's book Control Systems for Live Entertainment. It explains MIDI and MIDI Show Control very well. I highly recomend...

If you are going to use Sound Forge, you will need to play around with the MIDI options (found under options>MIDI IN/Out) The link you have looks to be the same hardware i used. I would definitely check out MIDI OX, it sounds interesting. Good luck

Hi, If you have a USB-MIDI interface to your computer a great piece of software to have is Midi-ox. http://www.midiox.com/ It's a nice piece of software that will show what is beeing sent or recieved on the MIDI line. The software is free for personal use. It may take a little testing to understand how...

Hi, Regarding Midi Timecode (and also SMPTE timecode) it is pretty normal to have a few seconds of "pre-roll" before any events need to execute. This is to make sure all the devices have time to sync. This is normal practice with Timecode. I can imagine that if you start generating timecode when the...

I recently used MIDI to control a light show I did for class and I used a USB MIDI controller connected to my laptop. Sound forge generated the timecode and I used a similar process as Richard. I didn't use the learn option, I just pulled timestamps from the sound file.

Hi Florian, I'm not sure I'm managing to explain this properly, it's not a cross fade/lock fade thing. A bit more investigation reveals that a MSC "Go Cue x" command is similar to a "x GOTO" on the desk. You can see the issue I'm having without using midi. Record two...
