Can Multiplay Be Trigger By MIDI?

[Eboy87]

Just as the title says. Here's the background: we run Multiplay for cue playback into an LS9. Is it possible to trigger a cue in Multiplay via a MIDI message from the console?

If the software responds to MIDI messages, yes. You may need MIDI translation software to change the LS9s messages into ones that the software can use.

I sometimes use multiplay, but I've never tried using it with MIDI. E-mail the creator (e-mail can be found in the "about" under the help menu, don't like putting e-mail addresses all over the 'net for bots to pick up) I know he is a member here, but can't remember his username.
He also has software like "midi buttons".

MIDI-OX is a very useful midi tool as well, it is a free download.

And know multiplay can send midi, I do not off hand know if it can receive. But something maybe to ask about for a future release from the creator ?

I asked. No, I can't trigger a cue by MIDI, but he says he'll look into it for a future release.

Well, I posted this in the QLab version of this thread...
I'm assuming this is because you want a "GO" button on the console, yes?

What I've done is run a usb numeral pad (this one to be exact), and stuck it next to the screen on my yamaha M7CL... bam! "GO" button right on the console!
