I just wanted to verify that EOS cannot receive MIDI over the network by itself. Is this correct?
I'm working on putting something together and was wondering if anyone has had any experience in doing this specifically (I have found several articles outlining how to do something similar, but most of them seem to over-complicated). In the simplest form, I'd like to be able to have bi-directional communication between ETC Element and ProPresenter running on a Mac. (i.e. have the Element fire a cue when a certain slide is clicked in ProPesenter, OR have ProPresenter switch slides when a cue is fired)
Now, I know how to do the setup on both ends using MSC, as well as ProPresenter's MIDI module. What I'm not sure of is the best route to take in order to get from point A to B. So I would love to hear from someone who has done this.
Right now, my option is to just run USB to MIDI adapter on the Mac and go with MIDI directly into the console. However, I would like the ability to send MIDI commands over the network using Ableton (from the stage) to send commands to ProPresenter and Element simultaneously.
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Side question: Can I SEND commands to the Element via ArtNet? I am uncertain about how this works.
