[Toby0412]

Hello,

I am trying (with absolutely no success) to get Qlab to fire a stack on a Jands Event 408 via MIDI (or more specifically, MSC)

Has anyone done this before? Is it possible? I am one step away from throwing it in and getting a job in a bank or a post office!!! Can anyone pleeeeeeese help!@!

Cheers

Toby

Brilliant, thanks Dave. I don't think there has ever been anything that has beaten me in the way that this has.

Looking at the 408 manual online, assuming I found the right one, it does not respond to MSC. It says that it responds to program change commands.

Page 98 is where to look. Lucky for you QLab can send note commands.

Thank you,

This is a different manual to the one we have, I'll give this a go and see what happens, I'll let you know.

Hiya,


Frustratingly, still not working!!!

I have a USB to midi cable, which Qlab sees and I can patch to it (see pic).

My first question is... I think I am running the full version of Qlab that allows MIDI, if I am not, would I still be able to patch to the cable etc, or would it just not be accessible?

I am unfamiliar with the note system. Can anyone tell me which of the MIDI types I should be using in Qlab? They all seem to be able to have the note set for them.

I can set the Channel, Fader and Note number in the 408, but when I press the "find signal" button in Qlab - nothing.

I have tried all of the various MIDI types and still nothing.

I have just read the 408 manual again, and there is one thing that I think I may have missed. Does anyone know if MIDI control is only possible on fader 7 of the 408?

Interestingly, when I executed a q in Qlab, the "out" light flashed on the cable. I swapped the "in" and the "out" around on the back of the console thinking I may have got it wrong, and when I hit go on the first q, it executed all of the next seven q's in the list automatically - I had no follow-ons built in.

I think my problem is that the console is just not getting the message?

Any advice would be VERY greatly received and appreciated.

Cheers
