Control Send Devices - Toggle (shortcut / hotkey)

Post by HeikoJooss » Mon Apr 07, 2025 9:00 pm

Hi there.

Is there a way to toggle the "Control Send Devices" (SCS -> External Equipment), specifically "MIDI Send" enabled/disabled and "Network Send" enabled/disabled in the Session Options via shortcut or hotkey? This would be important for us mainly during rehearsals, as we often send MTC to the GrandMA or control our video server via network commands. It's relatively inconvenient to go into the options each time to turn it off when you want to quickly listen to a sound coupled with MTC without triggering a video/light cue.

Additionally, it would be great if we could see this setting somewhere in the Control Panel (or possibly in the hotkey list). That is, whether MIDI Send/Network Send is on or off.

Regards,

Heiko

Some useful suggestions, Heiko. If you have several consecutive rehearsal runs where "MIDI Send" and "Network Send" are to be disabled than you could consider having a separate Device Map that has these devices set to 'Dummy'. If you do this then enter Device Map names that reflect the state as the device map name is displayed briefly in the VU Meter area.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your reply. That's a good solution that we can work with for the time being.
