Network connction with SCS 11.5.2.4

Post by dwbc » Mon Jan 09, 2017 11:01 am

I have just installed the latest upgrade and want to connect SCS from my laptop to an X32 mixing desk. However, I cannot seem to get SCS to recognise any network connection. The only Control Send Option appearing in Devices is MIDI. I have obviously not set up something correctly to start with. I am sure the LAN connection between the Laptop and the X32 is OK because I am running the X32 Edit software OK using a LAN connection. I am not using a router, just a single cable between the two with the IP address in the X32 set up manually.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks, David

David,

For network access (both cue control and control send) you will need to upgrade to SCS Professional Plus. See Compare Levels.

Thank you for the advice. I have now upgraded to Professional Plus and am happily sending Mute & Unmute commands from SCS to the X32. The drop down menu on the Control Cue page gives me easy selection of the 32 input channels - excellent. However can you advise me if it is possible to send the same commands to the FX Channels (channels 9 - 16 on the third layer)?
Regards,
David

David,

I haven't been able to check this yet as my X32 is off-site, but you should be able to use the OSC Free Format command type. For a detailed list of OSC commands for the X32 I recommend the Unoffical X32/M32 OSC Remote Protocol by Patrick-Gilles Maillot, available from https://sites.google.com/site/patrickmaillot/x32. btw, the link to this document in the SCS Help is incorrect - I'll fix that in the next version of the Help.

To mute an FX return the command would be "/fxrtn/[01…08]/mix/on ,i 0" (without quotes) eg "/fxrtn/03/mix/on ,i 0" to mute FX return 3. To unmute, replace the final 0 by 1, eg "/fxrtn/03/mix/on ,i 1" to unmute FX return 3.

If I've got that wrong, let me know and I'll go and test this with my X32.

Thanks for the info Mike. Earlier, Dave and I struggled to work out the syntax .
