[Mod 11.4.0.2/3] X32 channel mute does not work

[Onno Rietveld]

Hello,

just upgraded to Professional Plus to control my X32. Great to have this feature now build into SCS!
The Go Snippet en Group mute works fine, but I cannot get the Channel mute for an individual channel to work. Just fill in the channel number 1 but no mute on the desk. Can you check what could be wrong?

Thanks and regards, Onno

Version 11.4.0.1

Part from http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/projec ... 32-OSC.pdf
Examples: (~ stands for the NULL character, \0; data within brackets are sent as 32 bits big endian values)
Setting channel 01 mute ON (muting the channel):
OSC: /ch/01/mix/on~~~,i~~[0]
OSC: /ch/01/mix/on~~~,s~~OFF
Sysex: F0 00 20 32 32 2F 63 68 2F 30 31 2F 6D 69 78 2F 6F 6E 20 4F 46 46 F7

Unmuting channel 01:
OSC: /ch/01/mix/on~~~,i~~[1]
OSC: /ch/01/mix/on~~~,s~~ON
Sysex: F0 00 20 32 32 2F 63 68 2F 30 31 2F 6D 69 78 2F 6F 6E 20 4F 4E F7

When SCS connects to the X32 it obtains the names you have assigned to all channels. Then for channel mute/unmute commands SCS determines the physical channel number. For example, if your third channel is named 'Meg' and you set up a Control Send cue to mute channel 'Meg' then SCS will send "/ch/03/mix/on ,i 0" (without quotes). I presume you haven't named your channels - that's something I hadn't considered. If SCS can't find the name you specify (eg 1) then it actually sends "/ch/?/mix/on ,i 0", which is obviously ignored by the X32.

If you name your channels (prior to starting SCS) then you will see those channel names in the drop-down list for muting/unmuting a channel. Note that the drop-down list will not be displayed if the entry currently contains a value that is not a known channel name, ie not named on the X32. In this case you just get the text field instead of a drop-down list.

I've now modified SCS so that if the channel name entered is not a known channel name but is numeric then it will use that number. Fix ready - I'll email you details of a pre-release you can try.

That's great - I've only just updated my SCS so haven't tried it with X32 yet, but I use scenes in the X32 'stack' to rename channels as people swap radio mics throughout the show; therefore just using the names list at the point of connection wouldn't work for me.

OK, what I can do is re-obtain the channel names list as part of the 'Go Scene' processing. That will, of course, mean that to test a 'mute/unmute channel' control send command in the editor you will need to ensure the correct scene is loaded, even if you load it manually on the X32. Similarly if you jump to a different part of the cue list, which is likely during rehearsals. But the concept is definitely valid as the X32 supports assigning different channel names per scene.

I've now implemented this and if anyone would like a pre-release of the version that includes this change then please let me know. I haven't yet updated the Help file.

Implemented in 11.4.0.3.
