Soundcraft SI Impact mixer

[newlifedrama]

Has anyone used SCS with a Soundcraft Impact mixer. I will be using one of these (a rental, so I have no choice) in my next show. It has a USB sound interface, but no physical MIDI ports that I can see. The manual is not of much help. I either want to either recall scenes on the mixer from SCS , or send SCS a "GO" command from the mixer, either will suffice. Does anyone have any experience with this mixer? I believe it has a HiQnet interface, but I know almost nothing about that. I have previously used SCS with a Behringer X-32 (so I am spoiled!).

Hi newlifedrama,
sadly, Soundcraft Impact does not have MIDI. USB is audio only, and HiQnet is only for HARMAN group products control (but not CUE control ).

If you need MIDI on the Si series, go with Expression or Performer, both have MIDI, and work well with CUE recall from SCS (or triggering SCS from the mixer)
I'm using Performer (Impact is downgraded Performer), and it runs smoothly (and you can trigger some DMX lighting cues too )

There is a setup procedure for SCS with Si Ex & Perf. here http://www.showcuesystems.com/forum/vie ... =12&t=2304

It looks you will be using both hands, good luck!
