Multiple midi commands (fix in 10.6.2)
Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 1:28 am
Mike,
an odd one I've managed to track down, it has appeared at random interval since MIDI support was introduced.
I use SCS to control mic mutes on the Soundcraft K2 desk. Quite often I need to send out more than 10 midi commands so I make a subcue.
For neatness, I've built a small library of MIDI cues, eg stage ON, Stage OFF, Choir ON, Choir OFF, Pit ON, Pit OFF, Stage & Choir ON, Stage & Choir OFF etc
so a typical Control send Cue may contain 4 or more sub cues, each containing up to 10 commands.
I've found that sometimes a command is ignored but it is not repeatable. But if I put a small delay onto each subcue to make them run sequentially, I have no problems. ie Sub Q 1 no delay, SubCue2 0.1secs delay, Subcue3 0.2secs delay, Subcue4 0.3sec delay etc.
Does that make sense? is there any limit to the number of MIDI control subcues that can be started simultaneously ?
