[Fix 11.3.4] VERY flaky MSC with ETC Expression 3

Post by cymrustudios » Mon Sep 29, 2014 4:53 am

I'm trying to send GO commands via midi from SCS to an ETC Expression 3 lighting console (poor thing is ancient), but the command doesn't always trigger the console. I've tried multiple device ID#s and every incarnation of the Go command I can think of (just go, go w/ q number, go w/ q number and q list, go w/ q number and q list and q path, etc.), all with the same result: SCS always says the command was sent, but sometimes the console triggers, sometimes the console does nothing.

I've got my laptop (w/ SCS) connected to the console via an M-Audio UNO usb/midi cable. Often, but not always, when the console doesn't trigger, the midi out LED on the UNO doesn't light (though, like I said, sometimes it lights and the console doesn't trigger and sometimes it doesn't light but the console does trigger).

I'm inclined to suspect the UNO, but MSC really isn't my area of expertise. Thoughts?

This sounds like the problem raised here. A fix is ready for SCS 11.3.4 so I'll email you a download link for a pre-release of that version.
