[QUOTE="Jason Kelly, post: 59522, member: 278"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A Dear James, Unfortunately sending MIDI to the Lynx PCI card is currently not possible. There are some complex reasons for this so I will try and keep my explanation brief. Although the audio aspects of AES50 are open standard and can be used freely by any manufacturer, the way control data works is not. There is a band width available for control data within the AES50 specification but it is up to the manufacturer how they wish to use that bandwidth. At Midas we use a propriarty format for the control data that allows us very fast and flexible control of our consoles and its peripherals. But our hardware is specifically designed to work efficiently with this type of control data. As you may already know when you connect some Klark Teknik or third party AES50 devices to the console network we use a mode for that connection called a 'Generic AES50' device. The difference between this type of link and the one used for other Midas based hardware is that only audio is sent to that network port, so no control data is part of that connection. This means there is no way to send MIDI, or any other control data on that link. For us to be able to send control data to the Lynx card we would need to develop a seperte device type in software. It would also be highly likely that the hardware within the Lynx PCI card would need to change to access the control data being sent from the console. I'm not familiar enough with the Lynx hardware design to give a more detailed answer on this part of the equation. But I am sure its not a simple task. I hope this has given you some insight into the situation. But please contact me at my Midas email address if I can be of any further assistance. [/QUOTE]
