[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 64626, member: 1285"] Re: X32 for theatrical work. There are many "Show Control" packages out there, I've been playing with [url=http://www.ctrelectronics.co.uk/]CTR Electronics - CSC Theatre Show Control and Sound Playback Software[/url] this one, but haven't got started trying to integrate it with the X32. There are basically two ways to control a console with show control software. The simplest method is to have the software recall scenes, and the advanced method is to have the software run a full console automation. The former method can be done over Midi, while the latter method requires Midi over ethernet to be fast enough. With the scene recall method, you build a library of scenes, and the software recalls the appropriate scene. This allows you to do big shows with a limited amount of scenes because you can reuse scenes over and over. Does of course require a lot of planning. The full automation method involves recording the complete console setting and movements in the software, and running the whole thing like it was remote controlled. A semi- automation method that normally works in Midi, is to have scene recall with some limited automation adjusting the scenes, this can be very versatile. So far I'm still unsure what will actually work on the X32 as is, and what is possible to achieve with some patching in a midi patching software, but I intend to explore it when I get around to setting things up. Our next theatrical performance is in November, so that is my timeframe for now. Unfortunately, we just spent a fortune on new premises that will contain a performance stage and a studio, and I have to do all the work on my own, so time might get a bit tight :uhoh: [/QUOTE]
