Chamsys - MagicPro


Kadanz

Recommended Posts

We prepared a WO show and wan't to send a cue to a chamsys lightning desk.

Reason - start lightshow and movie/sound together. Any suggestions?

 

We have a interface from "kiss box" DMX (in/out) and Midi (in).

Is there a solution to send Midi to the chamsys lightning desk

 

Thx in advance

 

Geert.

MOTU Fastlane USB will send MIDI out and take MIDI in.

The Chamsys should have a MIDI in port unless you are running on a computer, then you would need 2, or use your KISS box on the Chamsys as an in.

If you use MIDI Show Control, just name the Watchout cue the Cue# on the Chamsys you want to take. Once the timeline rolls past that cue it will fire the Chamsys.

MIDI and WATCHOUT - input, output

Not exactly.

 

WATCHOUT has no direct MIDI output capability of any kind.

WATCHOUT is MIDI input only. MIDI Show Control input, MIDI Note input, or MIDI controller input.

MSC is for lighting boards, etc to SEND MSC to WATCHOUT to trigger WATCHOUT cues.

It does not work the other way around - WATCHOUT does not have any direct support

for MSC output.

 

That said, I suspect you can hand code string cues to an output device (the Kiss MIDI box)

to send any MIDI command. Still, MSC output or any form of MIDI output is not directly provided by WATCHOUT.
