Re: CC# or sysex string needed to Play/Stop the CS?

2005-05-29 by steve_the_composer

I just tested MidiOx and the P2500. MidiOx has both a Midi Sync 
Transport window and a Midi Time Code window.  Midi Sync uses the 
stream of F8 bytes. MTC uses a stream of F1 bytes based on frame 
settings.

The P2500 responds to the MidiOx Sync Transport controls.  I am not 
sure if you can slave MidiOx to the ReMOTE 25 and slave your CS to 
MidiOx.

My reading of the MidiOX help leads me to believe it is worth 
testing if you haven't found another solution yet. There is an 
example of how to slave Cakewalk to the MidiOx Sync Transport.

Then it says:

The [x] Sync and Send MTC concurrently checkbox allows the 
synchronization of MIDI clock and MTC. When it is checked, the MTC 
view will be loaded (with its transport disabled), and both items 
will be controlled by the MIDI sync transport. When play is started, 
both MTC and MIDI Sync will be generated, and both views will stop 
upon pressing Stop.

The question is, can MidiOx be slaved to the ReMOTE? I couldn't find 
how to do that with MidiOx, but perhaps MidiYoke would help. I don't 
have MidiYoke installed, so I couldn't test it out.

Let me know either way if you test it.

Hope this helps.
