Send Text to SurfaceLCD
Posted: 27 Sep 2013 21:52
Hey,
I use Mainstage for my live performance. I want to control the volumes of the different plugins by using lemur. Setting up the faders is pretty easy and not a problem. But I have a lot of different patches with a lot of different sounds. I want to add a SurfaceLCD, which shows me the the tracknames. Mainstage does not support sysex and / or mackie protocol so I need to use a third party plugin called plogue bidule, which is able to do so. I just need to know, how the sysex or text has to be formatted to appear on my SurfaceLCD on my iPad. I would then create a midi file which contains the sysex information and playback on patch change. If you know a solution, that is more simple, I would be happy to hear it. Thanks!
I really appreciate your help.
//edit: It seems, that the surfaceLCD doesn't react on mackie-control-sysex messages. I have a sysexfile, which contains
F0 00 00 66 10 12 00 48 65 6C 6C 6F F7
If I open a mackie-control-app on my iPad, it prints "Hello" into the display, while the surfaceLCD stays dark...
//edit2: Got it: It seems, that the normal network connection, which comes with OSX filters Sysex. I need to use Lemur Daemon, to make it work.
Thanks,
Chris
