So, the cheapest way would to just have a GO command sent from Sonar to the Hog and then the Hog send a stop command back when needed.
#ARKAOS GRANDVJ TIMECODE SOFTWARE#
However if money is not an option and you wanted some room to grow then Medialon Manager software will control anything and everything easily giving you control of everthing by touchscreen (with their free software for the touchscreen) if you you so wanted and will also control things like your projectors etc from one control postion. If you were up for replacing the Sonar, I would stronly recomened the SoundMan-Server from Richmond Sound Design this will give you a show controller capable of sending out all your MIDI commands as well as a hugly powerful playback software which is ideal for your surrond sound needs as it has 'unlimited' number of outputs (the pricing is scalable). a cheap but not very clean way of doing things. The cheapest would be to simply hook the audio playback and hog desk together via MIDI so either the lighting console or audio can start cues, then the lighting console can send MIDI commands or DMX signals (I belive) to the ArKaos. There are many ways of doing this, not sure if there is a best way. I have limited experience of MIDI Timecode, but from experience it can be a bit stuttery and take a while to sync up.
Ok I've just been doing a bit more reading around, and I *think* what I need is a piece of software that will transmit MIDI Timecode to the sequencer device, and which has an internal clock that can be stopped / started at certain timecode points on GO (which should stop and start the sequencer at these cue points).Ĭue 1 - Start at timecode 0:0:0:0.00 / End at timecode 0:0:10:0.00Ĭue 2 - Start at timecode 0:0:10:0.01 / End at timecode 0:0:30:0.00 I'm not sure I've explained myself very well, but hopefully people will understand what I am trying to do.Ī concurrent post has been automatically merged from this point on. Is there a software system out there which can control Sonar (using MTC or MSC) so that when I press GO, it will play to a certain point, then receive a "stop" signal, a "cue to this point" signal, so that when GO is pressed again, it plays from that point (up to a certain point, then stops etc etc etc.)? Unfortunately, Sonar does not have a "stop at this point, and go to timecode XX:XX:XXX and wait for the go" function. The tracks and cues are split up into many segments, all triggered by the MD. It is not a simple "press play and leave it" show. The only problem is the cueing of the Sonar tracks.
#ARKAOS GRANDVJ TIMECODE PC#
The original plan (and still the kinda plan I want to implement) has the Sonar PC mixing the audio and also sending MIDI Show Control and MIDI note signals to control the Hog3PC and GrandVJ systems. Arkaos GrandVJ for the video projection.ĮVERYTHING needs to be triggered from MIDI. Cakewalk Sonar for the backing track playback. I am working on a workshop production of a new musical, and everything needs to be sync'd up - backing tracks (with automation), video projection, and lighting cues.
Secondly, I am aware of various show control applications out there (from the immensly cheap to the immensly expensive), but I'm not sure if any of them will do what I want them to.
