haha i was trying way to complicated to achieve,
i am using midi through now (as if “midi through” was not self explaing enough) on a&h midi control.
through gigperformer
(see here very convincing live software https://gigperformer.com/ )
with a keyboard (arturia mk2) and it works simply by pressing/releasing the g2 note to trigger softknob 8.
wich in my case is the knob to conrol bpm of the sq.
it is indeed the g2 note and not the g3 as described in your “SQ-MIDI-Protocol-Issue3.pdf”
but that is normal in midi world,note number interpretation seems strange, i experienced that with several devices/plugins e.t.c.
to finish up: i run the midi through the dante network cable, it works (one cable less from the desk to stage, as the computer is on stage in my case)
thanks for you effort
best regards
