the 1, 2, 3 and 4 Aux Sends were reset (faders lowered) on all my saved scenes.

How can I find the 4 mixes I had made for the musicians monitors on each of these scenes?

Thanks Keith, indeed the automation was directed to the “All” port, it’s ok now.

To port “CC Translator Inputs”
CC#68 > CC#79 = Ip1 AuxSend 1> AuxSend 12
CC#80 > CC#91 = Ip2 AuxSend 1> AuxSend 12
CC#92 > CC#103 = Ip3 AuxSend 1> AuxSend 12
CC#104 > CC#115 = Ip4 AuxSend 1> AuxSend 12
CC#116 > CC#127 = Ip5 AuxSend 1> AuxSend 12

Which CC# can I use to control Aux Sends of the other IPs?

Today with the help of A&H support,
thanks to the CC Translator, I can from Logic:

– Change scenes on the SQ5
– Mute channels
– Unmute
– Automate the fader of the channels controlled by MIDI control.

A problem arises:

MIDI Controls from 00 to 47 control the faders of Ip 01 to Ip48.
Only MIDI Control 00 (Bank MSB) moves the fader of Ip1,
but also that of the Main L/R !!
How to dissociate them?

thank you

Thank you Keith 🙂

To use plug-ins from my DAW plug-ins on channels of my SQ (bit crusher, guitar, amplifier, dynamic filter, manipulator, auto tune), would the round trip be faster with a Thunderbolt3 card than with ‘Dante + RME digiface’ ($2300) ?

[tutu13]

Thanks Keith, I want to use TCP/IP to control the SQ as well as to receive/send audio to the SQ via the Dante card (+ RME digiface), because the USB port of the SQ must be used to record the lives (multitrack) on a second computer.

And the CC>NRPN conversion seems useful to me if I want to be able to control faders with LOGIC automation curves.

[tutu13]

Merci Keith,

To hear you talk, everything seems simple, but I don’t know enough about MIDI to know for example how to write a “BN CH VA” message in Logic (what does the letter “B” mean?).

I created 4 virtual ports with the Mackie protocol, but is “DAW Control MIDI” really useful in the case where I want to control the SQ from Logic and not the other way around?

With A&H MIDI Control, I managed to communicate from Logic to the SQ via TCP/IP, and to automate the SQ faders by assigning a MIDI Control per channel (0/Bank MSB=channel 1, 1/Modulation=channel 2, etc…) and by creating automation curves.

This works, however I wonder if I am using the right method, because if I disable automation in Logic the SQ faders continue to move.

With the 127 MIDI Controls I managed to control the volume of all inputs, groups, FX returns, aux sends from ip1 to ip5. But beyond these 127 parameters how to access the rest of the faders?

Another problem arises, the A&H MIDI Control application manual states: “Mute on uses a Note On message with a velocity of 01, Mute off uses a Note Off message with a velocity of 00.”
By creating a MIDI region with notes of velocity 01, I can mute the channels, but Logic does not offer a velocity 00 so I can not reactivate them! So how to create Note Offs?

I also did not find a way to change scenes when opening a Logic project, it is easy to do if the MacBook is connected to the SQ via USB, but not via TCP/IP.

As you can see I’m digging around and trying to figure it out on my own, but I’m not sure I’m going in the right direction.
I don’t dare add up the wasted hours, so before going any further, could you at least guarantee me that it’s possible from a DAW, at the same time:

– to control all the faders of the SQ?
– to control all the Mute?
– to change scenes when opening a Logic project?

… or do I have to call on third-party app other than A&H MIDI Control (Bome Translator, for example)?

[tutu13]

I’ve been messing around with MIDI Control app for days with no results… there’s something I don’t get.

Does MIDI Control app allow Logic to control one SQ’s fader with a single MIDI parameter?

[tutu13]

Hi Alex, this table you made for Qu-MIDI-generator is the same for the SQ?

[tutu13]

ok Thanks Brian !

[tutu13]

Yes Keith, it works but there are many manipulations.
My plan to be able to edit a track volume by simply clicking points on my automation curve is compromised.
The problem is that an SQ fader must be controlled via MIDI with 3 different parameters !!

[tutu13]

Thank you for your detailed response.
I’m disillusioned, so it’s the programs & drivers that make the bridge between these cards and the computer that create latency higher than that of USB, does the Ethernet > Thunderbolt conversion of the Mac also add it?

[tutu13]

Well, I just did some latency tests with a MacBook connected to USB B:

Logic plays a Kick sent to an SQ channel routed to an AUX,
this AUX returns into Logic always via USB B
then is recorded on a second track.

On the recorded track I notice a delay of 604 samples (in 48kHz) which I already find enormous compared to other USB sound cards.

Then I do the same thing again, this time using the M-Waves as an I/O device, still at 48kHz.
Recording delay: 688 samples, that’s more than via USB.2 !

I find that weird. On paper the M-Waves card is supposed to transfer signals faster than USB.2, right?

Can I hope to have a better flow rate with the Dante?

[tutu13]

So initially, I preferred to set the console at 48kHz rather than 96kHz because I thought that this would generate less delay in the signals coming from the AR1224 due to the 96>48 conversion, but I was probably paranoid!
Does this add extra milliseconds or not at all?

Yes Scott, the problem is that you have to redo the settings each time on the M-Waves, but if you record at 96kHz (default setting) you just have to click on the Qrec app.
Multitrack recording at 96kHz doesn’t take up too much CPU, so I figure “why not?”

But then a question comes to me: if later I embark on the adventure of Soundgrid plug-ins on server, will running at 96kHz rather than 48kHz change the latency?

wich driver software?
