Is the MIDI feature working on the RM series mixers yet?
I just got my new Mac linked up with my RM32 under the new Yosemite updates. Till updates were available I was using an iTwo Audio Box as a work around, also using the MIDI feature for drum triggering with a Roland kit and EZ Drummer 2 as a plug in inside Studio One. Now hoping I can disconnect the iTwo and use the MIDI feature on the RM mixer for drums when needed. But so far I am just not seeing the RM as a MIDI option when adding a new instrument device like I did with the iTwo at start up of Studio One device setup. The mixer itself is working fine with Yosemite in Studio One and UC Control. Noted in the manual that the MIDI feature would become available at a later update. Just wondering if its active yet. |

Not yet. Sorry.

Thanks Matt, I will stay fine tuned.

Hey Matt, any idea if there's a ballpark time frame attached to the MIDI updates functionality? Just curious. My next test will be to see if I can use the iTwo for MIDI triggering and the RM as a recording interface at the same time. I think I can just haven't proven it yet.

No time frame to speak of. Everything I have seen regarding RM features seems to be around dante and avb functionality.

Thank you!

Yahoo it works, just verified I can capture tracks thru the RM plus capture MIDI tracks from a Roland electronic kit triggering EZ Drummer 2 in S1 via the iTwo Audiobox, that means we could do that live too interesting...... I wasn't sure if I would be able to capture from the two separate devices at the same time.... It works
 So far Roland kit only been used for silent tracking/rehearsals at home. Used it at a couple gigs early on but the internal tones and lack of control made it hell for the sound man, but in MIDI land the whole kit expands to separate channels..... Giant hmmmm.... |

It's going to be a little while still before we get the MIDI functioning. Perhaps late in 2015. However, the architecture of the mixer doesn't support using the MIDI to feed through the FireWire to a computer. It's strictly for sending and receiving MIDI to the mixer itself.

Am working in theatres regularly. For now with the "old" 24.4.2 without MIDI and therefore scene selection has to be done on the mixer itself (or through Virtual SL). Am using a show control program (QLAB) to run all audio/video/midi etc. Planning to upgrade later in the year to a mixer including MIDI. Potentially to the RM32.
Will the MIDI functionality on the RM series be able to handle MIDI commands coming in from QLAB Showcontrol? regards CH |

I'm managing with my fw400 connection, but looking forward to cutting over to Dante and trying out the higher sample rates. MIDI may come in handy if we switch over to a TD30 drum kit, but right now we are acoustic.

That's an unfortunate architectural limitation, are we talking hardware or software architecture? Sorry, I'm a hardware/software/systems engineer by day so I ask too many questions ... it would have slick if the "stage box" was the single Audio and MIDI hub for a band. Will that change when the Dante option goes live?

MIDI is a very simple protocol. Forcing users into a CS for external control is pretty obvious. |
