Hi All,

I know this could be accomplished by creating group cues and OSC cues, etc. but I'm trying to avoid changing the cue list in any way.

I'd like to send an OSC message with every cue triggered. I'm working on an elementary school play, where the director will be changing many of the cue parameters between now and the show on her laptop. The rest of the cues I'll write on the theater's iMac, to corrispond with the cues on the director's MacBook Air. Is that doable?

Thanks,
Alexander

I'm not clear what OSC you want to send with every cue. Is it the sameOSC  message every time,  or is it a start cue that corresponds to the cue you are triggering( to trigger a cue with the same number on the director's computer), or something else?

Sorry, I'll try again!

When the director fires a cue, I want it to trigger the same number cue on my main show machine.

Thanks,
Alexander

OK, that's easy

Hijack the space bar by deselecting it in settings/keymap


Create a new cuelist called HijackGo (or anything else you like)
Put a fire all group into this list with 2 Network cues
The first network cue sends this to your remote machine patch

/cue/#/cue/selected/number#/start

The second sends this to your local machine patch

/go





Example workspace attached. In this workspace, settings/network has patch 2 set up for remoteMachine with localhost port 8001 so I could test on a single machine. You will want to set it with the IP address of the remote computer on port 53000.

Hey Mic, how accurate is this sample wise if you were to use it in a redundant setup rather than having midi control splitting out to two machines?

This wouldn’t be a redundant set up as it relies on both machines being functional to work

Only up until the point that something goes wrong with the first computer, at which point one could switch to operating directly on the backup.

My guess is that the syncing probably wouldn’t be sample accurate, but should be good enough to save a show.

What if the failure mode is "send out 1000 go messages to the other computer?" :-)
