NRPM MIDI messages

Hi all - can ST3 send NRPN MIDI messages natively? My mixing console uses NRPN messages to control mutes, and I think this is the easiest way I can toggle effects from ST3 in the mixer.

If not, is this planned for the future?

If not, and if not, how does ST3 behave if you try to send multiple CC messages at the same millisecond in the song? (My understanding is that NRPN messages are constructed of a string of CC messages.)

For example, if I just request in the lyrics file to send these three CC messages at the same millisecond mark, will ST3 just string them together and construct the NRPN message by definition?
[midi@00:05.001: CC31.127@1]
[midi@00:05.001: CC32.127@1]
[midi@00:05.001: CC33.127@1]

The mixer in question is an A&H CQ series, FWIW. this mixer does accept CC messages for different scenes, but I have enough different band configurations that it becomes a little untenable to use scenes. I'd rather mute some of the effects returns, which require the NRPN message format.)

Thanks!
Geoff

edit - title should be NRPN, sorry 👎️

There is no native NRPN command. A better way to send multiple commands at the same time is to string them together in one command:

[midi@00:05.01: cc31.127@1,cc32.127@1,cc33.127@1]

Gotcha, thx Peter. As I understand it, this will have the same effect as the NRPN message, but I'll test it out and see.

Thanks
