Embedding Many midi commands

Eclipse79

I'm now using stage Traxx as my full-fledged player vs Mac-based software that was playing the mp3 and midi commands for lighting. I see the only way to do this is to manually hit the midi learn icon and receive the learn command. Is there a way to "enable" that midi button for the length of the song when programming so I don't have to hit it 50 times a song after receiving an embedded midi command for lighting?? It would be a huge time saver, plus some commands are very close together and it is a challenge to get the timing right.
Thanks!

You mean you press play, aktivate midi learning and this will keep on adding received midi commands with the playback timestamp until you hit stop or cancel?

Eclipse79

YES!! This would make up for the lack of import of midi files that send control commands. I can hit play to start receiving and have an external device send the commands from a midi file.
That option would help me and a couple of friends that use midi tracks to control lighting. Is this possible?
Thanks!

OK, I will add this to my todo list for version 3.4.

Eclipse79

I know you probably get this question all the time. Do you know when 3.4 might happen? Depending on when, I might wait to add midi commands until then.
Thanks!

I plan for 2 feature releases per year. 3.3 was just released and 3.4 will come in summer.

Hi Peter! I'm absolutely loving the beta! Question for you. Do you know when the beta will be available for real use? Is it ok for me to start importing songs and setting up beta then create full back up and restore when real app is avail?

Eclipse79

and the running midi feature is perfect. I was able to embed all my midi commands to control lighting throughout the song.

Glad to hear it works fine for you.

I think the final version will be released early August. Until then you can setup everythig in the beta and move to the final version through a full backup once released. All beta versions can be used for 6 weeks so you have plenty of time to migrate.
