MSC input from GrandMA2

[Mr_P]

The naming of cuelists and presets has to be very specific for MSC
The naming in your cuelist picture is wrong - simply name with single numbers, no brackets, colons etc.
Catalyst only requires the cue number to trigger - not the list or path.

Presets need a square bracket around the number and is not related the the actual preset number (but does make sense to follow the same...)
[1] name

see zip file attached with a few examples:

MSC

To Trigger a preset or cue in a cuelist:
send a MSC command 'GO 1'

GO 1:x:x
Cue: List: Path
Only the cue number is required

Set ID the same
Types = All or Lighting

IN CATALYST
Cues in cuelist must be numbered with just the number '1' with no other naming (or quotes)
Presets should be names '[1] name optional'

For presets
Set the MIDI device ID to the same as the sending controller

For Cuelists
Set the MIDI device ID to the same as the sending controller
Set the desired cuelist to control

(multiple cellists can be controlled using multiple MSC device ID's)

Dont try and trigger a preset and cuelist via MSC at the same time - you may get conflicts since the MSC GO command is the same for both preset or cuelilst

Presets can be triggered by DMX/Artnet direct from the MA rather than MSC (and is probably more reliable)

Obviously - you could program everything from the console via DMX/Artnet and avoid the MIDI misery... much more flexible and faster approach!!!
