Every time I use SFX on a show I think I must get around to working out how to set levels without having to wait for every fade to complete in real time - and...
... That button allows you to play the .wav file that the fade cue points to, and set the levels in the mixer tab. It's not ideal, in that you can only do one...
... As far as I know, there is no secret. A major item on my wishlist for years is a "Complete Fades" command. It's hugely useful in LCS, and an amazing time...
Hi all, I'm trying to set up SFX to send MTC to the SM so that they can call cues off of timecode (don't try to talk me out of it either!). We're using 5.6...
I know its not anyone's favorite, but I always still leave a full set of CUE STATUS windows open down one side of the screen so that at any time, I can pause,...
... With some of the shows I do, I'd have to have 20 or more cue status windows open at any given time to really deal with this, as you can never predict what...
Jeremy, Totally agree...unfortunately that does not help the original problem immediately. Thats a "version-down-the-road" issue. Im not stating that you...
Has anyone ever used Watchout by Dataton and SFX together? The manual for Watchout says you can use other computers using TCIP routing does sfx show control do...
... SFX doesn't send anything over TCP/IP, unless you have some other piece of software doing something in between. I don't know anything about Watchout....
Hi I have just updated our sound devices from echo laya to echo audiofire 8. SFX seems to lose the sample rate (replay is slow)after a period of inactivity. If...
I have triggered Watchout from SFX. I did not use TCP/IP, but instead used a prgram to convert midi messages sent from SFX to keyboard commands on the...
... Take a look in the Echo Console to verify that under the "Settings" option that you do have the sample rate locked (reboot between changing as I've seen...
So, nobody has ANY idea why I'm getting jittery MTC from SFX? Has anyone had acceptable performance with MTC generated from SFX? If so, what was your...
When using SFX to generate MTC on a previous project, I ran into similar problems. In that application I was able to use another application to generate MTC, I...
SFX relies on the timing output of the MIDI card and it is possible that while we are outputing all of the MTC, the card and/or driver might eat some messages....
Hmm. The MIF is also a MMC compatible device. I suppose I could send the MIF a MMC locate and MMC play command instead of MTC. I've never had problems...
Hey folks, I am happily sending Go signals for SFX from my Yamaha DM1k via MIDI. Now a problem. I want the lighting board to fire one particular cue by send...
A quick uninformed answer would be to look into MIDI-OX and MIDI Yoke (www.midiox.com). Many people on this list seem to use and recommend it. Disclaimer:...
Or you may be able to use either the light board or the DM1k to merge the signals. See if there is a MIDI echo option somewhere. That will merge anything...
... Jason nailed this one. But I'll expand. Just google MIDI-Ox, it will show up right away. You'll need to install both MIDI-Ox, and the MIDI-Yoke NT...
Ahh boy. I really hate Windows. Almost as much as I hate copy protection. So I thought to myself- well, it looks like maybe it's just a build 19 thing, even...
... If you have a very early SFX 5.5 key, install SFX 5.6 Build 9 or higher -- should be using latest. If the serial number is not correctly read from the...

Carlton, ... The issue is not that Build 19 won't run, but that build 19 won't install. Something about the installer is wrong, or at least is wrong on this...
Ah, ok.... Windows installer was updated in SP2, so if you are not using SP2 you'll need the updated Windows installer that we have put on our FTP site. ...
OK- this did it. But what a terribly frustrating experience. And there's 3 hours I'll never get back. One of the first things I mentioned was that I was...
