The dLive website says that you can use 3rd party controllers with the dLive over TCP/IP. Can you use the Behringer X-Touch?
Can you use a GLD in TCP/IP mode as a controller?
No, in this instance ‘3rd party controllers’ refers to Crestron, AMX or similar control systems that can send/receive custom messages over TCP/IP. One typical application is the integration with other equipment such as light, video etc.
The details of the TCP/IP protocol will be published with firmware V1.5 but for anyone interested, the GLD MIDI TCP protocol offers a good starting point for simple Scene recall or input level / mute control.
Nicola,
I look forward to reading about that when it’s released. Thanks!
You COULD use an X-Touch if you have conversion and midi patch software to do the conversion of custom messages to/from the dLive. I did it in Logic for a Mackie control to work with iLive but it was a LOT of work! MUCH MUCH easier to just buy the IP6 and IP8 controllers!!!
I use X-Touch as a control surface for QU-Pac using BomeBox. I’m sure I could develop something similar for dLive.
If interested, I’m the main support guy at forum.bome.com and can be reached there.
Another option is to use Mixing Station as the interface between an external hardware controller and the console.
