Thanks, Jim. For hinting me about the MIDI Hack in the fist place :-) I'm not sure such a script would be possible and my "plan B" is right now about to take over. That is to run Numerology standalone slave synced to Mobius standalone and send control events via IAC Bus 2 (Bus 1 already used for MIDI clock sync going into the slaving Fractal Audio amp/fx unit/audio interface). This not opens up new ways to implement long command sequences generated in Numerology but also to pipe control data into the AxeFxII. Numerology is an application that brings together modern computer platforms with the musical aspects of modular sequencing. It allows to take "snaphots" of any state of any number of step sequencers in any setup of modulating both each other and other gear - and these snapshots can then either be recalled directly by pushing a button/pedal or they can be chained into playlists (similar to clip launch properties follow actions in Ableton Live). http://www.five12.com Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.perboysen.com http://www.youtube.com/perboysen On Thu, Jun 5, 2014 at 5:55 AM, Jim Goodin <jimgoodinmusic@gmail.com> wrote: > Per I"m glad this turned in to a good find for you and produced both > interesting new musicality as well as some income.
