STM2448 controlled via midi through YAMAHA 01V - Successful!

[jetmoon]

Hi everybody,

I have just finished to set up my "remote controlling" of the STM2448 mixer directly from the well-known digital mixer YAMAHA 01V and I thought that maybe it could be useful to share this with you..
Actually I'm able to control (through control change messages) the STM2448 (2 Pulsar2 cards mounted in my P4 PC) moving faders and pan knobs of the YAMAHA 01V and viceversa (that is, I also move the automated YAMAHA 01V faders and virtual pan knobs just moving STM2448's faders and knobs), while writing all the automation data in a MIDI track in Digital Performer on my MAC! That is, STM2448 and YAMAHA 01V are locked each other! And, obviously, both YAMAHA 01V and STM2448 receive midi data from DP5 during playback if I activate the PLAYBACK in the MIDI track of DP
This means that I actually have the concrete possibility to mix in real time with my hands and save all the automation data! Anyone experienced that?
The cool thing is that when I switch between SCOPE projects, the YAMAHA 01V recalls automatically all the STM2448 settings related to THAT project!
Also, it would be possible to control the AUX sends and returns, too!
The only issue is that I can control just 14 faders+the master one..so I was wondering if the BEHRINGER DDX3216 could be the final solution as MIDI controller for the STM2448 in order to control all the 24 ch. faders and knobs...I think so, since it has 16 physical faders (plus the MASTER) and virtually other 16 swithching to page 2..and a physical PANNING knob for each channel.
Any experience? Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance

P.S. If you're interested I could post my SCOPE project scheme (with the MIDI connections and MERGE) and eventually some instructions
Ciao!

Hi,

I do a similar scheme with Wolf's mixers and a Mackie Control.
Can be up to 32 faders (stereo channels), pan, mute, solo, bus and aux sends, and I write the automation in Reaper or Sonar.

Nice discovery.. thanks for sharing !

This might be a cheap solution in case you need both a AD/DA converter and a good midi controller for the scope mixers..

Hi Jetmoon,

The O1V is really quite good for this purpose. Remember that the O1V is actually a 24ch mixer, so you can also assign midi cc's to the 8 option I/O channels, then you can just jump into option I/O fader mode to access control of channels 17-24 on the STM mixer in Scope. So given that 13/14 & 15/16 are stereo channel faders, you really have 22 channel faders plus your stereo master fader.

Jetmoon, this is great news!

Please feel free to send PM me your setup configuration and control files for the 01. I also have a 01V96V2 - currently controlling Samplitude, but would prefer to get it configured this way (but haven't had time).

Thanks for sharing this.
