Dan Dugan Automatic Microphone Mixer #1

Closed lightbright01 closed 6 months ago

lightbright01 commented 2 years ago

I currently use a MY16 Automatic Mixing Controller in multiple Yamaha Sound Boards. I would love the ability to be able to control basic functionality of the mixer via companion. Things like being able to press the Override button or Preset button or Mute button for a group. In reading the manual this appears to be a possibility via ASCII commands sent over Ethernet.

Dan Dugan has a yahoo group that he is very active in responding to questions in. His site is below.

The manual is here but I suspect it wont help in building this module. I think the best course of action would be to check the Yahoo users group.

Have you look at the Yamaha module??

Hey dszoka,

Yes, and that works really well on many of the Yamaha boards. I use it for CL and TF all the time, but the card is a separate type of control. I specifically used the card with an M7CL last time I used the card. Last I checked, the M7CL does not have a module at this time nor does it look likely to be incorporated due to technical issues.

Maybe reach out to Andrew Broughton via http://discourse.checkcheckonetwo.com

He is the person behind the Yamaha module and a few other Yamaha control software …

he could tell you straight away if possible

Serial Commands for Dugans Notes.docx

Please see attached API doc that applies to the Dugan MY card and other models such as the Madi and Dante units.

I have access to Model N (Dante) units, and can assist with testing.

The Yamaha RCP protocol has nothing to do with the Dugan protocol; however the Dugan protocol wont control the Dugan Automixer built into the QL/CL and other more modern desks (but it should control the MY-16 Dugan card).

I am in the process of creating a much more thorough api doc than the file I previously shared (from Sam @ Dugan). I am testing it against our Model N Dante units. Is there anyone who would be able to test it against other models, such as the MY-16 or AES & Madi units? I believe there may be some differences in functionality between these models.

@lightbright01 I have the control side working against a Model N here. If you would like to test it I could add a specific model to the config for the MY-16. No feedbacks are presently in place, and the Model M & N support more functions than the MY-16, so you will find some commands don't work / aren't relevant.
