Remote Control : Generic Control
24 - 578
Scope
Pyramix can control and be controlled by a wide variety of external hardware. This chapter, Remote Control deals
with situations where Pyramix is controlled by an external device such as a control surface or machine controller.
Generic Control
The Pyramix transport can be controlled by devices capable of issuing standard Sony 9-Pin (P2 Protocol) com-
mands and by MMC (MIDI MACHINE CONTROL) commands.
The Pyramix Mixer can be controlled by devices capable of issuing suitable MIDI data. The Mixer can be “taught”
which commands relate to which function.
Hardware Control Surfaces
Hardware remote control is accomplished via the Merging Technologies Oasis protocol, Proprietary protocols,
Merging Technologies EMC (Enhanced MIDI Control) MIDI or the 9-pin (Sony P2 protocol). Templates are supplied
for some popular controllers or you can map your own MIDI control surface to Pyramix.
ISIS
The Merging Technologies ISIS and ISIS Expander are purpose designed for Pyramix and offer comprehensive
control for many applications. Notably, in conjunction with the Pyramix Fade Editor, editing is extremely quick.
For full details please contact your Merging Technologies Sales Partner.
Supported Controllers Table
Pyramix Virtual Studio supports controllers from many different manufacturers, as seen in the table below, in sev-
eral control modes. While JL Cooper products work with a proprietary protocol, Yam ah a, Radikal Technologies,
and Mackie units need to be set to HUI mode to communicate with Pyramix. Finally the Sony DMX-R100 com-
municates via standard MIDI control and Sony 9-pin P-2 protocol commands.
Auto-mapping
Wherever auto-mapping is supported, our controller driver will automatically link active Pyramix parameters to all
available control surface items. With manual mapping, a drag & drop or menu dialog, depending on the driver, will
allow for any specific Pyramix parameter to be linked to any available control surface item.
Strip Cloning
Strip cloning will duplicate all parameter assignment for a dedicated strip to adjacent channel(s). Finally, MIDI
mapping will create links between Pyramix parameters and control surface items with a select and learn method.
