Enttec Pro MK2 + Midi opinions please
Posted: Sun Jul 07, 2019 7:14 pm
Hi there - after some opinions/recommendations please.
So our band runs some lights alongside whilst we play - the current signal path for this is midi notes from Akai MPC > midi interface > QLC+ > enttec open .
Last show we did with it things started to freeze up after so long (this could have been an issue with a dmx led decoder), our enttec open was second hand and looks to be quite an old version, also we'd really like to run it reliably from a mac, so though budget is limited we're looking for something a little more robust.
Does anyone have experience of working in a similar way with midi and the Pro Mk2? Would it - with the purchase of the extra cable - allow us to omit the midi interface from our setup? Is it reliable? I found a few posts on here suggesting otherwise but all from a few years back so wondered if anyone had anything new to add - any help or recs on other hardware would be super appreciated. Thankyou.
