MIDI trigger with MyDMX running in background?

Former Member

Hi,

We recently installed MyDMX at our church where we also use MediaShout to drive our video projector. My ultimate goal is to drive MyDMX from MediaShout. I've seen examples online of driving lighting consoles from MediaShout by playing .MID files from the MediaShout script (example: http://www.geocities.com/mikeolivercgp/).

I installed the Maple Virtual MIDI Cable and have successfully triggered MyDMX scenes by playing single note .MID files from Windows Media Player. But I had to use my laptop's play/pause button so that I could keep MyDMX in the foreground.

Now here's my dilemma: In order to pull this off effectively I need MyDMX to respond to the MIDI command even when it is in the background--MediaShout must be in the foreground. Is there any way to get MyDMX to respond to MIDI commands when running in the background?
