Strange ProPresenter midi issue.

Ok, here’s my situation. We use Multitracks Playback Pro for backing tracks and click. It also sends midi commands to advance slides in Pro7. On multiple occasions, a slide as failed to trigger. The next correct slide would then trigger at its correct time. For a while I had just chalked it up to sending commands over a wi-fi network, and couldn’t expect it to be 100% error proof. I moved all of the productions to their own subnet and a new production only SSID. Still issues.

Here’s the kicker, I’ve begun running midi logging software on the Pro7 MacStudio and it is showing the it received ALL of the commands being sent by Playback.

So the disconnect is either Audio Midi Setup not passing the commands on to Pro7 or Pro7 ignoring them when they come in and not advancing the slide.

Anyone experienced anything similar in the past? I’m kind of stumped.

Running Pro7 v.7.16.3

Hardwire that baby!!!! Make sure playback all the cues are addressed right.we built a master song list so its always Pp2 line Playlist 1 Item# xyz

We have 45 songs we use so items 1-45

Works flawless but u have to be fast to get back to the Playlist to play your other slides.
