David and Edward, thank you both. We spent 5 hours on this on Tuesday and (surprisingly) never came across TouchOSC - thank you for that one it sounds promising with good documentation (we are an amateur theatre but we do have a realistic budget for tech). I looked at MidiMonster and a couple of others and I apologies for not putting those I have tried / looked at in my original post. One thing that I've come across is OSC via Telnet. SFX can send data packets (assuming text messages at this point) via TCP/IP. The S48 seems to be able use TCP (SLIP) for OSC so that's something for us to explore. It doesn't help that searching for "open sound control" largely returns items about turning on Windows sound! Miles

Myself and one of our sound designers (Tony) are trying to get our FLX S48 to be commanded by the sound software (SFX6). Initially we are only looking at getting the Go button operated for the master playback but it would be nice to explore what else we could do with it. The S48 does not have MSC, only OSC. SFX6 can not output OSC so we believe that we need an interpreter (to run on the SFX PC perhaps) to convert its output from MIDI to OSC before sending those commands over ethernet to the S48. First question is this possible / realistic? Secondly has anyone achieved this already? Miles (new to S48 from Jan this year)
