On today’s ProPresenter show, how to connect Midi devices over the network
Hi, and welcome again to the ProPresenter show. This is the show where I help you learn about propresenter. My name is Paul Alan Clifford and before we get started, if you’d like to learn more about ProPresenter and related stuff, go ahead and click the subscribe button and little bell icon so you can be the first to learn the new tips and tricks I share.
In a previous video, I showed you how to connect a midi lighting console to a Mac running ProPresenter, using the Midi module.
Today, we’re doing something similar, but I’m doing it with a midi signal sent over the network.
So, let’s head over to my computer and get started.

For some lighting consoles and software, this is the only way to go. In other cases, you might have a cable run that makes a USB connection impractical, so this solves that problem too.

For some reason my midi studio doesn’t show enable key. How can I make it become available?
We used to use this method to send background change commands from our lighting software to Pro6. Basically, the lighting software would send a combination of MIDI notes to select a folder from the video/image bin, then select a background within that folder. It kept our wall-wash lighting and Pro6 backgrounds changing at the same time. But something changed with a MacOS update (all within Catalina) and the stability of the network MIDI setup on the Pro6 machine went out the window. It would work for a while, then randomly stop responding at all right in the middle of a service. So we had to stop relying on it and go back to manually coordinating the changes. We've since moved on to Pro7 and there have been numerous MacOS updates since then (still on Catalina). Any idea if the network MIDI glitch has been fixed in MacOS yet?
Trying to setup my Presonus SLCS18AI to network! Picks up automatically via Windows but apparently have to setup via MAC...can you help?
Nice demonstration, but I have a question, please? If you have a midi keyboard and music software on both of the machines do you need a midi module? I followed your steps and I can't seem to get the keyboard to be recognized by my 2nd mac in AMS. By the way, I am using different music software. In addition the 2nd mac is my older mac, so the software was already working in the 2nd mac. Thanks in advance!
Can the computers otherwise see one another?
@@PaulClifford It appears that way. I do screen share all the time and they seem to come up in midi studio network. I've never pinged them though. Thanks for trying to help me.
@@PaulClifford I figured it out. Will explain later. Thanks so much for your quick reply and your willingness to help!
Dear Paul, I am trying to connect my microkorg through UM ONE and I don't manage. Do you have a video that could help me because you have too many videos :) :) ?
Did you look at the one about controlling lights with Midi? I talk about the mac utility and how I connected it there.
I am trying to make a midi connection from an ipad to a mac desktop. I'm connecting mutltracks playback app to our mac to change screens in PP7. I have all the necessary cables. I went to the "audio midi setup directory and I'm supposed to see the cat connection to connect to. It never comes up though the cabling is connected. The ipads show but not cat 5.
Are you connected with wifi or with a lightning to network adapter?
