Can I use USB/MIDI Fader Extensions or the like?

[Netwizard]

I've been working for years now with the DVC1.
The only thing missing would be a hardware extension for quicker access to certain faders in a live situation.
Is it possible to use controllers like e.g. the ELATION MIDICON USB MIDI-CONTROLLER or MIDI equipment in general?
If it is, please provide their names or a how-to for both DVC1 and DVC2.
USB devices such as num-pads should work I suppose?
Thanx!!!

DVC2 allows you to trigger the following with midi:
-Control a DMX output fader
-Activate a scene
-Stop a scene
-Control the speed of a scene
-Pause your show in live
-Skip to the next scene in live
-Trigger a group
-Show the light beam
-Make a selection

More MIDI functionality will be available in DVC3 later this year

ok simon , how do you trigger a group. I would love to know.??

[simonB]

Tools->shortcuts->groups

Type the midi control (or I think you can also click in the midi box and activate the midi command ont he controller and it automatically pairs, can't remember)

[Richard CSL]

No Simon not those groups, the groups of scenes. as per the new turn all scenes in a group on modification.

I suppose one way would be to assign a midi note to all scenes in a group, but is there a limitation as to the number of scenes that can be triggered, ie 5 as per keyboard shortcuts?

Wow, I didn’t know you could Control a DMX output fader and also control the speed of a scene with the DVC2 –Cheers for the info
