There are virtually no resources on the internet for the CAD MegaMix VCA Automation system. Hopefully this might actually be of some use to someone else... someday.
I was originally haing a problem getting the MegaMix software syncing to the rest of the gear in my system. The Megamix system worked independantly, but not when using the external sync as the manual describes.
According to how the manual(s) indicate to hook up this VCA automation, the chain is supposed to include sending external synch (MTC) to the MIDI 2 input of the IFI-8. This is apparently incorrect.
If you move the MTC directly into a second MIDI input on the MIDI controller, mine is a Studio 4, you get MTC into the OMS software/MegaMix software and sync occurs. (Be sure to activate the second input channel of the controller.)
I do not know if this is a misprint in the manual, a problem with the IFI-8 or a problem with the IFI-8 firmware.
