[SML] QLab triggering Express via MIDI or MSC....

[Brian James]

Are you totally against a network approach? I have had a ton of stability and success using the network MIDI option. You really do not need a true network, static addresses on both ends should do it.

Network MIDI is built into the Mac OS and if you have a Windows machine you can use Rtp Midi
