Hi,
There is a nativ sac plugin which controls gain / phantom of up to 64 channels.

where to find this native sac plugin, or do you mean the IOIH Control?

[LEFT][font=tahoma]both pieces of software are created by myself.

Currently neither ther plug-in nor the server are available. It will take some time to get them ready to realease (documentations, final tests).

This video shows a proof of concept using the hardware I/O of SAC and an other version of the server

Hi,

I just packed all files including a short manual and loaded it up to my server. You can find it here.
Use at your own risk!!!

Any reports are welcome.

Hi Tomy,
thank you for your effort!
It seems it is working with SAC 32-Bit but can't loaded with SAC64. Right?
Do you have plans for the 64-Bit version also?

Best regards
Walter

Hi,

• Yesterday I noticed a bug in the current version of TIOControl, so I'll post a fixed one in a few hours
• Server (TIOControl.exe) is working and available on request for win64. Did a gig today using the 64bit version.
• Plugin is available compiled for 64bit. Control itself is working, but store / recall and will not work. I'd need the API specs for SAC64 to adapt that part to SAC64.

New release

https://www.satlive.audio/sac/SAC_TIO_1_2.zip

• Removed obsolete setting from server menu
• Fixed a bug which blocks communication to TIO in some cases
• Improved scanning for Tios
• The archive now contains both server versions (TIOControl32 and TIOControl64), but plugin will work with SAC32 only.

Enjoy

Tomy

Thank you Tomy!
As I read in your SAC-TIO documentation the reason for SAC32 only is that you do not have the needed information about the SAC64 API?
Are you in touch with Bob that he can maybe provide you with that information necessary for you?
@Bob: I ask friendly if you can support Tomy with the SAC64 programming interface information for his new SAC plugin?

For me SAC64 and well remote controllable DANTE converters are the way I also like to follow.
Even better if the AD-converter settings are saved with the SAC projects.

Hi

I'm in touch with Bob.
I think the best way would be using SAC's hardware control interface, because it will take care of synchronisation between host and remote(s) and it would open some nice features for the future of SAC, link including Gain and Phantom into the channel strip or think of midi rotaries controlling the gains ..
As you might have seen in the video linked above, there is a version of TioControl that translates the SAC commands into commands for the TIO1608-D. But I found that the current implementation of the hardware-control interface in SAC is not fully working.
Custom configuration of the hardware control would allow you to adopt the range of gain available or other features to your particular hardware.


I think that the way started with the hardware-control section in SAC is a very nice one. SAC just needs to deliver gain / 48V / pad information via TCP/IP (which is working right now) and external servers will translate that information to the hardware currently used. This would allow SAC to stay hardware - independent but yet customize-able for different kinds of external hardware.

If anyone will take the risk .... here is the server for linking SAC HardwareIOControl to TIO1608-D.
But it's just a proof of concept. USE ON YOUR OWN RISK! DO NOT USE IN A PRODUCTIVE ENVIROMENT!
