I was wondering what midi hardware anyone could recommend to make full use of the new playback/programming tracking features would love to have my backup hog3pc track both playback and programming.
I am not sure which tracking features you are speaking about.
3.1.7 does support midi note input but not midi note output which means the desk can listen to other midi controllers for keypresses but cannot send midi notes to another desk
ok i must have stepped into something interesting then, right now running 3.1.6 and connected midi to my backup hog3pc running same show file same version, and found that when i did anything on the playback side on my hog3, my hog3pc backup did it to! basicly i had playback tracking going on sweet! however my hog3pc was not tracking any programing keystrokes i read up and came across a paper stating that the hog 3 outputed playback tracking using midi, and i just saw that release 3.1.7 features multi channel outputing including ta-da..... programing tracking! so since i got my backup to track playback, could i get it to track playback and programming via midi. the device i am using is -> www.long-mcquade.com/products/2650/Keyboards/MIDI_Interfaces/M-Audio/MIDISPORT_2x2_Anniversary_Edition.htm I am a total novice when it come to midi so I appologize if my terminology is incorrect. the setup i used to enable playback tracking is as follows hog 3 console midi output enabled midi out>midi cable>midi input (1) on M-audio midisport 2X2, usb out>usb cable> usb in on hog3pc midi input enabled
That is all based on Midi Show Control (MSC) and is using system exclusive messages to trigger playback and page changes. This is how most people current setup tracking backups but the truth of the matter is it is not a true tracking backup as it only handles playback items. When we release v3.2.0 later this year you will have a true redundant tracking backup.
yes an i am very happy to here that, but until then, i noticed in the release notes for 3.1.7 there was support for programmer tracking, so i was just wondering if i could run both playback and programming tracking at the same time.

I'm not sure where you read that, but 3.1.7 doesn't have anything related to programmer tracking.
3.1.7 added support for MIDI notes. MIDI notes are primarily intended to allow an external device such as an AMX/Crestron touchpanel system, Studio Automation System, or interactive show control device to interact with the console.
