[QLab] MIDI and System Exclusive commands

[Jim Carroll]

Thanks to everyone who gave me input into making the leap to  
controlling a light console with QLab.

I tried it over the weekend with an NSI Melange Plus board at the  
theatre I'm in right now (note to self: back up your show before you  
experiment!)

According to the manual, the Melange uses System Exclusive commands.  
I don't see anything in QLab to support this. I noticed that QLab  
doesn't support two-phase commit, but it doesn't say anything about  
System Exclusive.

I tried setting an MSC GO command into a cue list just to see what  
would happen. It caused the entire board to reboot as if the power  
had been cycled. Thankfully no data was lost and the Note To Self was  
reinforced.

Is this board too old to work or am I missing something?
