Sisyfos Audio Controller

Audiomixer control build for intelligent automation.

You use the fader for the level, and PGM on/off for fade-in/out. TAKE NEXT crossfades from NEXT to PGM

It´s fast to see what faders are on-aie, and whether they are PGM level or Voiceover level

GUI with open channelstrip:

These are the functions on each channel:

These are the functions on the channelstrip:

(You open the channelstrip by clicking on the channel label) The features on the channelstrip depends on the Mixer Protocol.

Full Channelstrip:

(You open the channelstrip by clicking on the "Full Ch.Strip" in the normal channelstrip)

The Advanced channelstrip has all the features the seleced Mixer Protol supports. (Example: Midas M32)

If you need a MiniMonitorView for a client:

Run webpage with

localhost/?view=minimonitor

If you need a Microphone Tally View for a client:

Run webpage with

localhost/?view=mic-tally

Routing of Faders to Channels

Routing of Faders to multiple channels or a single channel are possible. This way Sisyfos can control some or all channels on a mixer. And a single fader can be used for E.G. a 5.1 (on 6 mono faders)

Load/Save Routing

Routing setups can be stored in STORAGE. So it´s possible to have different Routings dependent of what setup the Audio mixer is using.

Run as Docker: (On linux)

docker pull olzzon/sisyfos-audio-controller:develop
docker volume create sisyfos-vol
sudo docker run --mount source=sisyfos-vol,target=/opt/sisyfos-audio-controller/storage -e loggerIp='0.0.0.0' -e loggerPort=9300 -e loggerFileLevel='error' --network="host" --restart always olzzon/sisyfos-audio-controller:develop

Running Docker with Elastic Search: Set env vars: loggerIp=xx.xx.xx.xx and loggerPort=xxxx and loggerLevel='info'

if you wish to log to logfile instead of kibana: Set env var: -e loggerFileLevel='info' (no kibana args will default to: 0.0.0.0:9200 logger level='info')

Install Local node host:

(Be aware that a server reload will quit server and you need an external source to restart)

git clone https://github.com/olzzon/sisyfos-audio-controller.git
cd sisyfos-audio-controller
yarn
yarn build
yarn start --loggerLevel='info'

Logger levels:

When running Sisyfos you can define the log level by: adding --loggerLevel='xxxx' The levels are:

error (only errors)
warn (errors and warning)
info (standard info regarding connectiviy and data from Automation protocol etc. including errors and warnings)
verbose (info level plus: data send and received from Audiomixer)

Open GUI in browser:

localhost:1176 (or whatever ip you use for Sisyfos Nodejs/Docker)

Important - To enable settings:

localhost:1176/?settings=1

To see the MiniMonitorView:

localhost:1176/?minimonitor=1

If you want to disable the VU meters:

localhost:1176/?vu=0

Settings:

Show PFL Controls:

As NEXT has been implemented, and PFL usually only work on on channel at a time, the PFL is only working correctly on 1:1 routed setups (And with the CasparCG protocol)

(Mixer presets are stored in MixerProtocolPresets.js)

Following preset name are possible:

CasparCG
- use storage/default-casparcg.ccg as template and place you own file in storage folder.
- base your casparcg.config by the casparcg.config file in the same folder
- remember to activate OSC in the casparcg.config file to it points to Sisyfos
Midas Master
- OSC protocol for Midas M32 and Behringer X32
- Port 10023
- Mixer preset loading (using .x32 files in storage folder)
- Protocol supports:
  - Eq, Comp, Delay, Mix minus
Lawo Mc2
- Ember Protocol
reaper
- OSC protocol for control Reaper (reaper.fm)
Ardour Master
- OSC protocol for Ardour (www.ardour.org)
- Port 3819
- The volume change in Ardour is on it´s channel faders.
- Todo:
  - Meter calibration
SSL System T - Broadcast Mixer
- SSL Automation Protocol for System T
- Port 10001
- Set Protocol Latency to around 120ms
Behringer xr master
- OSC protocol for Behringer XR12,16,18
- Port 10024
- In this version the Behringer is slave of Producers-Audio-mixer, so faders on the behringer is turned down when channel is of.
DMXIS - Sisyfos control of DMX Lightcontroller
- Default Port is 8000
- Controls Fader On/Off with preset level from Sisyfos.
- Easy implementation of state based lightcontrol from Automation.
- the PROTOCOL DELAY setting should be raised to 50ms, as DMXIS is responding a little slowly.
midi
- Generic MIDI - still preminilary
- When using MIDI protocols, the PROTOCOL DELAY setting should be rised to at least 50ms
Yamaha QL1
- Ip - MIDI based Protocol
- Port 50000
- Stable implementation of 2-ways Fader and Mute
Studer Vista 1-5-9 (untested)
- mono, stereo, 51 channels fader level mute and Aux send from Sisyfos TO mixer
- No 2 way support for now
Studer OnAir 3000 (untested)
- channel 1 to 24 fader level from Sisyfos TO mixer
- No 2 way support for now

Skaarhoj panels:

Skaarhoj in RAW panel mode is supported for rotary buttons including labels.

HWC#1-xx = fader level on Sisyfos
HWC#81-89 = enabled Monitor sends for Aux mix% on fader 1
HWC#91-99 = enabled Monitor sends for Aux mix% on fader 2
HWC#101-109 = enabled Monitor sends for Aux mix% on fader 3

The monitor sends are the same as those on the Channel Strip.

Automation Support:

It´s possible to control the Producers-Audio-Mixer from an automationsystem, for it to act as middleware.

Set state:

To set the state send these OSC commands from you Automation to ProducersAudioMixer Port: 5255:

Set channel to PGM (optional: indiviaul fadetime):

(the integer defines: 0 - Off, 1 - Pgm On, 2 - Voice Over) (if second is missing it will take default fade value) /ch/1/mix/pgm - integer: { 0, 1 or 2 } - float { fadetime in ms }

Set channel to PST:

/ch/1/mix/pst - integer: { 0, 1 or 2 } (the integer defines: 0 - Off, 1 - Pgm On, 2 - Voice Over)

Mute channel:

/ch/1/mute - integer: { 0, 1 } (the integer defines: 0 - Mute off, 1 - Mute On)

Set channel faderlevel:

/ch/1/mix/faderlevel - float {between 0 and 1}

Set channel label:

/ch/1/label - string {name of channel}

Inject Command:

Pass a command directly from Automation to Audiomixer /inject

Crossfade between PGM and PST:

/take

Set snap 1-xx to PST:

/snap/1

Fade all channels to black (mute)

/fadetoblack

Clear all pst buttons

/clearpst

Hide or show channel strips on GUI:

/ch/{value1}/visible - integer { 0 or 1 }

Get state:

Get full state of all channels:

/state/full - returns a json string with an array of channels: { pgmOn: boolean, pstOn: boolean, faderLevel: boolean }

Get state channel PGM:

/state/ch/1/mix/pgm - returns pgm state integer { 0 or 1 }

get state channel PST:

/state/ch/1/mix/pst - returns pgm state integer { 0 or 1 }

Get state channel faderlevel:

/state/ch/1/mix/faderlevel - float {between 0 and 1}

get state channel Mute:

/state/ch/1/mute - returns mute state integer { 0 or 1 }

Get state group PGM:
