MSC Show Control vs Echorooms

MSC Show Control turns your iPhone or iPad into a remote for any lighting console or show software that accepts MIDI Show Control (MSC) — Vista, QLab, MagicQ, grandMA2, Onyx, and more. Free to use. If it earns its place in your show kit, there's an optional tip jar — it unlocks nothing, it just keeps the app maintained. Set up your cuelists and cue shortcuts once, connect to the machine running your show, and fire cues from big, glove-friendly buttons built for live use. FEATURES • GO, STOP, RESUME and RELEASE per cuelist, plus a grid of one-tap cue shortcuts • Works over Apple network MIDI (RTP-MIDI): automatic discovery of hosts on your network, or connect manually by IP • grandMA2 “MSC over Ethernet” (UDP) transport • Per-server MSC device ID, configurable command format • Live hex readout of every message sent — see exactly what went on the wire • Cue numbers are sent exactly as you type them, decimals included • Screen stays awake during your show; no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no paywall WORKS WITH Any MSC-capable receiver. macOS hosts work out of the box via Audio MIDI Setup’s Network session. Windows hosts work with the free rtpMIDI driver. Built by a church tech, for everyone who runs cues from the booth.

Repeatability Desk groups baseline and follow-up readings with room, position and equipment context. Compare medians and observed spread while keeping exclusions and missing band fits visible. HOW TO USE THE UPGRADE 1. Capture repeated readings with consistent placement and conditions, or inspect clearly labeled examples. Open Desk and identify the session. 2. Add baseline and follow-up readings. Include at least three readings per group for summaries; record a reason for each exclusion. 3. Review medians and observed ranges, save the session and export the CSV with every included and excluded reading. Room capture, saved reading history, detail views, comparison and acoustic planning references remain. Missing band data is no longer filled with synthetic values in measurement reports. WHAT TO KNOW Three to 12 included readings per group for summaries; up to 50 sessions. Band medians need at least three actual band fits. Observed spread is not a confidence interval or proof that treatment caused a change. Device microphones, placement and ambient conditions affect results. Simulator and example readings are labeled and are not acoustic measurements. Envelope contrast is estimated from the capture, not a calibrated independent noise floor or ISO compliance check. iPhone and iPad. No account required.
