Greetings...

Maybe some of you guys could point me in the right direction.

When I had a rack of adats, my Alesis BRC worked well. Sold all of that.

Anyway, now I have all akai units, four DR16's, and two DR8's. To remotely manage them, I control the transports using RS422 off one of my TMD-4000 tascam mixers - works well, they stay locked, no complaints.

Since the 4000 has very weak track arming functions, I the midi card on the first Akai with a JL Cooper cuepoint, to arm/disarm tracks. This too works well.

Except, the cuepoint only can arm 32 tracks. I have 64 tracks cascaded together, and a seperate pair of DR8's for 16 tracks.

Anyone know of a Midi or RS422-based autolocator that could do the job in one unit? Most of the current JL cooper stuff doesn't go up to 64 tracks as far as I can tell.

How do you guys handle this? Arming tracks by walking in the machine room is NOT convienent :)

Thanks for any pointers!
 
In leu of a recommendation, might someone on this forum have the sony P2 RS422 command set? I could easily make one, actually. Got some stuff off the net but it wasn't very complete.
