    Default Using lighting desk as midi controller > Midi or Midi out

    Just looking through the range of reasonably priced lighting desks with uber numbers of faders and buttons and a better build quality by miles than the majority of midi controllers.

    I know some DO have midi out, but generally seems to be limited to scene selection rather than transmitting the fader data.

    What I was thinking is that the likes of complex macros could most likely be triggered from a pre-programmed desk at the touch of a button - interesting ?
    I have seen some elaborate DMX > Midi convertors but in the $300 bracket.

    Any other options out there maybe a USB > Dmx dongle and software to convert the signal to midi.

    Ideas people Ideas

    BTW .. some of the desks in question (all under 200 bucks!)
