I have been working quite a bit on Midas Pro 1 & Pro 2 Consoles lately. I did find the initial set up very slow.
I spent a while with the off line editor creating a show file & it can be downloaded from HERE
The Offline editor is available from http://www.midasconsoles.com/products/index.php?PRO1-IP
There is a different editor for the Various different models, Pro 1/2/3/6 & 9. But they are primarily the same thing, they just add the channel count. I created the File on the Pro1 Editor as 40 Channels is generally enough.
The file I created is for a Corporate type event, with Radios, Lectern & Play Back. Output wise it is configured for L/R/Sub, 8x Mon Mixes, Stereo Group with GEQ for Radios & 4 FX including Plate & Hall Verbs, Delay & Spectrum Analyser. Patching is done 1-1 via a digital stage box. There is a little bit of local patch too for REC outs & Talk Back. See the Table Below for Details. The File is for a Midas Pro1 to DL251 Stage Box.
