The best way is via timecode and cuelists. Alternatively Titan does have MIDI trigger functions but unfortunately these are not available on TitanOne.

Since there's no MIDI this pretty much limits you to using Winamp as a timecode source but at least it's an option.

I use pcdj vj can i use that to timecode. I could cuelist but as the acts are live comedy and singng, with it being live comedy it can sometimes over run so cue-ing won't be an option.

Currently the only options for timecode are internal, clock, Winamp, MIDI and SMPTE. Only the Sapphire Touch has SMPTE and MIDI must be via physical MIDI connection on consoles (at the time of writing those are Titan Mobile, Tiger Touch, Pearl Expert and Sapphire Touch). Unfortunately it is not possible to use MIDI over Usb.

So I'm afraid the only option I see you having with TitanOne is Winamp.

Of course I could be wrong...

anyone knows if Avolites are planning to implement (internal) midi support in TitanOne? I mean Windows already has internal midi support and if you for example use Bome's midi translator you're full of possibilities...
