How to get MIDI into NX1?

ONYX
1

Hello!

We recently (November 2023) purchased an NX1 running 4.8 (up-to-date as of this post). One important function for us is to be able to trigger cues via MIDI control (specifically from MultiTracks Playback and/or ProPresenter 7). My issue is that I cannot find how to get MIDI into the NX1 since it has no dedicated ports. I’ve gotten pretty familiar with the ONYX interface (documentation is still my friend), I know lighting and DMX fairly well, and I know a little about MIDI. My only real experience with MIDI is running it over wifi between 2 or 3 computers running either Apple’s built-in MIDI or Bome’s Network Pro.

I feel like I am missing something super simple. What do I need physically to be able to connect the NX1 logically to the network I’m sending MIDI through? And/or what settings do I need to find on the board and/or computer(s) to make this work?

Thanks in advance!!

we use timecode expert software to translate smpt tc or midi tc to artnet tc on a seperate laptop, the artnet tc can be received by nx1 via network.
