MIDI Operation
The controller will only respond to MIDI commands on the MIDI channel when it is
set to full stop. Perform all MIDI control using Note on commands. All other MIDI
instructions are ignored. To stop a chase, send the blackout on note.
The controller is always in MIDI receive mode. It is not necessary for the
display to read [MIDI] for the controller to respond to MIDI commands.
Setting the MIDI
Channel

<MIDI/ADD>
. The display should read [MIDI] and the current channel assignment.
2. Using
<BANK UP/DOWN>
, select the MIDI channel (1~16).
3. Press <MIDI/ADD> to save the setting.

Tap Sync
This feature is another method of adjusting the playback speed. It functions in the
same modes in which the <SPEED> fader is active. Please see the steps below for
the operation.
1. Press <TAP SYNC/DISPLAY> three (3) times. The timing between pressing this button
determines the speed.
2. Repeat, as necessary, until the time has been set to the desired speed.
It may be a good idea to synchronize pressing this button three times along
with the beat of the music (bpm). This will allow the lights to synchronize with
the music.
Fog Control
The Obey™ 70 has a dedicated fog button that will work with compatible
CHAUVET® fog machines. This button works with the dedicated 5-pin connector that
is located on the back panel of the controller.
When the fog LED is on, it indicates that the fog machine has reached the
maximum temperature. When the LED is not on, the fog machine may still
function, but it will not operate for maximum rated time, as it will begin below
the maximum temperature.
Strobe Control The Obey™ 70 has a dedicated strobe button that will work with compatible
CHAUVET® products. This button works with the dedicated ¼” connector that is
located on the back panel of the controller.
The LED indicator for the strobe button will flash at the same rate as the strobe
light(s).
