These (4) buttons are intended to select the current function or context of the (32)
matrix buttons. An example would be to have
M1 select from (32) fixtures, M2 select
from (32) colors, M3 select gobos, and M4 select effects, etc. If your lighting software
supports this feature it will be taken care of automatically when you select the
MIDICON PRO ™ as your controller from your lighting software’s setup menu. If your
lighting software does not support this feature and you would like to have it, you can
create your own MIDI map using the
MIDICON PRO Mapper
™ software and tell it to
enable the MATRIX CONTEXT buttons. This will let you send and receive (4) different
sets of MIDI messages from the (32) MATRIX buttons, one set for each MATRIX
CONTEXT button when selected. When combined with paging you will be able to
have (2048) different button messages from the (32) MATRIX buttons. Please refer to
the
CUSTOM MIDI Maps section for more details.
These (4) buttons also send MIDI Note ON/OFF messages like any other button so
that they can be used for any purpose. Please refer the
MIDI MESSAGES section at
the end of this manual for each button’s default MIDI Note message.
