MIDI Show Control
MIDI Show Control is a specific set of instructions that can be transmitted over a MIDI line
to control lighting systems and other controllers.
MIDI Show Control (MSC) Commands
Emphasis can receive MSC information, send MSC information, or both. You need to set
device IDs for the receiver device and the transmitter device.
Configure device IDs for MIDI Show Control:
Step 1: Press [Setup] [2] [Enter] to select the Options Settings.
Step 2: Press [2] [Enter] to edit the MSC device IDs.
Step 3: Using the Facepanel numeric keypad, type the receiver device ID (between #0-
126) and press [Enter] , or press [S1 - Disable MIDI] .
Step 4: Using the Facepanel numeric keypad, type the transmitter device ID (between
#0-126) and press [Enter] , or press [S1 - Disable MIDI] .
When you enable MSC at your Facepanel, Emphasis will accept the MSC commands listed
below. MSC commands are executed as soon as they are received. In order to accept MSC
commands, the console’s receiver Device ID must match the target device ID for the MIDI
device sending the signals.
Go • If no cue number is sent, Go presses [A/B Go] on the
console. The next cue on the cue list runs in the A/B fader.
• If a cue number is sent, the specified cue runs on the A/B
fader.
• If a cue number is sent, and 2 is sent as the list entry, that
cue runs on the C/D fader.
• If cue 0 is sent, and 2 is sent as the list entry, the
command presses [C/D Go]. The pending cue runs in the
C/D fader. You may also press [A/B Go] by sending Go-
Cue 0-1 .
Stop • The Stop command by itself holds all fades in both fader
pairs.
• If Stop is sent with a cue number and a list entry of 1, only
the cue running in the A/B fader holds.
• If Stop is sent with a cue number and a list entry of 2, only
the cue running in the C/D fader holds.
• The cue number field is ignored, but must be included if a
list entry is sent.
