1
Open the Input Panel Window.
2
Press “Serial Out” to turn serial out on. It can be used in
conjunction with “Notes Out” or “MSC Out”.
3
Open the cuelist window, and move the cursor to the cue
which is to output the message.
4
Edit the comment box and type in a MIDI message as
described below.
This message will now be output whenever the cue is executed or on Step forward. On step backwards, the
MIDI message will be output provided midi_step_back = 1 in the moreopts.txt file (see chapter
Customising the Console).
Composing MIDI Messages
Use ‘/’ to indicate that the following comment is a MIDI message. Then type in the message numerically:
Any number preceded by a ‘.’ is decimal.
Any number preceded by a space or another two digit hex number is hex.
For example
/a0b0c0 outputs hex bytes a0, b0, c0.
/90.14.12 outputs hex 90 followed by decimal 14 and decimal 12
/90.14.12 90.5.6 outputs hex 90, decimal 14, 12, hex 90, decimal 5, 6.
Reference Table
The following table gives the structure of the more common MIDI messages. The status byte is given in
hexadecimal format and, for those messages which are channel specific, ‘n’ represents the channel number
(which can be between 0 and F hex).
Message Status (in Hex) Data 1 Data 2
Note off* 8n Note number Velocity
Note on 9n Note number Velocity
Polyphonic aftertouch An Note number Pressure
Controller Bn Controller number Value
Program change Cn Program number
Channel aftertouch Dn Pressure
Pitch wheel En Least Significant Byte Most Significant Byte
System exclusive (start) F0 Manufacturer’s code Data, (Data),……
System exclusive (end) F7
Timecode – Quarter Frame F1 Data
Realtime – Active sensing FE
Realtime – Timing Clock** F8
* A note on message with a velocity of 0 is defined as having the same meaning as note off.
** The console does not use this message and ignores it completely. All other messages received (and on a
channel the console is receiving if omni is not set) are shown in the Event Monitor window when it is open.
Example: a “note on” message on channel 1 for note #72 with velocity 64 would consist of 3 bytes, “90 47
3f” in hex. As a comment macro this would be “/90473f” or “/90.71.73”.
The channel numbers that appear in the input window, and the note and index values that
appear in midimap.txt are all one greater than the actual MIDI data. This is because the MIDI
values begin at zero rather than one.
MIDI Show Control and WYSIWYG Autofocus commands are achieved by means of system exclusive
messages.
