MIDI Show Control Messages (MSC)
For a full description of how MIDI Show Control works, we recommend reading the latest MIDI Show
Control Recommended Practice from the MIDI Association.
MSC messages contain a device ID and a format number. Make sure that you setup these numbers in the
window entry boxes correctly.
MSC has been implemented on the console to send “absolute” messages (ie, not depending on current cue
positions, arrangement of cuelists on masters, or keys being held). This means that the greatest playback
accuracy can be achieved, even if manual over-riding leads to cuelists being in the wrong place or out of
order.
The following is an implementation chart for seeing how console actions lead to transmitted MSC
commands:
Console Action MSC Command Data Description
Console actions which MSC commands can reproduce exactly:
Activate (go)
Open cue list 1B Q_list
Go Go 01 Q_number Q_list
Go - Skip Go 01 00 Q_list
Go - Resume Resume 03 Q_number Q_list
Goto Go 01 Q_number Q_list
Halt - Stop Stop 02 Q_number Q_list
Release Go Off 0B Q_number Q_list
Step Up St 11 Q_list
Step Down Standbye_- 12 Q_list
Page Change Open Cue Path 1D Q_path
Grand Master / DBO Set 06 FE 01 value
Rate Thruster Set 06 FF 01 value
Console actions which MSC commands can not reproduce exactly:
Move Fader (Choose button
held ignored)
Set 06 0..7 00 value
Halt - Back Standby - (no MSC
command for fade
backwards) 12 Q_list
Q_list is the cuelist decimal number
Q_number is the cue decimal number
Q_path is the page decimal number
Note: cues which are triggered automatically via wait times or follow do not cause an MSC command to be
sent.
The following is an implementation chart showing how received MSC Commands map onto console
actions:
MSC Command Data Description Console Action
For a command expecting a Q_list, if none is sent then the cuelist on the ‘selected’ master is
assumed.
Go
01 Q_number Q_list Goto cue
01 00 Q_list Press Go
Stop 02 Q_number Q_list Halt cuelist (cue ignored)
02 00 Q_list Halt cuelist

03 00 Q_list Resume cuelist (cue ignored)
Set 06 FE 01 value Grand master move
