MIDI IN FUNCTION (CONTROLLED BY EXTERNAL MIDI CONTROLLER)
Up to 64 scenes can be controlled by MIDI-controllers and sequencers, perfect for musicians.
The Scenemaster should be set in “MIDI RECEIVE” mode: press the SCENE/MANUAL-button (4) and
DISPLAY MODE-button (6) together.
In “MIDI RECEIVE” mode:

The display shows “MId” to indicate that the receive mode is active.

The Scenemaster does NOT send any MIDI-commands, it only listens to incomings MIDI-data.

Except for the BLACKOUT button (9) pressing buttons and moving faders has no effect.
Only the BLACKOUT-button (9) is still active:

Press the BLACKOUT-button shortly: DMX-output goes in blackout but scenes are still active.

Press the BLACKOUT-button for 2 seconds: all scenes are switched off. (in case something goes wrong
in the MIDI-communication)

HOW TO USE - AS MIDI-CONTROLLER
If needed, updating the firmware in the Scenemaster is easy, just follow these steps:

Surf to the Scenemaster product page on our website (www.jbsystems.be) to check if new firmware is
available in the download section.

Download the file and unzip it: now you have a file named “SCM-1.SUP”

Put this file in a directory on your PC.

Connect the Scenemaster to one of the USB-inputs of your PC.

Turn the power of the Scenemaster OFF.

Press the “FLASH-button of channel 16” and the “PROGRAM-button” (8) together while you switch the
Scenemaster back on, you will notice 2 things:

The display on the Scenemaster shows “USb”

A new window, with directory named “SCENEMASTER” opens on your PC-screen.

This “SCENEMASTER” directory contains a file named “SCM-1.SUP”:

First delete the current file from the “SCENEMASTER” directory.

Now copy the new “SCM-1.SUP” file (downloaded from our website) in the directory.

Use the power switch (14) to switch the Scenemaster off.

After 5 seconds turn the unit back on: at startup the display will show the new software version.
Important remark: do NOT switch the Scenemaster off while no new file was copied to the
“SCENEMASTER” directory, this will make the Scenemaster inoperable.
