10 - WORKING WITH MIDI
The MIDI protocol (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), it is a protocol created for the musical
instruments, but today is introduced in the world of the lighting and multimedia. The
synchronisation of the all show elements is possible with MIDI.
The basic configurations using TRITTON and its MIDI, are represented in this drawing:

The computer can be substituted with a MIDI sequencer. In this case the MIDI interfaces isn't
necessary.
The MIDI protocol permits us a time control very interesting, synchronising in a very accurate
mode, even advancing a lighting event to its music event (adjusting slow response of the lamps).
Permits us to accelerate/decelerate an event, to the same speed that the rest of the show (music,
smoke...). And above all permits that the musicians handle the lighting from a most familiar control
for them or that the illuminators start musical events from their lightboards.
The correspondence MIDI in the TRITTON console is:
MIDI Note = Console key.
MIDI Controller = Console fader.
There are not commands like Program Change, Pause, Play... or commands in real time like
"click"…
The Running Status is contemplated in this console, increasing the transmission speed.
