Midi In Assignment:
Setting The Console to Respond to MIDI Changes:
Setting Up a Midi Device:
MIDI Sysex Dumps:
The console settings can be accessed via the “AUTO” submenu after pressing the “System” button. This
submenu option is only available when in “SYS” Lock-Mode.
After selecting “AUTO”, there are two further sub-menus:
1. ENAB -(ENABle), this is the master switch for this function and can be set to “YES” or “NO”.
Toggling this switch will not delete the other setup parameters for this function.
2. SETP - (SETuP), this is where we set the actual midi parameters that are used for this function.
These parameters define the midi command that the console will respond to, and decode the required
act/scene number. The two parameters that can be set are as follows:
a. The midi command, this can be either of the following midi commands:
N ON - (Note ON)
NOFF - (Note OFF)
SNGP - (Song Pointer)
PRCH - (Program Change)
b. The MIDI channel, this covers the full 16 channels possible, the display shows CH 01 - CH 16.
Notes:
1. To respond to an external midi request to change the act/scene number, the following conditions must be
true:
a. The “AUTO - ENAB” menu setting must be set to “YES”.
b. The console must not be in “TOTL” (TOTaL) Lock-Mode.
c. The console use must not be performing any menu operations.
To cause the console to automatically change its act/scene, a MIDI command can be sent using the pre-
programmed command & channel (as set on the console). The actual act/scene number is encoded into the
MIDI command data that is sent.
The required MIDI command data can be constructed by setting the midi command parameters as follows:
Note ON/OFF : These MIDI commands have two parameters, as follows:
1. NOTE, this parameter is equivalent to the required “ACT” number.
Each note has a numerical equivalent (see table below)
2. Velocity, this parameter is equivalent to the required “SCENE” number.
Example: To program a change to ACT 20, SCENE 44, - Set the note to G#-1,
set velocity to 44.
Song Pointer - The command is a numerical
value and is equivalent to the combined “ACT” &
“SCENE” number.
Example: To programme a change to
ACT 45, SCENE 02, - set the value to 4502
