DIRECTOR USER MANUAL
+
Input Device
- Selects a MIDI device to "listen to." This preference should normally be set to "All MIDI Sources,"
but a specific device may be chosen if the external inputs need to be limited.
+
Output (Feedback)
- Selects a device where feedback will be sent. (This only works with devices that support
feedback such as MIDI controllers with motorized faders or LED indicators.)
+
MIDI Input Channels
- Allows specific channels to be enabled or disabled. (All channels are enabled by default.
To filter a channel, uncheck its box.)
+
MIDI Triggers
- Specifies which set of triggers to use. The default setting, "Playback/Scene Triggers only,"
specifies that Mbox Director will only listen to triggers that have been programmed in the Scenes table (refer to
on page 42). The other two options, "Trigger Selected Fixtures" and "Trigger
Specific Fixtures" are used to control individual parameters as defined by the MIDI mapping table at the bottom of
the window. "Trigger Selected Fixtures" is optimized for use with the Behringer BCF 2000 MIDI Controller, but
can also be used when controls are "learned" on other third-party controllers. "Trigger Specific Fixtures" is used
when you want to create a custom patch which controls a specific parameter of a specific fixture.
+
Mapping Table
- The table shows the mapping of triggers to parameters for the patched media server.
Important Guidelines:
+
The Scene List "Trigger" column and the trigger mapping table are merged. For example, if CC 34 is recalled from
the external MIDI device, then the scene would be recalled
and
the parameter would change.
