A MIDI "IN" DIN socket, a MIDI "THRU" DIN socket and a MIDI Channel select DIL switch are provided on the back
panel. Functional from software version "MASTERPIECE MAIN No.1.6" together with "DMX/MIDI V1.2" EPROM,
this socket, in effect, allows you to press a number of front panel keys remotely from a MIDI keyboard or sequencer.
Thus you can do anything from putting on a single lighting channel to triggering a complete lightshow via MIDI.
From software version "MASTERPIECE MAIN No.1.8", access is also available to Scene Keyboards S10 and S11
and Scene Chase Keyboard C3.

Notes:
E.G. E.2.-7 = Environment Keyboard No.2, Keyboard Key No.7.
The Keyboards driven by the MIDI signal may be in Flash, Swap or Solo, but Latch, which toggles with each press,
should be used with caution as it is possible to lose track of whether a key is off or on.
The MIDI transmission system sends:
1) A Status Byte containing information such as MIDI Channel Number, Note On or Off etc.
2) The number of the note 0-127 - see table above, middle C is usually Note Number 60.
3) The Velocity at which the key was struck 0-127. Velocity >= 64 is taken as ON and < 64 as OFF.
A Note Off Status Byte also turns the lights off.
MIDI Channel selector switch on the back panel - the MIDI Channel selected is the SUM of the switches selected eg.
to select Channel 5 put up switches 1+4, to select Channel 15 put up switches 1+2+4+8. Note - Channel 16 is
selected by putting all the switches down (off).
Two other switches are provided marked Velocity and Omni or use Note Off information but these been found to be
unnecessary and therefore have no effect.
