The 91 represents a “note on” command on channel 2. The 00 would call for note “C-2” with a velocity
of 7F. Ultratec equipment required the velocity data of (hex 7F) 127. If the data sent was “91 00 7F” a
controller set to channel 2 would load “cue 1”. The cue requested = the decimal value of the note + 1.
Cues 1 - 99 = (hex) 00 - 62.
The fire command is sent as note F# 8 this is hex 7E (126). For a controller on channel 2 the sequence
would be “91 7E 7F”. The fire command fires the active cue and causes the next sequential cue to
load. This would allow the user to fire the show without issuing “load cue” commands if the cues
were suquential. By using sequential firing; cues can be fired at a faster rate than the load - fire meth-
od.
