MIDI Notes
A MIDI signal can be connected to your console using 5 pin DIN connectors, inserted into the MIDI Input port. There is
also a MIDI Thru port, which can be used for daisy chaining other MIDI devices in your system. ZerOS does not
support MIDI over USB protocols, and therefore to connect to software packages you may need a USB to MIDI
interface box.
The Zero 88 team use the
MOTU FastLane USB MIDI interface
for testing and demonstrations using
.
ZerOS supports the MIDI Notes protocol input. In the Triggers tab of
Setup, you can define whether these Note commands
trigger Channels, Cues or Playbacks.
After choosing Channels, Cues or Playbacks, select the MIDI Notes
Channel number. This is essentially your console's MIDI address, so
that if you have multiple devices listening to a MIDI Notes source, your
console can be unique.
You can then use a MIDI Notes source, to send a Note Number, and that Note's velocity. MIDI Notes sources could be
a software package running on a computer (with an appropriate USB to MIDI interface), or could be a MIDI button
bank, or MIDI keyboard.
Channels
MIDI Notes information controls channel levels which are mixed HTP with the channel outputs. Velocity information
from the Note-On commands is used to determine the fade up time, and velocity information from the Note-Off
commands is used to determine the fade down time. The Note Number controls the console fixture number. A Velocity
of 0 will not trigger the channel. A velocity of 1 will give a 5 second fade time to full, and as the velocity is increased,
this will shorten the fade time, until you reach a velocity of 127 which will Snap.
Cues
A MIDI Note On command, will trigger the same cue number as the note number. For example a MIDI Note On of
Note Number 10, will trigger cue 10. The playback used is the currently viewed/selected playback. Programmed Fade
times are used, and velocity information is ignored.
MIDI Notes only allows for whole note numbers. Therefore if you have point cues you wish to trigger, you will need to
renumber the cues in the playback. To do this hold SETUP and tap the playback's button, and from the settings
choose Advanced -> Renumber.
