8.2 MIDI Functions
The course of a lighting show can be recorded to a MIDI Sequencer and
played back later on.
MIDI can also be used to link more than two desks by using the MIDI
THRU connector. Compared to the real Master-Slave operation (see 8.1)
there are some limitations on using MIDI.
Recording a show to a MIDI Sequencer:
Selection of the MIDI channel. MIDI IN has to be switched on. 2. MIDI IN
3.
Start the Sequencer.
During playback it is still possible to use the memories or channels of the
board. When using the chaser or X-fade section the manual operation will
overwrite and cancel the MIDI controlled program (Chaser ON or GO LED
is flashing as long as MIDI uses the according section). During MIDI
playback programming is locked. For the exact format of used MIDI com-
mands see the following list.

Because of the limited speed of the MIDI protocol there are some restric-
tions to the use of the desk while sending MIDI data;
- Single channels are not recorded on MIDI.
- The X-fade can only be used in automatic mode on timed sequences and
times can not be changed on-line.
MIDI OUT of the Lightcommander has to be connected to the Sequencer
input.
