way. The normal submaster Page Overlay rules apply - you must lower the

submaster on one page before you can output the same submaster on another page.

MIDI Notes – Velocity Sensing

Some MIDI instruments have this function. It enables the musician to control the

loudness of the music by playing notes and chords delicately for soft music or hard

for loud music. The MIDI signal that is transmitted by such instruments consists of a

Velocity in the range 0 to 127.

If the instrument does not have Velocity sensing, the Velocity is fixed by the

manufacturer, often at 63 rather than 127 so that the music that is being played is not

too loud.

MIDI Notes – Preset mode

The first note of any octave will drive channel 1, the second note of any octave will

drive channel 2 and so on. The velocity information is used to determine the fade

rate of a channel.

MIDI Notes – Run mode

The first note of any octave will drive submaster 1, the second note of any octave will

drive submaster 2 and so on. The velocity information is used to determine the fade

rate of the submaster.

MIDI Show Control

MIDI Show Control (MSC) operates in Run Mode only. Supported Commands to

control the memory stack are:

 GO

 STOP (Pause)

 RESUME (Un-pause)

 TIMED_GO (maximum fade time is 5 minutes)

 LOAD (Set next memory)

 RESET (Go first memory)

Cue number is mandatory for LOAD. Cue numbers are optional for GO, STOP,

RESUME and TIMED_GO. Commands are ignored if the cue number is invalid or is

not programmed on the desk. Any Cue list and Cue path numbers sent by the

controller are ignored by the desk.

The following supported commands control the overall output from the desk:

 ALL_OFF (Blackout ON)

 RESTORE (Blackout OFF)

The desk listens for MSC commands that have command_format 'Lighting' (0x01), or

'All-Types' (0x7F). The Device_ID 0-111 that the desk listens to for MSC commands

can be set using the <MIDI Setup> menu. The desk will also listen to the MSC

broadcast Device_ID (0x7F).
