MIDI Raw 27
MIDI Raw
Also known as MIDI Strings, MIDI Notes or Channelized Event Data, this is an output only function
from the console. MIDI Raw is most commonly used for communication between musical
instruments. However, as certain devices do exist that use MIDI Raw, the consoles can output MIDI
Raw to any device using a Show Control Gateway or local MIDI ports.
Strings are programmed either using the {Execute} function on a cue or using a macro.
Programming from Cues
Once the execute button is pushed the softkeys repaint and a {MIDI Raw} softkey becomes
available. Notes can either be input using Hexadecimal values or Decimal values depending on the
connected device. The console will default to hexadecimal format, to use decimal format simply
begin the MIDI string with “D”.
Sending a MIDI Raw String From a Cue
Select the cue that should be executing the string.
• [Cue] [1]
Press the {Execute} softkey.
• [Cue] [1] {Execute}
New softkeys will appear, press the {MIDI Raw} softkey.
• [Cue] [1] {Execute} {MIDI Raw}
Define the MIDI string, in this case we will use Hexadecimal.
• [Cue] [1] {Execute} {MIDI Raw} 0A 00 4B 00 [Enter]
Sending the same command as Decimal format.
Select the cue that should be executing the string.
• [Cue] [1]
Press the {Execute} softkey.
• [Cue] [1] {Execute}
New softkeys will appear, press the {MIDI Raw} softkey.
• [Cue] [1] {Execute} {MIDI Raw}
Define the MIDI string, in this case we will use decimal.
• [Cue] [1] {Execute} {MIDI Raw} D 10 0 75 0 [Enter]
Programming from Macros
A {MIDI Raw} softkey is available in the macro editor display. Any text entered after the string
command in the macro will be sent to all string interfaces when that macro is fired. Use the same
conventions as you would for programming a string through a cue.
