NOTES ON USING MIDI

To enable MIDI you must firstly setup COMMS in the SetUp menu. Note that the circuit board jumpers
are set for MIDI when the Power Cue DMX leaves the factory. Unless the unit has been subsequently
setup for RS232, no hardware adjustments are necessary. See page 20, SetUp COMMS.

Use option18 to enable ‘send keys as MIDI (see page 71) if you wish to use MIDI out.

The Power Cue DMX sends MIDI OUT only on MIDI channel 0.

The Power Cue DMX can receive MIDI IN on channels 0-15. To setup on which channel the Power Cue
DMX will receive, use option19. See Configuration options, page 70-71. To setup the Power Cue DMX
to receive on any MIDI channel (omni on), use option 20. See Configuration options, page 70-71.

The Power Cue DMX’s 64 output keys are used to send and receive MIDI. See the diagram opposite for
details of send and receive music and MIDI notes.

Outputting a MIDI note by pressing a key will activate that key on any Power Cue DMX receiving MIDI
IN on MIDI channel 0 (whatever the contents of the receiving key might be). It is therefore possible to
use multiple Power Cue DMX’s as a Master and Slaves.

Note that option 29, as described on page 70/71 allows you to offset the MIDI note map, i.e. the first
button on the QCommander does not have to be note 0.
