Gilderfluke&Co Mp3-50 Audio & Show Controllers - Manual (Page 113)

before this mode will work. Each time a show is
started, the DMX/MIDI/Serial LED fill flash for an
instant. Starting with the first MIDI note set by
the ‘Animation First Note Number:
a) The very first ‘Note’ will trigger the Show
Control side of the Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-
50/40 with a ‘whatever is next’ show re-
quest. The ‘Whatever is Next’ is set for
each show at the time the show files are
downloaded from PC•MACs.
b) Each note will trigger a specific animat-
ed show. Up to 127 shows can be ac-
cessed in this way.
c) Show numbers beyond the last show
loaded on the Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40
are ignored.
MIDI Channel Number: A MIDI data stream can be ad-
dressed to any of sixteen different addresses. These
are typically set to choose which ‘instrument’ the data
is being sent to. This sets which of these sixteen ad-
dresses the Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40 will be sent to.
Valid values are from 1 through 16. Potentially, up to
sixteen Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40 can be controlled on
the same MIDI line.
MIDI First Note Number: Legal MIDI notes are numbered
from 00h through 7Fh (0 through 127 in decimal
numbers). The only problem is that if you are actually
using a keyboard to access the Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-
50/40, no keyboards actually have all 128 keys. A
real
piano has only 88. ‘Middle C’ is located at 3Ch (or 60
in decimal numbers) on all MIDI keyboards. You can
count to the South and North of ‘Middle C’ to deter-
mine what numbers your keyboard will actually gener-
ate.
Numbers below the value you set for the ‘MIDI
Note Offset’ will be ignored. If you wanted to start ac-
cessing the features of the Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40
at ‘Middle C’, you would set this offset to 3Ch (or 60 in
decimal numbers).
Net Serial Mode: Turning this mode on disables DMX-512, MIDI
and IR Trigger input on the DMX-512/MIDI serial port. Data
