Gilderfluke&Co Mp3-50 Audio & Show Controllers - Manual (Page 21)

alTime level control has been enabled on the
Mp3 Player.
The DMX/MIDI/Serial LED will be lit once MIDI is re-
ceived through this port. This LED will remain on for
approximately 10 seconds after the MIDI is removed
from the Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40. The Mp3-50/8 or
Mp3-50/40 will stop playing any shows from the on-
board flash memory as soon as valid MIDI signal is re-
ceived. It will not restart automatically if the MIDI sig-
nal is removed.
2) When ‘MIDI Notes Trigger Animation’ checkbox is ON,
then MIDI notes are used to directly access Animation
sequences stored in the flash on the Mp3-50/8 or
Mp3-50/40. These sequences in turn can access
audio files on the Mp3 Player, as well as controlling
the Show Control outputs. When operating in this
mode:
a) Any MIDI notes which are below the number
you have set for the ‘MIDI Offset’ are ignored.
b) The remaining notes are used to directly select
and play individual animation sequences stored
on the Show Control half of the Mp3-50/8 or
Mp3-50/40. These animation sequences can in
turn select and play audio files and control
audio levels on the Mp3 Player. Only ‘Note On’
commands are used to select and play animat-
ed shows when operating in this mode.
The DMX/MIDI/Serial LED will be flash for 1/10 sec-
ond each time a preprogrammed show is started by a
MIDI note. The Show Control side of the Mp3-50/8 or
Mp3-50/40 can still accept starts though the serial
port and four trigger inputs while operating in this
mode.
c) Net Serial: The Optoisolated/RS-422 switch on the bottom
of the Mp3-50 can be in either position. If feeding multiple
Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40, then the ‘RS-422’ position should
be used.
One big disadvantage of the RS-232 serial port on the
Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40 is that only one Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-
50/40 can be attached to the same serial port at the same
time. This is the unfortunate nature of a RS-232 port. If you
had a bunch of Mp3-50s in the same system, this could
