Event List - Introduction

An Event is a combination of a Trigger and an Action Macro. An Action Macro can be
defined also directly in the step of a Sequence.

Action Macro
An Action Macro consists of a string of characters forming a line of commands. These
commands can be used to trigger internal actions (Go, Pause etc) or external devices (DVD
players, computers etc) with serial & MIDI commands

Trigger
A Trigger is used only to trigger an Action Macro. This can be done from the local Com or
MIDI ports, Closure or through a Net3 node.

Event
An Event is created when a Trigger is combined with an Action Macro.

NOTE
The COM port of Congo has to be activated to receive Triggers. See

System Settings - Com Port
