MIDI - MIDI Show Control
Congo supports sending and receiving of MIDI Show Control (MSC) commands. GO
and Pause/Resume are commands that Congo sends when MIDI Show Control is enabled in
the setup. GO, Stop, Resume and Set commands can be sent to Congo from other devices
to control playback actions.
Enable MSC and Device ID settings
In the Show Control setup there are parameters for turning MSC on/off and setting the
device ID. See
Play Settings - Show Control .
When MSC is enabled Congo both sends and can receive MSC commands. Device IDs 00-
7E (0-126 in decimal) are for individual receivers and Device ID 7F (127 in decimal) is meant
for all recievers. The default setting for Device ID is 1 (01 in hexadecimal).
Congo supports reception of the following MSC commands. All example command
strings are shown in hexadecimal values.
GO
Executes the next crossfade in the same way as pressing GO in the console. If GO is
pressed in the console, the number of the Preset is automatically transmitted as well. This is
sent automatically when GO is pressed and MSC is active.
Preset numbers in the GO command are encoded using ASCII and 2E is the decimal point.
For example preset 10 equals 31 30.
GO (Main Playback):
F0 7F 01 02 01 01 F7
GOTO preset 105:
F0 7F 01 02 01 01 31 30 35 F7
GOTO preset 86.4:
F0 7F 01 02 01 01 38 36 2E 34 F7
NOTE
MSC GO commands in Congo support only one decimal number.
Presets with more then one decimal number will not send an MSC GO
command and these presets cannot be triggered with MSC from
other sources.
STOP
Pauses the current crossfade. This is sent automatically when PAUSE is pressed and MSC
is active.
Stop/Pause (Main Playback):
F0 7F 01 02 01 02 F7
