DIRECTOR USER MANUAL

MIDI OPERATION

Playback Using Triggers

Scenes can be played back using MIDI triggers. Director allows three basic trigger types:

+

MIDI Show Control (GO)

+

MIDI Control Change (CC)

+

MIDI Note (NT)

A drop-down menu, available at the Scene List trigger field, provides options for MIDI playback.

Options:

+

MIDI Show Control: GO - If the scene has a number at the start of its name, then this
option can be used as a trigger. For example, if the cue name is "1.0 Start Blackout," then the command "GO 1"
will be triggered.

+

Latest Received MIDI Show Control - If a show control GO cue # command has been received, then this option
will be available in the menu. (If not, the option will be grayed out by default.) When selected, this will initiate a GO
command for the last received cue number.

+

Latest Received MIDI Control Change - Same as the above option, except this will initiate a control change
command for the last received control change number.

+

Latest Received MIDI Note On - Same as the above two options, except this will initiate a MIDI note command
for the last received note number.

+

MIDI Show Control Cue: GO - Allows for an arbitrary show control command. When selected, GO will be entered
into the trigger column. Using the keyboard, enter the desired cue number after the GO prefix. Director supports
the following cue number format: ####.## or [1-9999].[01-99]. (This format is the same as the PRG Vx76 console.)
For example, "GO 2.5."
