The playback section was designed to take advantage of the playback features in
most lighting software programs where a playback fader and some associated
buttons are used. There are FORWARD, REVERSE and BUMP buttons above each
playback fader. The function of each button will vary depending on the software
that you are using. The playback faders are touch sensitive and motorized.
A fader will typically send MIDI continuous controller messages to your software,
giving each fader a resolution of (128) steps. The fader will send a MIDI message
when it is touched and/or moved. Touching the fader knob will also override the
motor so that it can't move with your finger on the knob.
Your lighting software can control the position of the faders by sending back the
same MIDI continuous controller messages. If your software supports moving faders
and paging, it will keep track of and reposition the faders whenever a new
playback page is selected. If your software does not support moving faders, the
MIDICON PRO ™ can handle this for you. Please refer to the PAGE CONTROLS section
for more details.
