Note Velocity

The "Note Velocity" events can be used to directly control submasters within NEO. Click on the "Add" button to
create a new line in the list of velocity triggers. To remove a trigger click on the row you wish to remove and click on
the "Remove" button.
Description - This provides a way to identify the trigger by entering a description for your reference.
Channel - Identify the MIDI Channel to listen on (1-16)
Device - Device to listen to.
Note - This is an instrument note that the software will listen for and translate the velocity into a submaster value.
Submaster - Set the submaster number that will be applied when the note is received.
Import / Export - To help manage a large number of MIDI note triggers you can import this information from a
coma separated text file (csv). Click on each of these buttons to open a standard windows file dialog to select the file
you want to import or export. When choosing the import option a dialog will pop up asking you if you want to
remove existing entries before importing the new data.

Control Change Events

The "Control Change Events" tab allows you to setup NEO to respond to control change events.
Submaster & Shortcut Channel # - Set this option to determine the channel number that will be listened to for
control change events.
Submaster Device - MIDI devices can also be used to control NEO submasters in the same way as the DMX input
option. Low cost MIDI fader devices can be connected to provide this functionality. To activate this function select
the device from the combo box provided.
NEO will listen for "Control Change" messages and apply the received "Value 2" to the submaster defined by the
"Value 1". To set the first control change identifying number use the "First Control #" option to the right of the device
selection box.
When submaster's are changed in NEO the software will also send MIDI messages to the selected device to activate
motorized faders (if supported).
Shortcut Device - The same function as above can also be applied to shortcuts. Select the device to listen to for
control change messages and set the start message number to correspond to shortcut 1 in NEO.
Send submaster change MIDI messages - If your device supports motorized faders then NEO can send MIDI
control messages back to the device to change the physical slider. This is useful when changing the submaster page in
NEO or if you make an on-screen change to a submaster. The physical sliders will move with the change you make. If
the device you are using does not support motorized faders then it is recommended to turn this option off.
