MIDI Show Control (MSC) output
The dot2 can transmit MSC commands to a device. This can be used to control other devices (like sound
samplers). All the settings for this is found in
settings to match the MSC receiver.
The MSC data is transmitted from a standalone console or if you have a session, then it's the session master (the
console with the Blue Heart icon
Read more about the MSC concept below.
MIDI Time Code (MTC)
The console can receive MTC and use that to automatically run cues on executors.
The executor you want to be controlled by MTC needs to have "MIDI" selected in the
Then you need to have some cues in that executor that uses Timecode as the trigger. When Timecode is the
trigger, then you can set a time in the "Trig Time" column. When your incoming MTC reaches the time you have
set in the Trig Time column, then the cue is triggered. You don't need to have the cue as the next cue, it'll jump to
the cue that have the time that matches the incoming MTC. Just remember to have the fader up.
You can type the times manually or you can tap TC Record in the Cues view title bar. This will start a recording
function. Then you can do a normal Go to the Timecode cues and it will record the time into the Trig Time
column. You can also use the
active recording going on then you'll have a flashing red circle with a white "T" icon next to the Command line
input. There'll also be a flashing red circle in the Cues view and in the Executor Bar. You turn off the Record
function by tapping the TC Record again.
MTC can be enabled and disabled in the
incoming timecodes then you can't tap the TC Record button.
The incoming MTC can come into the system from any console/onPC in the session - not just the master.
The MSC Concept
The MSC command structure and syntax is based on the general SysEx structure defined by MMA (MIDI
Manufacturers Association). It was released in 1991 as an extension to the general MIDI.
The raw MIDI information is written in hex octets (two hexadecimal numbers). Different software manufacturers
might present the MSC in an interpreted way and show the data in a more human readable form. This can of
course be nice, but since we cannot describe every way this can be presented, this manual is looking at the raw
data.
