MIDI Data

You can send an arbitrary data string on the console MIDI port, or through MIDI on a Net3 Gateway.
In an Action, this data is started with the word MIDI followed by port, comma and data.
RULES
When specifying data for a MIDI port trigger or Action, you enter the string with hexadecimal values.
Group number (group 0 is the local console) followed by a comma.
The data bytes are separated by a space character.
A hex byte is always written as two hexadecimal characters (like 7E) followed by a space.
Basically any type of MIDI message can be sent from an Action Macro. Note On, Note Off,
Program Change and System Exclusive (including Midi Show Control) messages are most
frequently used.
Examples
MIDI 0, 90 24 40 sends a Note On message to the console output on Channel 1 for note 24 (36 in
decimal) with a velocity of 40 (64 in decimal)
MIDI 1, 80 24 00 sends a Note Off message on group 1 in a Net3 Gateway on Channel 1 for note 24.
More examples for the local console port
MIDI 0, F0 7F 01 02 01 01 F7 sends a Midi Show Control (System Exclusive) command: GO
MIDI 0, F0 7F 01 02 01 01 31 30 F7 sends a Midi Show Control (System Exclusive) command:
GOTO Cue 10
MIDI 0, C0 10 sends a Program Change message (on channel 1) for program 10 (16 in decimal)

UDP data

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a communications protocol where messages are exchanged between
computers in a network that uses the Internet Protocol (IP). UDP is an alternative to the Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) and, together with IP, is sometimes referred to as UDP/IP.
