xxxxxxx and yyyyyyy are the data bytes.
MIDI often works in "running status" mode. If a lot of the same type of
command is being sent (lots of note on's etc.) then the status byte can
be missed out. The receiver knows that if it doesn't get a status byte, it
just has to run with the last one it received.

13.2.2 MIDI commands used by the DLC-C003

The DLC-C003 uses standard MIDI commands. The usual name for
these is given in italics. All commands are given in hexadecimal
notation ($9n), where 'n' is the MIDI channel number. So a note on
command for MIDI channel 3 for example would be $92.
Set playback page : program change ($Cn xx)

example
Turn on a playback: note on ($9n pp ll)
Note number (pp) = playback number, from 0 - 14 (decimal)
Key velocity (ll) = playback level, from 0 - 127 (decimal). 127=Full
example $9n $03 $40
(Note that Playback Fader numbers start at zero, so subtract one from
the number on the console to get the MIDI note number).
To Turn Off a playback, send a note on command with velocity=0. The
DLC-C003 does not recognise MIDI note off ($8n) commands.
Stop/run/step a chase etc: after touch ($An pp cc)
Note number (pp) = playback number, from 0 - 19 (decimal)
Aftertouch value (cc) = control codes:

13.2.3 MIDI Time Code

MIDI time code is used to synchronise Script Files with an external
music track.
Quarter-frame message types are fully supported and these follow the
standard format, which can be found in most MIDI handbooks. A
suitable EBU/LTC Timecode to Midi Timecode converter is manufactured
by JC Cooper Electronics whose address is 12500 Beatrice Street, Los
Angeles CA 90066 USA, or through DORTRON's UK.

13.2.4 MIDI Problems

The console supports a full MIDI data rate burst for 2 seconds, after
that data may be lost since it cannot be processed.
