The MIDI Menu

When receiving MIDI commands, an exterior instrument sending MIDI signals initiates
console operations. The exterior instrument can be a synthesizer or a PC with a music
program or any other device that communicates via MIDI.
MIDI transmission is often used to control other lighting consoles.
The MIDI In/Out menu, menu 23, offers the options of enabling or disabling all or part of
the input keys, output keys, input controllers, and output controllers. All the keys and
controllers are defined as note off, note on, or control change responsive. The default
MIDI codes can be edited.
