Midi Out Setup - SoundCraft Vi1 User Manual

MIDI OUT Setup

The MIDI Out setup differs from MIDI In, in that instead of only 1 event for the Cue, there is an 'Events List'
per Cue of up to 20 events that can be transmitted.
Each of the events can be transmitted on any of the 16 MIDI channels on the MIDI OUT port.
{ON} key: enables/disables the transmission of the currently-selected MIDI event when the currently
selected Cue is recalled (separate value for each of the 20 events).
The ALL MIDI Out {ON} key in the Main Menu\MIDI page must also be enabled for messages to be
transmitted.
EVENT NUMBER encoder: Scrolls through the 20 available MIDI OUT events on each Cue, and allows the
Event parameters to be viewed or edited on the other VST encoders.
EVENT NUMBER sub-page key: Opens the Event List sub-page (see screenshot on page 15-19). Although
the 20 Events can be set up parameter-wise using the VST encoders, and scrolling the Event Number, the
Events List makes it easier to see a glance all 20 events, and view their parameters in a table format.
MSG TYPE encoder: Defines the type of MIDI Message being sent for the selected Event Number.
See Chapter 22 for Message types, how displayed, and whether used for RX, TX or both.
VALUE 1 encoder: Sets the Value 1 for the selected message type.
(Field name may change to reflect actual parameter type according to selected message type).
There are two special cases of the MSG Type parameter – MMC Locate and SysEx – which cannot be
accommodated by the Value 1 & 2 fields.
These two cases also result in the Channel parameter being replaced by a DEVICE ID, selected from the
global TX Device ID list in the Menu\MIDI page).
When the MMC Locate message type is selected, the Value 1 & 2 fields are replaced by 4 fields allowing
the Timecode value to be set.
When the SysEx message type is selected, the Value 1 field changes to include a sub-page key which
opens the QWERTY keyboard and allows the string to be entered in Hexadecimal format. When the string is
longer than the number of characters displayable in the VST field, it is abbreviated with '...' –see below.
CHANNEL encoder: Allows the MIDI 'transmit' channel for the currently selected Event Number to be set.
Value range is 'No Device', then OUT1:1-16 and OUT2:1-16, then 'Global', but the displayed value for
OUT1:1-16 and OUT2:1-16 is taken from the Device Name field of the MIDI Devices LIST in the Main
Menu\MIDI page.
The Devices list allows MIDI Channels to be mapped to a text name for easier identification of the devices
being selected.
