The MIDICON PRO is a general purpose MIDI control desk designed to work
alongside the Elation lighting software packages or any lighting software that will
accept MIDI control. Key features include:
(9) Motorized Faders with Touch Sensitive Knobs
(4) Large Backlit Jog Wheels with Push-In Selection
(112) Backlit Keyboard Style Button Keys
(2) Standard MIDI 5pin Ports
(1) USB 2.0 "B" Type Port
The USB interface is compatible with operating system class drivers so that no special
driver is needed on the host PC or Mac. When you connect via USB for the first time,
your PC will automatically assign the MIDI driver that is included with your operating
™
system. It will work with both Windows and Apple. The MIDICON PRO uses standard
MIDI messages to communicate with your software. At the end of this manual are
tables showing the default MIDI messages assigned to the buttons and faders. You
™
can also create your own MIDI map for the MIDICON PRO controls using mapping
software available from Elation. Some lighting software programs will support the
MIDICON PRO ™ as plug and play without any need for special setup other than
selecting the MIDICON PRO ™ as the default MIDI controller. Consult your lighting
software's manual for more information.
