MagicQ User Manual 275 Version 1.4.9.0
33 Using MIDI/SMPTE on MagicQ
The MagicQ console and MagicQ PC software supports the use of MIDI / SMPTE via the MagicQ MIDI /
SMPTE interface.
Note that the only MagicQ support is through the MagicQ MIDI/SMPTE interface. MIDI/SMPTE
directly through PC MIDI interfaces or through the phone (rca) interfaces on the consoles is not supported.
33.1 MIDI Support
MagicQ supports MIDI via the MagicQ MIDI/SMPTE interface. MagicQ can generate and receive MIDI
commands. MIDI is configured in the Setup Window, View Settings view, MIDI/Timecode tab.
33.1.1 MIDI Transmit
To transmit a MIDI command, first set the MIDI Out Type in the Setup Window. You can choose
between “None”, “Any chan” and “Requested Chan”. When set to “Requested Chan” the requested
channel is configured in the MIDI Out Chan field.
When set to “Any chan” MagicQ will send out any MIDI commands specified in the Cue Stack macro
field regardless of the channel specified. When set to “Requested Chan” MagicQ will always change the
MIDI commands before transmission to be sent on the requested MIDI channel
