MagicQ User Manual 276 Version 1.4.9.0
MIDI commands are entered in decimal in the Macro field of the Cue Stack Window (page right) using
the ‘N’ macro command. It is possible to over-ride the channel specified in the MIDI commands using the
MIDI Out Channel in the Setup Window.
MIDI note commands are 3 bytes long, consisting of the command (note on / note off) byte, followed by
the note and then the velocity
<note on/off> <note> <velocity>
For example, to send a note for middle C set the macro field to the following:
N144,60,127 // Note 60 on velocity 127
N128,60,0 // Note 60 off
MagicQ accepts both ‘N’ and ‘n’ to specify MIDI commands.
