380 Hog 4 Operations Manual
21.1 MIDI Show Control
MIDI Show Control (MSC) is supported on all consoles in the Hog family including Hog 4 PC
and can be used to send & receive basic playback control messages to and from third party
show control devices. This section will cover how to connect and configure MSC devices on
the console.
21.1.1 Mapping and Enabling MSC Devices
To map and enable a MSC device for Input/Output:
1. Connect the output end of a third party MSC device to the "MIDI In" port on the back of
the console and/or the input end of a third party MSC device to the "MIDI Out" port of
the console. If you are using an external USB MIDI device such as a USB keyboard or
an external USB MIDI Widget to send/receive MSC then connect the external USB
MIDI device to one of the USB ports on the console. Please note that only generic
"USB MIDI Class" devices are supported. Any USB MIDI devices that require
proprietary drivers may work with Hog 4 PC as long as the specific driver is installed on
the Windows machine but these types of USB devices that require specific drivers will
not work with Hog 4 OS consoles.

Settin gs button.

to the far right of the index, then select a MIDI device from the device drop down menu
and press Apply. (On Hog 4, Hog 4-18, and Full Boar 4 consoles the built-in MIDI
device will be listed as "LTCMIDI.")
