21.2 MIDI Note and CC Input
MIDI Notes and MIDI Control Change Messages (CC) are part of the MIDI standard that can
be used to control console features such as front panel keys, faders, screen soft keys, and
comment macros.
21.2.1 Enabling MIDI Note and Controller Message
To enable MIDI note and controller message input for the console:
1. Connect the output end of a third party MIDI device to the "MIDI In" port on the back of
the console. If you are using an external USB MIDI device such as a USB keyboard or
an external USB MIDI Widget to receive MIDI then connect the external USB MIDI
device to one of the USB ports on your 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.
2. Open the Network window. [Setup → Network]
3. Select a console from the list of devices in the network window and then press the
Settin gs button.
4. Select the MIDI Config ura tion tab of the Console Settings Window.
5. Map a MIDI device to one of the listed indexes by pressing the blue plus button located
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".)
6.
Press the config button located to the right of the device mapping to open the
MIDI Options window.
7. In the MIDI Options window enable the No tes In option. This enables both MIDI Note
and Controller Change message input.
8. Use the Map drop down menu to assign a MIDI Map to the index. If no MIDI Maps are
available then use the MIDI Map Editor described in MIDI Map Editor to create a MIDI
Map. Click O K.
Tip: MIDI device index mappings are stored on the console while MIDI Options are stored
in the show file.
