Sending MIDI strings
Comment Macro Syntax Example
MIDI String
M S [ n o d e t y p e ] [ n o d e
n u mb e r ] / [ M I D I m e s s a g e ]
M S h 1 / 9 0 4 7 3 F
Midi strings can be used to send System Exclusive Midi Messages or Midi Note Messages but
must be written using hex values (seeDecimal to Hex Conversion Chart). Listed below is a break
down of how a midi string comment macro would be formatted for sending a midi note: MSh1 -
indicates midi string will be sent from Hog Console with net number 1 [forward slash ] 9 - indicates
note on (8 indicates note off) 0 - midi channel number (0 in hex = 0 in decimal) [SPACE ] 47 - midi
note number (47 in hex = 71 in decimal) [SPACE ] 3F - velocity (3F in hex = 63 in decimal) A
simpler method for sending midi notes via comment macros is explained in the "sending midi notes"
section below.
Sending MIDI Notes
Comment Macro Syntax Example
MIDI Note M N [ r e f e r e n c e t o e n t r y ] M N G o L a s e r
In order to utilize midi note comment macros the user must first create entries in the "Midi Notes"
window which can be opened by holding the Open key on the front panel and selecting the "Midi
Notes" button on the open toolbar. Once a midi note message entry has been created in the Midi
Note Window it will appear in the comment macro drop down menu for cues, scenes, and pages. If
the details of a midi note entry are changed in the midi note window then any cues and scenes, or
pages referencing that entry will also be updated.
