Using MIDI Show Control Messages
In addition to standard MIDI commands, the Encore sends and receives
specialized commands in MIDI Show Control (MSC) language. For MSC
messages to be recognized by the Encore, the transmitting MIDI device must
specify one of two MSC command formats:
?? Lighting - General Category (hexadecimal code 0x01)
?? All Types (hexadecimal code 0x7f)
The transmitting MIDI device ID must either match the device ID assigned to
the Encore, or must have an "All Types" device ID (hexadecimal code 0x7f).
MSC group IDs are not supported by the Encore.
The Encore supports cue numbers with one decimal digit to the right of the
decimal point. Any cue digits lower than the first decimal digit are ignored by
the console.
Transmission of MIDI Show Control (MSC) Messages. The
following Encore controls transmit specific MSC commands:
Encore Control Description of Transmitted MSC Command
GO Button
Transmits an MSC "Go Cue #" command if no cues are paused, or
transmits an MSC "Resume" command if there are paused cues.
[STOP/REV] Key Transmits an MSC "Stop" command if any cues are running, or transmits a
1 second "Timed Go" command if no cues are running. The "Timed Go"
command executes in conjunction with a "go to" command, which
executes the "Reverse" function of the [STOP/REV] key when no cues are
running.
[Go To Cue] Key Transmits an MSC "Timed Go" command, along with the specified cue and
fade time. An Encore Go To Link command executes an MSC "Go Cue #"
command.
Macro Keys Transmits an MSC "Fire Macro" command, along with the corresponding
macro number. The command is transmitted by pressing a macro key, but
is not transmitted by a macro within a cue.
