Chapter 22: Events (Automation)
This chapter shows you how to use the events of the PRO1’s automation.
About events
There are four types of event — MIDI, GPIO, internal and crossfade — that you can
have in a scene, and you can have any combination of each. You can choose whether
the event is triggered on the PRO1 or on an external device.
For more information on events and also how to create, edit and copy/paste an event,
see “Additional control — managing events” on page 82.
MIDI
MIDI performs two functions on the PRO1. It allows the PRO1 to trigger external
MIDI-equipped equipment on each scene change and it also allows external MIDI
equipment to trigger a PRO1 scene change.
MIDI output from the PRO1 can include a globally-enabled outgoing message that
contains the recalled scene number and is sent out for all recalled scenes. Also, up to
eight messages with user-selectable content are stored per scene and sent out
whenever the scene is recalled.
MIDI input can be globally set up to cause scenes to be recalled when specific incoming
MIDI messages are encountered.
GPIO
The general purpose input and output (GPIO) on the PRO1 is used to control/respond to
various devices. You can use GPIO inputs to control PRO1 parameters from an external
device, for example, you can use an external switch to switch the PRO1’s talkback
on/off or you can use an external switch or joystick to control the PRO1’s parameters.
You can also use the PRO1’s keys and faders to send control signals to an external
device.
Internal
You can create an event on the PRO1 without using an external device; this type of
event is called an “internal” event. This means that an event is triggered and carried
out entirely on the PRO1.
Crossfades
For information on crossfades, see Chapter 23 "Crossfades (Automation)" on page 207.
