SING

MIDI

The 2518 DMX Controller provides additional playback options when connected to a

MIDI device such as a keyboard, drum machine, or computer sound card. MIDI notes

and program changes can be used to call specific scenes, change banks, and to trigger

the next scene in the current bank. A particular MIDI code may be used either as a

trigger or to call a specific scene, but not both.

If you have several MIDI devices, response can be limited to a specific MIDI channel.

If no channel is selected, the controller responds to MIDI channels 1-16.

MIDI

DEVICE

Connect the device’s MIDI output to the controller’s MIDI input using a standard

MIDI cable. A standard MIDI cable consists of a shielded twisted-pair cable and 5-

pin DIN connectors wired pin 2 to pin 2, pin 4 to pin 4, and pin 5 to pin 5. The cable

shield is connected to pin 2. Pins 1 and 3 are not used. The cable may be up to 15

meters (50 feet) long.

SCENES

AND

TRIGGERS

A MIDI scene is a scene that is tied to a MIDI code so that it executes when the code

is generated. Any number of scenes may be MIDI scenes. The MIDI code must be

different for each scene.

When a MIDI scene is executed, the active bank changes to the bank containing the

scene. This provides a convenient way to switch banks remotely. For example, you

can use auto or music trigger to execute scenes and use MIDI scenes to change banks.

A MIDI trigger is a MIDI code that sends a trigger pulse each time it is executed. It is

not associated with any specific scene, but executes the next scene in the active bank.

Up to 2048 MIDI triggers can be created.
