Control Change Events

Edward Updated by Edward

The “Control Change Events” tab allows you to set up NEO to respond to control change events.

Submaster & Shortcut Channel # - Set this option to determine the channel number that will be listened to for control change events.

 

Submaster Device – MIDI devices can be used to control NEO submasters in the same way as the DMX input option. Low cost MIDI fader devices can be connected to provide this functionality. To activate this function, select the device from the combo box provided.

 

NEO will listen for “Control Change” messages and apply the received “Value 2” to the submaster defined by “Value 1”. To set the first control change identifying number, use the “First Control #” option to the right of the device selection box.  For example, setting First Control # to 21 would mean Control Change message 21 would control submaster 1, 22 would control submaster 2, etc.

 

Shortcut Device – The same function as above can be applied to shortcuts also. Select the device to listen to for control change messages and set the First Control # to correspond to shortcut 1 in NEO.

 

Send submaster change MIDI messages – If your device supports motorized faders, then NEO can send MIDI control messages back to the device to change the physical sliders. This is useful when changing the submaster page in NEO or if you make an on-screen change to a submaster. The physical sliders will move with the changes you make. If the device you are using does not support motorized faders then it is recommended to turn this option off.

 

Ignore shortcut messages except 127 – Some external MIDI devices send 2 messages for a button press, one message for down and one for up. This can trigger the shortcut twice and is undesirable. If you experience this problem, turn this option on to ignore all messages except those sending a “Value 2” of 127.

 

Wide Mode – Wide mode will map the maximum number of incoming MIDI control change messages to submasters.

 

Control Change mapping – Below the primary options is a grid that can be used to map control change message directly to shortcuts, commands, submasters or encoders. Use the Add button to create a new event listener and set the channel, device and control change number to listen for.

 

Use the action field to set what will happen when the CC message is received. The options for this field are Shortcut, Submaster, Command or Encoder.

 

As with the MIDI note message, the Import and Export options can be used to save and load the setting to and from a .CSV file.
