MIDI ETC Messages

SCS supports the control of cues using MIDI messages sent from an ETC Express lighting console using the AB Fader Pair or CD Fader Pair. Other devices or software that can send Program Change and/or Controller Change messages that match the information below can also use one of these ETC Control Methods. The formats are mapped to MIDI cue numbers as follows:
