Fader Output
Moving a fader sends a range of MIDI commands. Typically, this will be a controller or a note, with the controller or note number specified by the user.
(If the MCS is still in its initialized state, refer to the Initialized Settings section of the Technical Information chapter, page xx, for a detailed listing of commands and channels.)
Faders can be grouped to another fader. And any fader can be made a Grand Master for all the faders in all four Banks.
Fader Input
The fader motors move when the unit receives a MIDI command that is equivalent to the fader’s current assignment.
In other words, move a fader, and record the data that is output as a result of the fader movement. Play back that same data into the MCS, and the fader will automatically move to repeat the move you recorded.
For example, from the factory, Fader 1 in Bank 1 sends MIDI Controller #0 on MIDI Channel 14.
When your host system software sends MIDI Controller #0 on MIDI Channel 14 into the MCS Controller, the fader will move.
The position of the fader will be equal to the Controller value, which typically ranges from 0 to 127.
The faders will also “remember” their position for each Bank. Pressing the Bank button will cause the faders to move to their last position within the Bank.
