Moving Faders with MIDI Data Created Off Line
To produce smooth, continuous movement, the MCS must
receive a series of controller commands with consecutive, up-
counting or down-counting values with respect to time.
This becomes important should your software allow the
provision of recording events “off line.” You might wish to
manually enter these commands to produce a precise move.
For example,
MCS Receives MIDI Command Hex Representation
Controller #0 on Channel 14, value 0 $BD 00 00
Controller #0 on Channel 14, value 1 $BD 00 01
Controller #0 on Channel 14, value 2 $BD 00 02
Controller #0 on Channel 14, value 3 $BD 00 03
Controller #0 on Channel 14, value 4 $BD 00 04
Controller #0 on Channel 14, value 5 $BD 00 05
Controller #0 on Channel 14, value 6 $BD 00 06
Controller #0 on Channel 14, value 7 $BD 00 07
etc.
This will make fader 1 first jump to its lowest position, and
then start to move up. The time it takes to complete the move
is dependent upon the rate at which the data is received.
For example, to make the fader fade in over a period of 10
seconds, send 127 controller commands spaced at
approximately 1/12 second intervals.

To Assign a Transport or M Button
Since the Transports and the M buttons are Shift-able, first
check the state of the Shift button, before entering Assign
mode.
If you want to assign Play only, make sure Shift is off.
If you want to assign the command to be sent when Shift Play
is pressed, make sure Shift is on.
Press Assign to enter Assign mode. The yellow LED is lit.
After entering Assign mode, pressing a Transport or M Button
will select that control for editing.
At that point, the display “holds” the currently selected control.
If you change your mind and wish to edit a different control
instead, press Assign to exit assign mode. Press Assign again to
re-enter Assign mode and select a different control.
Use the LCD and rotary encoder knobs to edit the control.
Turn the right-most encoder knob to reveal additional editable
parameters.
After making the edit, press Enter on the Keypad to store the
changes to memory.
