PAGE CONTROLS
There are 2 separate sets of page control buttons, one for the Playback Faders and
another for the Matrix buttons. Paging essentially gives you additional virtual sets of
faders and matrix buttons to work with. Paging can be controlled by your lighting
software or by the MIDICON-2™ controller via MIDI channel paging. If your software
can control the paging you can have up to 99 pages to work with.
When the MIDICON-2™ is set to control the paging (using the Elation MIDICON-2™
mapper software), it provides you 16 pages to work with by transmitting and
receiving MIDI messages on 16 separate MIDI channels. By changing the MIDI
channel when the page is changed, your lighting software will essentially treat each
page as a separate set of controls on separate MIDI channels. The current page
number will be the MIDI channel that is currently in use for the playbacks or the
matrix buttons.
NOTE: MIDI channel paging is disabled on the default factory map. When creating
your own MIDI map, you can enable paging from Elation MIDICON-2™ mapper
software. Refer to the section on Custom MIDI Maps for more details.
