Use INSERT to insert a new line. Define the Trigger and Action string using the formats
described in Actions & Events - Actions. You can add a description as well (recommended)
Triggers for Events
An Event is a way to link a Trigger to an Action Macro. A Trigger can be serial communication
received on a COM or MIDI port of the console. Note that COM x,' and 'MIDI x,' are not required in
Triggers.
• Local Com-port - See Serial COM data
• Local MIDI-port - See MIDI
and Serial MIDI data
• Net3 I/O Node Com-port
• Net3 I/O Node Closure - You can specify the closure input (1-24) and if you want to trigger
on close of open state. Note: Closure input are using the analog inputs of the physical node
but has only two states, on and off.
• Net3 I/O Node Analog - You can specify an analog input (1-24), a trigger value and the
direction.
• Local Closure - You can define triggers and actions for the external trig inputs in the same
way as for Net3 I/O node closures.
If a trigger is defined for an input, the default action (Go, Pause, Go Back and Master 40)
won’t be carried out. See Connectors
Group Numbers
Using Group numbers, you can set up a system where Cobalt listens to several different I/O nodes (or
local ports) and reacts with different actions. Group 0 applies to local serial and MIDI ports, Group 1-
x applies to network ports and has to match the group configured in the node.
