Virtuoso has two options that must be defined before using MSC:
• The MIDI ID is the device ID of the external device. This value can be defined as
anything from 0-126. The system will accept an incoming value of 127 for an "All
Call". The MIDI ID default is zero. The MIDI ID of the console must match the
external device ID at the MIDI show controller.
• The "Go #" Action selection, allows you to define if the "Go #" Action will take
place for a Submaster or for a Board Cue.
To setup show control settings:
Step 1. Select Settings from the Setup menu.
Step 2. At Show Control box, input MIDI ID (0-126). Refer to
external controller.
Step 3. Select Sub 1 or Board Cue from the "Go #" Action.
