Catalyst Manual - Cal Stage

CHAPTER 18
Presets
Different control platforms, particularly lighting desks, implement Midi Show Control in
different ways. Catalyst allows any platform that supports Midi Show Control to trigger
presets. Please see your control platform documentation to further details on how Midi
Show Control has been implemented.
Wholehog II OS (Echelon, Jands Hog, Hog 500, Hog 1000 and Wholehog II), and
Wholehog III OS (iPC, Hog III PC, Wholehog III) send cue and cuelist information in Midi
Show Control strings sent from these consoles.
To set up Catalyst to use Midi Show Control, open the Catalyst Control window and scroll
down to the Midi Show Control Section:
Click on No Input to select a suitable Midi device. If a suitable device driver is installed on
the system, Catalyst will be able to use it.
Once you have selected a suitable device, you will need to set a Midi Show Control device
ID. Click on the box next to ID to do this. You will need to send this ID in the MSC string
to trigger presets. MSC controllers, and many lighting controllers allow you to set the
device ID.
Note: Make sure the device sending the MSC commands is sending the correct
device ID.
