MIDI Control

Previous Top Next


Starting with version 3.7.3, Cue Player has the ability to be controlled by MIDI signals. These can come from light board consoles or microphone control programs like Palladium. Cue Player works in what is called "non-linear" mode, where cues are selected as they are played.

The MIDI commands are as follows, where n is the MIDI small device number and TT is the track or cue line number from Cue Player:


            Emergency Stop - Bn.7B.00

            Play - 9n.TT.00

            Pause - 8n.TT.00

            GoTo - Cn.TT

            Stop - 8n.TT.01


Here is a screen shot of the Palladium setup:

Use the "Set MIDI Input Port" Options menu selection to set the port. You will need to edit the cueplayer.ini file if you need to change the channel number (device 1) from 0.


MIDI commands to be sent have the format "xn.xx.xx" with values per your end device.


The program LloopBeMon may be useful if running a control program and Cue Player on the same computer. It virtualizes a MIDI connection.
