MIDI Sequences on Congo Jr

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if any of you had any tips and tricks for using MIDI on the Congo Jr.

So what we want to do is have a computer running Ableton Live trigger all the lighting during a show.

After much wrangling we managed to trigger presets, and that's it.

What I would like to learn is how we can trigger specific linear presets, and also how we can trigger specific sequences.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you

    If you want to remotely run the Main Playback, then MIDI Show Control (MSC) is often a good approach.

    This allows specific "Go To Cue X" commands to be sent over MIDI - in Congo, these are interpreted as Goto Preset X.

    - Note that MSC only supports one decimal place for Cue numbers, and I think you need to include the decimal place for whole number Presets.
    (Might be wrong, I haven't used MSC for ages.)

    For example, the MSC command "Goto Cue 1.0" will do a "1.0 [GOTO]" command on the Congo.

    Using MIDI Controllers to run the Master Faders is a very flexible way of remotely controlling a Congo.

    You can of course do both at the same time if that is useful.
