Clarification on Show Control CSV Import/Export – Sub Actions & Velocity Thresholds

I’m working on a MIDI-to-sub triggering setup in Eos and wanted to ask for clarification on a few behaviors I’ve run into while importing and exporting show control data via CSV. I don’t think what I’m seeing is a bug — I suspect these behaviors are by design — but I’d love to know if I’m missing something or if there are extra columns or formats that aren’t well-documented.


Submaster Actions: On / Off / Bump

When I import or export a show control CSV, I can reference Sub 1, Sub 2, etc. in the ACTION column — but the action always seems to default to a bump.

Even if the original show control entry was explicitly set to Sub On or Sub Off, the exported CSV just shows Sub 1, and when I re-import, it doesn’t restore the original action — it assumes bump behavior.

  • Is there currently a way to specify Sub On or Sub Off in the CSV?

  • Is there an additional column I should be including that defines the sub action more precisely?


Velocity, Thresholds, and “Threshold at 0 = Disabled”

In the Eos GUI, I can configure:

  • Velocity

  • Velocity Threshold

  • Threshold at 0 = Disabled (the checkbox)

But when exporting to CSV:

  • I only see the velocity (as part of the TRIGGER string — e.g., MIDI: 9N 3C 7F)

  • I don’t see any column that maps to Velocity Threshold or the Threshold at 0 checkbox

  • When importing, there’s no obvious way to define those fields either

So I’m wondering:

  • Are there columns I’m not seeing in the export that can be added manually to control Velocity Threshold or Threshold at 0?

  • Or are these parameters simply not accessible via import/export at this time?


To sum up, I’m trying to understand:

  • Whether submaster actions (on/off/bump) can be explicitly defined via CSV

  • Whether velocity threshold settings and the “threshold at 0 = disabled” behavior can be configured in a CSV import

  • And if any of these are possible, what column headers or formats I should be using

Thanks in advance for any insight.
