ION Midi Show Control

So I am looking for information on setting up an ION to send MSC commands from the console to a device. I am sure that it is possible, but the manual seems to focus more on Time Code control. I am just looking to trigger SFX or Q-Lab from the ION via MIDI, and in the Show Control record target screen all I see in information regarding time code.

I have not used MIDI for the ion, but I have triggered numerous shows with an Express through MIDI. I have found that it's actually easier to trigger the console from q-lab than the other way around.

I have heard that. But for a musical when the sound guy has his hands full mixing it would be better for us to use lights to trigger sounds. If anyone else is trying this, I just got these instructions for setting up SFX to receive MSC.
