SmartFade 1248 Firmware?

Smartfade 1248: Can I control the lights via a Midi note with this board?

Yes - The MIDI spec is in the Manual.  RTM

stix, I can't seem to find that in the manual....

Its old (version 1.5)   I have a SFML and it has full midi spec in its manual which I think is the same as for 1248 so you could try that.   You can also connect to midi monitor software and move faders, bumps, GO, Stack etc to learn what is sent out when its a master.   Note: Memory faders only work - not channel faders.

Ok, I guess it doesn't help as the software I utilize sends music notes as midi signals. I feel absolutely lost... lol

Thanks for the information. I have downloaded Midi Monitor software.  I see the UM-ONE showing up in the monitor but the ETC SF 1248 isn't showing at all within the Monitor. I am using Snoize Midi Monitor.  Any idea? Thank you in advance stix.
