MIDI Notes and Timecode

The QuickQ 20, 30 and Rack support MIDI notes and MIDI timecode via the inbuilt MIDI port enabling users to control Playbacks from external software. MIDI is always enabled.

MIDI Timecode

When the console is receiving MIDI timecode it will display the incoming value on the top bar.

MIDI timecode can be enabled on individual playbacks by pressing Cue Stack Options and switching on Use MIDI Timecode. Once enabled timecode values can be inserted into the wait field by double tapping within the cell. The cue will now wait to read the defined time before activating.

MIDI Notes

Playbacks 1-10 can be controlled using MIDI notes sent on MIDI Channel 1. Various different commands are available. MIDI Notes 60-69 will turn on playbacks 1-10 with a note on command and will release the playback with a note off command. The velocity of the MIDI note on command will set the level of the playback with 127 being the maximum level. The Go and Pause buttons can also be controlled by MIDI. MIDI Notes 72-81 will press Go while notes 84-93 with press Pause. MIDI Notes 48-57 will jump to the cue indicated by the note velocity on the playback.
