System Events (MIDI Show Control)

System commands allow you to specify specific MIDI Show Control messages that can be received and interpreted by the console. While any MIDI Show Control command that matches the configured Device ID will be executed normally, this type of event setup allows you to respond to messages sent to different device IDs, or take additional actions based on a show control command.

The MIDI data that is expected to be received is shown in the CIA and changes as you select event parameters. When finished configuring the system event, press {OK} to store the event. Otherwise, press {Cancel} to undo the changes.
