So if im reading the right
manual from the
strand sight this shouldnt be to hard, the first thing you have to do is go throught and set
midi in/out channles, this shouldnt be hard because you only have one device, just make sure the out on the keyboard is plugged into the in on the lightboard, and the set them so that the out
channel is the same as the in
channel, i didnt look but you ca set this somewhere in your prefrences, just read the
manual, shouldnt be hard to find.
Now for the fun part, if you have less
par cans then sub masters, you can use the default note on/off channels that just bump a sub master but the issue is that you have to use certain keys so it doesn't work well if your looking to
play a piece and have the lights go.
So now for what I find to be the easiest method for this type of stuff, this is going to require a couple of other things though, first your going to need a laptop or computer running windows, then your going to need to get a USB-Midi
adapter, there like $50,
yamaha makes the one that I use and I know m-audio also makes one. your also going to need to download Boone's
MIDI translator and Midi-OX is helpful to just Google the names to find the programs, they were both free last time I checked. Basically hook everything up the same in to out out to in, and assign
channel numbers, be sure to use 2 different ones on your computer, or else bad things happen.
I don't have time to give detailed instructions right now, but basically the
midi translator works as it takes and
midi input and converts it to either a keyboard stroke or to a different
MIDI command,( and this is where some basic programing knowledge and some knowledge of Hex is useful) if your not to good with those thing you can just hook the light boards out to the computers in and then use MIDI-OX because Midi-OX has am input and Output viewer so you can see whats commands are coming and going, so just push keys and right down what happens and then use that in the translator.
I probably wont have time post detailed instructions so if you have any questions just post them and ill try to answer them as they come.
