MIDI Messages

In Cue Manager, when MIDI is enabled, we listen for incoming MIDI messages from a device or send MIDI messages out to a device. These messages are based on the standard MIDI protocol and look something like this:

144,127,0

There are 3 parts to this message, which are separated by commas. The status byte, data byte 1, and data byte 2. The status byte typically tells us the type of command that was sent, while data bytes 1 and 2 are typically note number and velocity, respectively. Sometimes however, the data bytes can be used for other things such as program change, control change, pitch bend, and key pressure. You can view a comprehensive table of MIDI messages we support from directly within the Cue Manager App here: MIDI Reference (app.cuemanager.com).
