•MSC allows you to control your Playback from a lighting console or similar hardware with MSC integration.

•Transmit MSC messages out of VERTEX to control other MSC enabled rigs.

 

 

1.Go to Library > Devices and use the search filter to find all MIDI related devices.

2.Add a MIDI In device to your project.

3.Inspect the new device and pick the MIDI device (and its corresponding MIDI port/ cable) connected to your system from the  drop-down.

 

 

 

 

4.Go to Project Explorer and inspect the Playback that needs to be controlled by MSC.

5.Go to the tab with MIDI Show Control settings.

6.Add your new MIDI In device either per drag and drop or from the context menu (right-click)

 

Further possible settings are:

•enable/ disable MSC for this particular playback.

•determine if only specific MSC Command Formats should be received (Lighting, Video, Pyro etc).

•set a MSC framerate

•enable execution of MSC Scripts

If you would like to use VERTEX for transmitting MSC or any SysEx Message you can add a MIDI Output device (Library > Devices > MIDI Out) and use scripts like these ones:
