Upon starting such a macro a predefined MIDI command is being sent. For the available commands see http://www.richmondsounddesign.com/docs/midi-show-control-specification.pdf however it depends from the device/software which commands are supported.

The Go macro is an example:

• the message F0 7F 7F 02 01 01 F7 comprises of
  • F0 F7 ⇒ Universal Real Time SysEx
  • 7F ⇒ device ID. 7F is all devices
  • 02 ⇒ MIDI machine control command
  • 01 ⇒ command format; 01 = General Lighting
  • 01 ⇒ command (e.g. 01 = Go)
  • F7 ⇒ end of Universal Real Time SysEx message
• When editing know that all data is hexadecimal.
• Additional data (e.g. cue numbers) need to be hex-encoded ascii chars.
  • cue 1 = 31
  • cue 1.5 = 31 2E 35

1. make this macro available
2. for general information about using MIDI to control other devices see MMC - MIDI Machine Control
3. depending from your setup you might need to use virtual MIDI patchcords like LoopMIDI or rtpMidi, see Software List
4. sending out MIDI e.g. over USB or network is supported from Titan v13 on
