Using this manual
To use this manual, simply select the type of command you are looking for, located in the
tables that make up the following pages, then look at the corresponding command string. In
each case you will need to insert the proper characters in the string to complete the Command
String. Example: in the string ‘aa002?0080dd! ‘[which is an increase fader string] you will
need to provide pseudohex character for the aa and dd parameters. The following table
explains the characters you will need to define:
Characters Definition
aa Channel Number
bb Preset Number
cc Button Number
