How do you play a MIDI file as a control send

[Pochflyboy]

My pyrotechnics system runs off of MIDI note on messages. I have shows that are programmed to music and saved as a .mid (MIDI file). How do I play these so that they send out on the MIDI control send device? I thought this was in SCS10 but can't find it in SCS11 or find information on it.

Specific info on this seems to have get left out of the Help file, but what you need to do is this:

• In Production Properties (in the Editor) select Devices / Control Send Devices and set up your required MIDI Out device.
• Then add a Control Send cue and set the Message Type to MIDI File. Click the Browse button (...) to locate the MIDI file.

Well I looked right over it. I thought I had read something about it being moved to the midi cues. Thanks a million Mike.
