Zmacs MIDI control using a Matthews Futurist controller

Stage & Studio ZMACS
1

I have 4 heads/amps connected to 4 cabs using the Zmacs. And would
like to be able to use a MIDI controller to trigger every possible
combination of Amps to Cabs.

I’ve got a Matthews Futurist MIDI controller connected to the MIDI In
of the Zmacs. The Futurist has a MIDI In/Out jack. I’d like to control
the Zmacs via MIDI from the Live Room of my Studio while the Zmacs is
located in my Control Room.

I’m not sure if I’ve got the right kind of MIDI ‘controller’ that’ll
work with the Zmacs.

Not sure how to get a set of Amp/Cab configs stored in the Futurist so
I can use it to call the Zmacs.

Is there a table of PC and/or CC MIDI values available I can use to
know what commands to have the Futurist send to the Zmacs in order to
cycle thru every Amp/Cab combination? Or is the ‘Store’ function on
the Zmacs the only way?

The MIDI patches which are saved using the store button correspond the PC commands. The device does not react to any CC commands as this would interfere with the internal switching logic. I’d suggest to store all the combinations as presets.

Best regards,
