# Time MIDI sender
Sends MIDI notes according to a file. Made for use with DasLight
## Setup in DasLight
First open dasLight and setup MIDI in the settings.
Then right-click on the scene you want to time trigger and select Shortcut>Edit midi-mapping
![Here is an image][img1]
A popup will appear. Select the options shown in the image below.

Then edit your points.dat (you can rename it). The syntax is easy: `time:yourNr.0/5` So `time` is the time in milliseconds counted from song start. yourNr is the "Amount" (or Anzahl in german). If you want to turn a scene on use `yourNr.0`, if you want to turn it off use `yourNr.5`. You can comment your code with #. When using #, you should be aware that `1500:60.5 # Test` will fail. Example file:
```
# Valid comment
1500:60.0
2500:60.5 # Invalid comment
```
This file will start the scene "60" and turn it off after one second.
## How to use config files
There are three attributes in a config file. The file should end with `*.conf`. All files(config, marker and music) **need** to be in the same folder. The folder needs to have the same name as the config and the makerfile (except for the file ending) Example file (when the file is called `myProject.conf`):
```
port:testLoopback 3
music:Eyes_of_Glory.mp3
marker:myProject.dat
```
`music` is your music file. `port` is your digital MIDI port. `marker` is your marker file.
