Your DMX controller wants you to send MIDI Notes messages on channel 16 to trigger those actions. I would have labeled the headings on that chart "Action," "Note Number" and "Note Name."

To send MIDI Note messages, you can can enter a string of hex data like the following into the Raw MIDI field of a MIDI preset:

9F 1D 7F
8F 1D 7F

The middle byte in each line, 1D, is 29 in hexadecimal. You would change that byte to the number for the cue that you want. You can use this website to convert from decimal numbers (29-127) to hexadecimal:

Yes, and 7F is the maximum velocity.
