i'm using a new dmx controller and it wants specific information for selectin cues from 1-98. cue one is KEY#29 note value F1, cue two is Key 30 note f#1 and so on. unsure how to enter that in the preset making window. Help please ;)

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:

in those strings, what's the end 7f stand for? velocity?

Yes, and 7F is the maximum velocity.
