6.
Trigger the pad on the blackbox by touching the pad, or playing it in a sequence. Blackbox will now send
the note events from the configured pad to the MIDI device on the same MIDI channel.
Note:
• You can configure more than one sequence and pad to send MIDI out on the same channel.
•
Blackbox does not send out or pass through MIDI Program Change messages.
Use MIDI Notes to Play Slices
When you a Slicer pad responds to MIDI Notes, it plays individual slices within the WAV file.
To Use MIDI Notes to Play Slices:
1. Create a slicer pad and create 4 or more slices by either using the Scan feature or manually creating the
slices.
2. Set the following values for the pad parameters:
Parameter Value Explanation
LaunchMode Trigger This will cause the WAV slice to play from beginning to
end when a trigger is received. Other values will work,
but let’s use this for the example.
Loop Mode Off We will turn off looping for this example.
Slice 3 This doesn’t impact how the MIDI device or Keys screen
plays the slices.
MIDI Choose a MIDI
Channel not used by
other pads or the
GlobalMIDI setting. We want to see the difference between the default
MIDI behavior on the GlobalMIDI Channel and using
MIDI to trigger slices, so we need to use a separate
channel. MIDI notes received on the channel you
select here will choose a slice to play.
Slice Seq None We will not use the Slice Sequencer in this example.
3. Connect a MIDI device for input that uses the MIDI Channel you selected for the MIDI parameter. Play MIDI
note 36 (usually C2). You will hear that slice 1 is played.
4. Play MIDI Note 39 and slice 4 will be played. MIDI Notes 36 and up are now mapped to Slices 1 and up for
playback.
The steps above show a simple example of using MIDI alone to trigger different slices within one pad. You can use
this with Loop Mode ON with Launch Modes of Gate or Toggle to achieve different effects.
Synchronize Playback with a Clock
Blackbox can either run on its own internal clock or follow an external clock. It can also provide a clock signal for
other devices to follow.
