MIDI Seq:
This MIDI Channel is used to play notes into a sequence for recording. It can
also be used to play MIDI through to an external MIDI Device.
■ For a sequence in MIDI Mode, notes played on this channel will be recorded into the
selected sequence. They will also be passed through to the MIDI Out channel
mapped to that sequence. That lets you hear the instrument the MIDI sequence will
be playing as you record notes.
■ For a sequence in Keys Mode, notes on this channel will be recorded into the
selected sequence but not passed through to the MIDI Out. When you play back
the sequence, notes will be sent to the MIDI Out channel.
In Pads Mode, the MIDI Seq channel is not used for recording. We will cover how to do this
in
Pad Mode Recording Operations Using MIDI.
To Trigger Pad Hits and Sequences with MIDI
The Global In channel lets you trigger pads and sequences by playing particular notes on
that channel. When set to Omni, blackbox will respond to input on all MIDI channels, but
you can configure a specific channel by changing the value of the Global In parameter on
the Tools screen.
1.
Push
TOOLS
to display the Tools screen and select the
MIDI tab.
2.
Set the Global In parameter to the MIDI channel that
you want to use to trigger pads and sequences. Set
this to Omni to respond to all MIDI input channels that
have not been otherwise assigned.
3.
Connect your MIDI device to blackbox and configure it
to use the selected Global In MIDI channel.
4.
Play some notes on your MIDI device to trigger pads.
The table on the right
shows the default mapping of
MIDI note numbers to the blackbox pads. The range
for pads is Note 36 (usually C2) through Note 51 (usually
D#3/Eb3). You may need to shift your MIDI device up or
down octaves to reach these notes.
5.
Push
PADS
and you can watch the pads activate as
you play notes on your MIDI device.
6.
To customize which MIDI note plays a particular pad,
select that pad and press INFO twice to get to the Pad
Parameters screen. Touch the Conf tab and scroll down
to Pad Note, then dial in the precise note you want. To
return to the mapping described above, set Pad Note
to Default.
