12.1 Using the External Instrument Device
In order to play and hear your instruments, you will need to have an
armed MIDI track with an External Instrument device, as well as
properly configured MIDI and audio inputs and outputs.
First, connect your instrument to Push using either the MIDI In and Out
ports or the USB-A port.
Push’s MIDI In and Out ports are already configured to receive and
send MIDI notes. If your instrument is connected to the USB-A port,
make sure that the corresponding Input and Output ports are
configured correctly in the MIDI tab of Push’s Setup Menu.
To do this, press the Setup button and then press the MIDI tab. You can
use the encoder above I/O to switch between the Input and Output
ports. You will also see the following MIDI port options that can be
switched on or off using the corresponding upper display buttons:
Track, Remote, Sync and MPE (Input only).
Track
– allows Push to send or receive MIDI notes and MIDI CC
messages. Enable Track for the port’s Input and Output so that Push
can send and receive MIDI data to and from your instrument.
Sync
– allows Push to send MIDI Clock. Enable Sync for the port’s
Output to synchronize an external sequencer, drum machine or groove
box to Push using MIDI Clock.
Remote
– allows remote control access for a MIDI controller.
MPE
– allows Push to receive MPE data from MPE-capable devices.
