4. MIDI FUNCTIONS

The module has extensive MIDI functions. The following MIDI commands can be used:

MIDI-CLOCK Start/Stop: 

Sequencer clocking

Note Numbers: 

Triggering the filter bands

Program Change: 

Selection of a sequence

Control Change: 

Controlling CURVES parameters

Sysex: 

Load sequence pattern, firmware update

4.1 Overview

Connect a computer with MIDI interface and sequencer software, or a MIDI device (e.g. drum
machine) that can send MIDI Clock/Start/Stop.

The CURVES sequencer can only run as a slave with MIDI clock. MTC (MIDI Time Code) or
position data (such as Song Position Pointer) is not recognized.

4.2 SYNC per MIDI

Each filter channel can be played with an external keyboard, for example. A note number is
assigned to each filter band for this purpose. Velocity affects the triggered volume of the filter
band.

Default notes for the filter bands are note numbers 36-47 on MIDI channel 1.

With the CURVES sequence editor, the note numbers and the MIDI channel can be changed.

4.3 Play filter channels with note commands

The module understands program change commands on the set MIDI receive channel (default:
1). The numbers correspond to the sequence numbers, i.e. 1 to 99.

If a program change command is received while the sequencer is running, the pattern is chan-
ged at the next ONE. If the sequencer is stopped, the pattern is switched immediately.

4.4 Program Change (Select sequence pattern)
