THE MIDI SEQUENCER

72

sequencer tracks. Read more about how to configure the MIDI output of the inter-
nal sequencer in section “CONTROL OUT1”, on page 91. Note though that the 
same parameters won’t be available. Note off commands are also handled differ-
ent when MIDI sequencing using the internal tracks. On the internal tracks you 
need to insert a NOTE OFF trig. For more info about NOTE OFF trigs, see “OVER-
VIEW OF GRID RECORDING MODE” on page 12.

•

The Monomachine makes distinction between MIDI sent out of the unit and MIDI 
received. Even if the same MIDI channel is selected for one track of the MIDI 
sequencer and the one track of the internal sequencer, the MIDI sequencer will not 
control the internal sounds, as the MIDI sequencer data is only going out through 
the MIDI OUT.

•

As the MIDI sequencer tracks are part of the pattern, they will also be played as 
part of the multi trig and the sequence start playback options. This allows tight 
integration of external MIDI gear in a Monomachine performance.
