Outgoing MIDI
You can also sending MIDI data from Sounds. For example, when MASCHINE is running as a
plug-in in a host environment, this allows you to record your performance on the pads as a
MIDI pattern in your host application. This is described in section
.
7.2.1
Triggering Sounds via MIDI Notes
MASCHINE lets you play your Sound(s) via MIDI notes (e.g., from a MIDI keyboard).
By default and without any configuration, incoming MIDI notes on any MIDI port and any MIDI
channel will trigger different pitches of the Sound slot currently focused — this can be useful
to quickly test a Sound via MIDI!
To play one or more Sounds via MIDI notes independently of the Sound slot currently focused,
you need to configure the MIDI input settings of your Sound(s) or of their Group, i.e. define
how the Sound(s) or the Group should react to incoming MIDI notes. This is done in the
MIDI
page of the Sounds’ or Group’s Input properties.
There is no
MIDI
page in the Input properties of the Master.
MASCHINE 1.x owners: The
MIDI
page of the Input properties for Sounds and Groups
replaces and extends the features of the Sound MIDI Settings and Sound MIDI Batch
Setup available in previous MASCHINE versions, respectively.
When configuring these MIDI input settings, keep in mind the following:
▪
MIDI input settings for a Group affect all Sounds in the Group: Each Sound will be triggered
by a different MIDI note. Typically, this allows you to quickly set up a MIDI remote control
for an entire drum kit.
▪
MIDI input settings for a Sound affect this Sound only: Incoming MIDI notes will trigger dif-
ferent notes of this Sound. Typically, this allows you to control a melodic instrument via
MIDI. More precisely, the incoming MIDI notes will be routed to the first Plug-in slot of the
Sound.
