MIDI functions of KICK LANCET

KICK  LANCET  receives  MIDI  notes  including  velocity  data,  allowing  the  sound  to  be  played 
dynamically. The note numbers and MIDI-channel can be set as desired. In addition, the function 
of 

GATE

 and 

AUDIO

 jacks can be adapted using MIDI control commands (

see "Using the analogue 

trigger-inputs GATE, SWITCH and AUDIO" on page 11

).

Setting the MIDI-channel and note number

By default, KICK LANCET receives data on MIDI-channel 1 and note number 36 (C). To change the 
note number and the MIDI-channel carry out the following steps:

1.  Deactivate 

OVERKILL

 to switch off KICK LANCET - all LEDs are off.

2.  Press and hold the 

TRIG

 button while restarting the unit by pressing 

OVERKILL

. The LED 

above the 

TRIG

 button starts blinking.

3.  Send a MIDI note to KICK LANCET, e.g. by hitting a key on your master keyboard connected 

to the unit. KICK LANCET stores the corresponding note number and MIDI-channel and 
automatically changes to play mode.

RESET

You can reset the MIDI-channel and note number settings to factory default. Step one and two 
equals the procedure above for setting the MIDI channel. Only step three differs:

3.  Deactivate KICK LANCET by pressing 

OVERKILL

 again. The next time you start the unit, it 

will be reset to factory defaults.
