3. POWER ON/OFF
Push the button in to turn the synth on. The red LED on top of the synth will light up. Push the button
again to turn the synth off. The LED will go out.
Be careful how you hold the synth when turning it on and off. If you built a cardboard case for it, take
care not to squash it.
4. MIDI IN
You can control your Macchiato Mini-Synth with any MIDI controller device. Just run a standard 5-pin
DIN MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of your controller to the MIDI IN of the Macchiato. That’s it. You can
now play any note from any register on the controller and your Macchiato will happily respond. You
can play the capacitive touch keyboard simultaneously with the MIDI, though the synth is still limited
to its two-note polyphony.
The Macchiato only responds to Note and Velocity information. It uses “Velocity not equal to zero” to
turn a note on, and “Velocity equals zero” to turn a note off. It is not otherwise velocity-sensitive. The
Macchiato will not respond to any other controls like modulation or pitch bend, although it could be
programmed to do so. Check in with Zeppelin Design Labs for releases of mods and patches you can
download and flash to your Macchiato for increased flexibility.
