To control an external MIDI device:
1. Connect the MIDI or USB output of the OB-6 to the MIDI or USB input
of the external device, depending on which type of connection the external
device requires.
2. On the OB-6, press the globals button,
then press program selector button 9
(
midi
out
)
to select
nid
(
midi
)
or
usb
(
usb
)
.
3. Press the globals button again to exit the Global menu.
4. On the external device, set the MIDI Channel and MIDI Receive port to
match the OB-6.
5. Hold down a chord on the OB-6 or start sequencer playback. The external
device should be triggered by the arpeggiated or sequenced notes.
Transposing Sequencer Playback
As you know, when working with sequences, you can transpose the key of a
sequence during playback by holding down the rec button and pressing a key
on the OB-6 keyboard (or external keyboard controller if you’re using the OB-6
module).
With OS 1.5.5, if you’re using a program with Unison enabled, you don’t need to
hold down the rec button. You can simply press a note on the keyboard and the
sequence is transposed to that key. (When not using Unison, you must still hold
down the rec button to enable transposition.)
Remember that
“Middle C” is the reference point. Playing a note above middle
C transposes the sequence higher by that interval. Playing a note below middle C
transposes the sequence lower by that interval
.
