Description

Source

(stand-alone and

in Manual mode only)

Select the MIDI port on which the Sound or Group will receive MIDI

notes. Available entries are

None

(MIDI note input disabled, default

setting),

All

(MIDI notes are received on all enabled input ports),

and each enabled MIDI input port. You can enable the desired MIDI

input ports of your MIDI interfaces in the

MIDI

page of the

Audio

and MIDI Settings

panel (see section

3.7.3, Preferences – MIDI

Page

). Note that when

None

is selected for both a Sound and its

parent Group, if the Sound is focused it will receive MIDI notes

from all MIDI ports and on all MIDI channels.

Channel

(Manual mode

only)

Select the MIDI channel on which the Sound or Group will receive

MIDI notes. If you select

All

(default setting), the Sound or Group

will receive MIDI notes from all channels.
The

Channel

parameter of a Sound is also used when importing a

multi-channel MIDI file to its Group — see section

11.8.3,

Importing MIDI to Patterns

for more on this.

Start Note

(Manual

mode only)

Define the MIDI root note for that Group (

C1

by default). The MIDI

root note and the upper 15 MIDI notes (from [Root Note] until
[Root Note + 15]) will trigger the root note of Sound slot

1

16

,

respectively. Incoming MIDI notes outside this range will be ignored
by the Group.
The

Start Note

parameter is also used when importing a single-

channel MIDI file to the Group — see section

11.8.3, Importing

MIDI to Patterns

for more on this.

Thru

(Manual mode

only)

Switch this parameter on to send incoming events through to the
MIDI outputs. This can be useful if you want to record notes played
from MASCHINE into your host sequencer, and then play them

back from there, using MASCHINE as the sound source.
Switch this parameter off to stop incoming events from being
routed to the outputs.
