.

• How to route MIDI signals to and from your Sounds and Groups, and how to control MASCHINE

+ parameters via MIDI:

Using MIDI Control

.

• How to use the powerful Macro Controls to greatly improve your live experience by putting the

.

The Channel Properties

Most of the features described here can be accessed via the

Channel properties

. Channel

properties are global settings that apply to a particular Sound, Group, or to the Master

independently of which Plug-ins are loaded in its Plug-in slots.

Channel properties are organized into four sets. Similar sets of properties are available for all

channels (Sounds, Groups, and Master):

Input properties

(unavailable for the Master),

Output

properties

,

Groove properties

, and

Macro properties

.

You can access Channel properties and their parameters via the same procedure as for Plug-ins.

Please refer to section

Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages

for a

detailed description.

The Input properties, Output properties, and Macro properties are covered in the following

sections. For more information on the Groove properties, please refer to section

13.1. Using MIDI Control

MASCHINE+ provides you with flexible MIDI remote control and host automation facilities that can

be used in many situations.

Incoming MIDI

The Master, Groups, and Sounds can be controlled via MIDI:

• By default, all MIDI data incoming on the enabled MIDI input port(s) will be received by the

focused Sound of the focused Group. See

MIDI Settings

to find information on how to enable/

disable MIDI input ports in MASCHINE+.

Triggering Sounds via MIDI notes

: By default, incoming MIDI notes will trigger the focused

Sound. You can change this default behavior and map incoming MIDI notes differently in order

to adapt MASCHINE+ to your requirements. The appropriate MIDI settings can be configured in

the

MIDI

page of the Input properties, both for individual Sounds and for entire Groups. These

are described in section

Triggering Sounds via MIDI Notes

.
