Native Instruments MASCHINE+ Standalone Production and Performance Instrument - Manual (Page 150)

Control Description
MIDI
Section
Dest.
Selects the MIDI port on which the Sound will send MIDI data.
If MASCHINE+ is running in Stand-alone mode , available entries are None
(MIDI output disabled, default setting), every enabled MIDI output port, as well
as any Sound in the same Group containing a Plug-in that can receive MIDI
(multitimbral Plug-in). Check the MIDI page of the Settings page to enable the
desired MIDI output ports on your MIDI interfaces (see MIDI Settings ).
If MASCHINE+ is in Controller mode and the MASCHINE software is running
as a plug-in in a host application, the entries for the enabled MIDI output ports
are None (MIDI output disabled, default setting) and Host . If Host is selected,
MASCHINE will forward the MIDI data from the Sound to the host application.
This notably allows you to record what you play on the pads as MIDI files in
your host.
Channel Selects the MIDI channel on which the Sound will send MIDI data. By default
Sound slot 1 will send MIDI data on channel 1, Sound slot 2 on channel 2, etc.
Transpose Applies an offset to the MIDI note numbers before the notes are sent. Values
range from -48 (downward transposition by 48 semitones, i.e. four octaves) to
+48 (upward transposition by 48 semitones, i.e. four octaves). The default
value is 0.
13.2. Audio Routing
MASCHINE+ offers a powerful audio routing system that you can finely customize to fit your
specific needs.
To make it short, by default the various channels are structured in a simple, hierarchical way:
• At the bottom level, each Sound has its own channel. The output of the Sound’s channel is sent
to its parent Group.
• At the mid-level, each Group has its own channel, which sums all channels of the included
Sounds. The output of the Group’s channel is sent to the Master.
• At the top level, the Master has its own channel, which sums the channels of all Groups and
ends up at the main output of MASCHINE+. The output of the Master’s channel is sent to your
amplification system.
This default basic configuration can be customized in numerous ways. Using the audio settings
available in the Input and Output properties at the Sound, Group, and Master level, you can build
complex routing that covers a wide range of situations, as you will see in the next sections:
• Feed external audio to the input of your Sounds: Sending External Audio to Sounds .
• Adjust the main output of your Sounds and Groups, and route it to various destinations:
Configuring the Main Output of Sounds and Groups .
• Send auxiliary outputs of your Sounds and Groups to other destinations: Setting Up Auxiliary
Outputs for Sounds and Groups .
• Choose the destination and settings for the Master output as well as for the Cue bus used for
pre-listening: Configuring the Master and Cue Outputs .
