Controls Description
MIDI ROUTING
Section
Key Mode
(Pad
Mode only)
Enables the MIDI note input for the selected Group (disabled by default).
Key Mode offers the following options:
Off : Select this option to disable MIDI note input for the selected Group.
Drumkit : Select this option to conveniently configure the MIDI note input
for the selected Group and place each Sound on a specific key
chromatically across the keyboard starting from C2 upwards.
Manual : This option allows you to configure the MIDI note input based on
your own preferences, including the Source , Channel , Start Note and Thru
settings.
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, the 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 Settings (see section MIDI Settings ).
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.
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.
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.
13.3. Creating Custom Sets of Parameters with the Macro
Controls
Macro Controls enable you to control in one same location a selection of parameters coming from
different sources. Available in every channel (Sounds, Groups, and Master), Macro Controls are
very useful for playing live since you can choose a set of parameters from various sources to
manipulate on one screen without having to switch screens.
