Native Instruments MASCHINE+ Standalone Production and Performance Instrument - Manual (Page 57)

Setting Description
MIDI Sync
MODE Selects the MIDI Sync mode preference:
• Off : No MIDI sync mode is selected.
• Send Clock : Sends a MIDI Clock signal to any device that is capable of
receiving MIDI Clock. This could be hardware such as a synthesizer, drum
machine, or even another software sequencer.
• Receive Clock : Recieves external MIDI Clock signals and can then be
controlled by any device that is capable of sending MIDI Clock. This could
be hardware such as a drum machine, another groove box or sequencer, or
even another software sequencer. Note that the Receive Clock option is not
available when Link is active.
CLOCK
OFFSET
Compensates for delay that may occur during MIDI data transmission.
Delayed MIDI Clock data will cause external devices to respond too late, thus
making your track sound out of sync. By adjusting the Clock Offset value you
can set an amount of latency to be compensated (in milliseconds).
MASCHINE+ will then send MIDI Clock events ahead of time as defined. Clock
Offset is not available when MIDI Sync Mode is set to Off.
MIDI Input
DEFAULT Enables you to play your Sound(s) via MIDI notes, for example, from a MIDI
keyboard. By default and without any configuration, incoming MIDI notes on
any MIDI port and any MIDI channel, or via USB, will trigger the pitch of the
focused Sound. In addition, you can select that a Sound receives no MIDI
input, and also define the default setting for MIDI input by selecting the
Default MIDI Input Mode preference. Select one of the following MIDI input
mode options:
• Focus : MIDI input from any connected controller can be used to trigger the
focused (selected) Sound.
• None : Selected Sounds will not receive MIDI data.
Link
ENABLED Enables the Ableton Link protocol by default. Applications that support
Ableton Link can join a Link session when connected to the same network. For
more information on Ableton Link, see Syncing MASCHINE+ using Ableton
Link .
