User Manual

◦ For each Sound, MIDI notes will be imported at the default root note C3 — this en-

sures that the imported MIDI data will correctly trigger all MASCHINE factory kits.

◦ The MIDI CC data will be copied to all Sounds for which MIDI notes have been im-

ported.

▪ If the MIDI file contains data on multiple MIDI channels, the data from the individual chan-

nels will be imported to individual Sounds:

◦ If any channel from the MIDI file corresponds to the MIDI input channel of a particu-

lar Sound in your Group, the data on that channel will be imported to that Sound. The

MIDI input channel of each Sound is defined by the Channel parameter in the MIDI

page of the Sound’s Input properties — see section ↑11.2.1, Triggering Sounds via

MIDI Notes.

◦ For all other channels of the MIDI file (i.e. channels that doesn’t correspond to any

MIDI input channel of a Sound in your Group), the data from individual channels will

be imported to individual Sounds that have not received any data during the current

import yet: the channel with the lowest number will be imported to the Sound with the

lowest slot number, and so on.

Example: if the MIDI file contains data on channels 2, 3, and 5, and the MIDI input

channel isn’t defined in any Sound of your Group, Sound slot 1 will receive the data

from channel 2, Sound slot 2 from channel 3, and Sound slot 3 from channel 5.

Importing a MIDI File to a Sound

You can import a MIDI file to a single Sound. For example, this can be useful to import a me-

lodic part for a single instrument. You can do this from the Sound’s context menu, via drag-

and-drop, or via the FILES pane of the Browser.

Method 1: via the Sound’s context menu

1. In the Group List (left of the Arranger), click the Group containing the Sound for which

you want to import the MIDI file.

This sets the focus to that Group and displays its Sounds and Patterns in the Pattern Edi-

tor underneath.

2. Select the Pattern in which you want to import the MIDI file.
