User Manual

Controls Description
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, 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 Audio
and MIDI Settings panel (see section ↑2.6.3, Preferences – MIDI
Page). 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.
The Channel parameter of a Sound is also used when importing a
multi-channel MIDI file to its Group — see section ↑10.8.3,
Importing MIDI to Patterns for more on this.
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.
The Start Note parameter is also used when importing a single-
channel MIDI file to the Group — see section ↑10.8.3, Importing
MIDI to Patterns for more on this.
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.
