13.4 Triggering Scenes via MIDI (MASCHINE Plug-in Only)
If MASCHINE is running as a plug-in in a host environment, you can trigger and change
Scenes using MIDI Note or MIDI Program Change messages sent from your host to the MA-
SCHINE plug-in.
When this feature is enabled, MIDI notes or Program Change messages are linked to the first
128 Scenes slots MASCHINE’s Scene Manager (i.e. the Scene slots of the first 8 Scene
banks), whether they are empty or not:
Scene Slot MIDI Note Number Program Change Number
1 0 1
2 1 2
3 2 3
… … …
128 127 128
MIDI Note numbers: Host applications use various conventions to name MIDI notes. For ex-
ample, in MASCHINE, MIDI note number 0 is referred to as C-2 and MIDI note number 60
(middle C) as C3. Please refer to the documentation of your host to know which convention
is used.
Program Change numbers: Some host applications send Program Change numbers in the
range [0–127] instead of [1–128]. In that case, the PC number 0 will trigger Scene slot 1,
PC 1 will trigger Scene slot 2, etc. Please refer to the documentation of your host to know
in which range it sends Program Change numbers.
To enable or disable the Scene MIDI Change feature, do the following:
1. In the MASCHINE Header, click the cog wheel icon.
