Creating Direct Output Assignments

You can create a direct output connection to a physical MIDI output from any of the

following object types:

Â Instrument

Â Multi Instrument

Â Mapped Instrument

Â Touch Tracks

Â GM Mixer

Â MIDI Metronome Click

To make a direct output connection:

m Click the Port menu in the object’s Parameter box, and choose the desired MIDI output.

The Port menu lists all MIDI Outputs, plus the following options.

Â The Off setting completely disables the connection to the MIDI interface port.

Â The All option routes the object’s output to all available MIDI ports. This may be

useful if the device is sending a pulse, for example.

Note: If you have a MIDI interface with more than one output port (or even several

interfaces which can be stacked), you can set up a direct connection to one of the

individual ports (1 to 63) of that (or those) interfaces.

Any object with a directly assigned output is indicated by a white triangle on its right-

hand side. The triangle is hollow when there is no direct assignment.
