To trigger a cell or column via MIDI remote control
You can trigger a cell or column via MIDI remote control, but you must first specify the MIDI message
that should trigger the cell or column.
1. Right-click the cell or Column Trigger that you would like to trigger via MIDI remote control, and
select MIDI Learn from the pop-up menu.
The cell has an orange outline. The next MIDI event the Matrix receives will be assigned to all
cells that are in MIDI Learn mode.
2. Press the desired key, pad or button on your MIDI controller.
The incoming MIDI message is assigned to all cells that are in MIDI Learn mode.
The MIDI message is assigned to a specific cell in the grid, not to any particular pattern or loop. You
can even use MIDI Learn on empty cells.
After a cell has been assigned to a MIDI message, you can press the corresponding key, pad or
button on your MIDI controller to trigger the cell.
1. Make sure the Cell MIDI Trigger button in the Matrix view toolbar is enabled.
2. Press the desired key, pad or button on your MIDI controller.
All cells that are assigned to the incoming MIDI message will be triggered.
To disable MIDI remote control
• Make sure the Cell MIDI Trigger button in the Matrix view toolbar is disabled.
To clear MIDI event assignments
•Do one of the following:
Note: If the Cell MIDI Trigger button in the Matrix view toolbar is disabled, it will
automatically be enabled when a cell is in MIDI Learn mode.
Tip: You can put multiple cells on different rows into MIDI Learn mode, and all cells will be triggered
by the same MIDI event.
Note: You can also use a MIDI modifier key to trigger a cell using the opposite mode of the
current Cell Start, Global Loop Mode, Global Latch Mode, or Retrigger Mode settings. To
MIDI learn the MIDI modifier functions, Right-click the desired global mode button in the Matrix
toolbar, choose MIDI Learn, then press the desired modifier note on your MIDI controller.
To use a modifier in a performance, press the appropriate modifier key on your MIDI controller, as
learned using the steps outlined above. This action will invert the corresponding mode behavior for
the very next cell that is triggered. Once a cell has been triggered, the modifier key is cleared and
Matrix cell triggering will resume based on mode settings in the Matrix.
