A-12 Appendix A: MACHINE REFERENCE
MID
The MIDI machines are used for controlling
external MIDI gear, such as synthesizers, con-
nected to the MIDI OUT port of the Machine-
drum. There are 16 MIDI machines in total,
each connected to the corresponding MIDI
channel. As there is no internal audio process-
ing fo these machines, their controls extend
over the SYNTHESIS, EFFECT and ROUT-
ING menus.
Synthesis window
NOTE - Selects the MIDI note to be triggered, ranging from
C
-2 to G8.
N2 - If N2 differs from 0 it adds a second note (chord) N2
number of semitones from NOTE.
N3 - If N3 differs from 0 it adds a second note (chord) N3
number of semitones from NOTE.
LEN - Sets the length of the notes.
VEL - Sets the velocity for NOTE, N2 and N3.
PB - Controls the Pitch bend settings.
MW - Controls the Modulation Wheel.
AT - Controls the channel After Touch.
Track effects window
CC1D
- Selects the Control Change message to be con-
trolled by CC1V.
CC1V - Sets the value of the Control Change chosen in
CC1D.
CC2D - Selects the Control Change message to be con-
trolled by CC2V.
CC2V - Sets the value of the Control Change chosen in
CC2D.
CC3V - Sets the value of the Control Change chosen in
CC3D.
CC3D - Selects the Control Change message to be con-
trolled by CC3V.
CC4V - Sets the value of the Control Change chosen in
CC4D.
CC4D - Selects the Control Change message to be con-
trolled by CC4V.
Routing window
CC5D
- Selects the Control Change message to be con-
trolled by CC5V.
CC5V - Sets the value of the Control Change chosen in
CC5D.
PCHG - Performs a Program Change message between 0
and 126.
LFOS - Controls the speed of LFO of the MIDI machine.
LFOD - Controls the depth of the LFO of the MIDI
machine.
LFOM - Controls the balance between the waveforms of
the LFO of the MIDI machine.
CTR
T
he control machines are used to automate
and making it easier to control the different
parameters of the sixteen available tracks as
well as offering control over the stereo mas-
ter effects. Note that you can use LFO’s
alongside the stereo master effect control
machines, but not with the other control
machines.
CONTROL ALL “CTR-AL”
This machine simultaneously controls the chosen
p
arameter or parameters for all 16 tracks. Manipulating
one parameter on the CTR-AL machine will affect the
corresponding parameter on all 16 tracks. Note that
CTRL-AL does not affect the MIDI machines or the
SYNTHESIS page of RAM RECORD machines. The
functionality of this machine is similar to the [FUNC-
TION] + DATA ENTRY knobs operation described on
page 37 . The major difference is that using this
machine, you can set trigs.
Synthesis window
This page controls the up to 8 available synthesis
parameters for every machine and track.
