▪ MIDI input settings of a Sound and its parent Group are merged: For example, if you con-
figure a Group to react to incoming notes on MIDI channel 1, but one Sound is setup to
react to incoming notes on MIDI channel 2, then this Sound will react to one incoming
note on MIDI channel 1 and all incoming notes on channel 2.
▪ The MIDI input settings described here also affect other MASCHINE features:
◦ The preset selection via MIDI Program Change for Native Instruments and External
Plug-ins. See section ↑12.2.4, Selecting VST/AU Plug-in Presets via MIDI Program
Change for more information.
◦ The way MIDI files are imported to Sounds and Groups. See section ↑11.8.3, Import-
ing MIDI to Patterns for more information.
◦ The way the MIDI dragger in the Pattern editor places Sounds when they are dragged
to host software.
▪ MIDI automation (i.e. controlling MASCHINE parameters via MIDI) is not affected by the
settings described here. For more information on MIDI automation, please refer to section
↑12.2.3, Controlling Parameters via MIDI and Host Automation.
The MIDI page of the Input properties (here for a Group) in the software.
Please refer to section ↑3.3.5, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the
Control Area to know how to access the MIDI page of the Input properties in the software and from
your controller.
