Some of these parameters also affect MIDI file import: The Channel parameter of a Sound will be
used when importing a multi-channel MIDI file to its Group, while the Root Note parameter will be
used when importing a single-channel MIDI file to the Group. For more information on MIDI file im-
port please refer to section ↑11.8.3, Importing MIDI to Patterns.
If MASCHINE is running as a plug-in in a host and you have configured your Scenes to be triggered
via MIDI notes, the Scene trigger has priority over any Sound trigger set to the same MIDI channel.
To configure MIDI control for Scenes, please refer to section ↑16.5, Triggering Sections or Scenes
via MIDI.
