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 Output properties in the software and from
your controller.
Control Description
MIDI Section
Dest. Selects the MIDI port on which the Sound will send MIDI data.
If MASCHINE is running in stand-alone mode, available entries are
None (MIDI output disabled, default setting), every enabled MIDI
output port, as well as any Sound in the same Group containing a
Plug-in that can receive MIDI (multitimbral Plug-in). Check the
MIDI page of the Preferences panel to enable the desired MIDI
output ports on your MIDI interfaces (see ↑3.6.3, Preferences –
MIDI Page).
If MASCHINE is running as a plug-in in a host application, the
entries for the enabled MIDI output ports are None (MIDI output
disabled, default setting) and Host. If Host is selected, MASCHINE
will forward the MIDI data from the Sound to the host application.
This notably allows you to record what you play on the pads as MIDI
files in your host — e.g., for further editing, controlling other
instruments, etc.
Channel
Selects the MIDI channel on which the Sound will send MIDI data.
By default Sound slot 1 will send MIDI data on channel 1, Sound
slot 2 on channel 2, etc.
Transpose Applies an offset to the MIDI note numbers before the notes are
sent. Values range from -48 (downward transposition by 48
semitones, i.e. four octaves) to +48 (upward transposition by 48
semitones, i.e. four octaves). The default value is 0.
