OTHER APPLICATIONS OF THE TRIGGER IO
The Trigger IO can be used for a variety of applications which use
MIDI as their control protocol. For example, the Trigger IO can be
used to trigger melodic sounds on sound modules or VST
instruments. This means that you can play pitched instruments,
such as vibraphones, marimbas, xylophone, even a piano or a
violin, straight from the Trigger IO.
As you have already seen throughout this manual, the Trigger IO
uses MIDI Note information to trigger events, such as drum hits.
However, MIDI Notes also represent actual musical notes and
pitches (much like keys on a piano). This allows pitched content to
be played from MIDI devices (such as the Trigger IO).
For this reason, we include a handy chart which shows you how
MIDI Note Numbers correspond to musical pitches (as shown on a
piano keyboard). The musical pitches are followed by their
corresponding MIDI Note Numbers in ( ).
You can use this chart to help you quickly setup the Trigger IO for
working with pitched content.
