MMIIDDII--OOnnllyy TTrraacckkss
The S2400 can have up to four banks of MIDI-only tracks in addition to the 32 sample tracks. The
pad, buttons, knobs, and fader of a MIDI track can be configured to send out notes and MIDI CC
messages just like a stand-alone MIDI controller. MIDI tracks can also be recorded into patterns.
The number of MIDI banks is set in the Global Settings section of the Settings menu. It can be set
to zero if you choose not to use this feature. The MIDI banks are accessed the same way as the
sample banks. That is, by pressing the Bank key or Shift+Bank to cycle forward or backward
through the banks, or by holding the Bank key and pressing a number key.
MIDI Track Settings
MIDI track settings are accessed by pressing Shift+Pad, or selecting Track Settings from the
Settings menu. Please read through the descriptions of all of the settings to gain an
understanding of how MIDI tracks are configured and how they behave.
Rename: Each track can have a name to remind you of its purpose. The names default to the
bank letter plus pad number (E1-H8).
MIDI Ports: Every MIDI track can be configured separately to send and receive messages on
different ports. This is in contrast to the sample tracks which have shared port settings.
All Tracks Same: Check the All Tracks Same option to set all MIDI tracks’ port settings to be the
same as the track you are editing. If unchecked, each track can have its own port settings.
In from DIN/USB B/USB Host: Incoming MIDI messages from the configured ports will affect this
track in the same way as the controls on the S2400.
Examples: If the pad mode is set to pitched, notes played on an external keyboard will be
treated the same way as setting the pitch and level and pressing a pad. If the fader mode is set
to CC messages, then incoming CC messages with the same number will be treated the same
way as moving the fader.
Out to DIN/USB B/USB Host: Sets the ports to which this track will send messages.
Track Channel: The default channel for this track. ach individual control’s channel can be set to
the track channel (this setting), or a specific channel. When editing the track channel or any
control-specific channel, an exclamation point next to a channel number in the list indicates a
channel conflict, meaning that some other track is already using that channel. That might not be
an issue if the tracks are using the channel on different ports.
Pad Color: Sets the color of the pad LED. Note that regardless of the color specified, the pad LED
will be off if none of that track’s controls are active, like a Sample track with no sample assigned.
Pad Mode: The options are:
Off: Pressing the pad has no effect.
Pitched: The pad sends out MIDI note on/off messages. The pitch and velocity of the messages
is set in level and pitch fader mode, just like sample tracks.
