MIDI message
A pedal can generate MIDI notes, pitch bend, controllers,
patch changes, or sysex data. If you chose controller, select
the type of controller you wish to generate. You can either
type in the controller number or choose it by name from
the menu. If you choose system exclusive, see “Sending
sysex data with a pedal” on page 51.
Channel
The output from a pedal can be assigned to any MIDI
channel. To choose the output cable, go to the Routings
tab and drag a connection from the Pedal icon in the left
column to the desired output(s) in the right column.
Sending pedal data
Once you have made the pedal data assignment and
output assignment as described above, no other
preparation is necessary. Just press the pedal.
Using an audio click as a tempo source
Your Express interface can convert an audio click into any
MIDI event. The audio click can be played back from a
tape deck or generated live by a drummer. This feature can
be used for many purposes. Below are a few ideas:
■ Recording the click’s tempo map into a sequencer
■ Slaving a sequencer to a click track
■ Tr igger ing dr um sa mples
This feature can be used in conjunction with MOTU’s
Digital Performer software to slave a sequence to
prerecorded music on tape while referenced to SMPTE
time code. For more information, please refer to the
Digital Performer manual.
To convert an audio click into MIDI:
1 Be sure that the audio click source is connected to the
quarter-inch pedal input on your Express interface.
2 In ClockWorks, go to the Pedal tab.
3 Under Pedal Type, choose Click-to-MIDI.
The Click-to-MIDI options appear in the right-hand side
of the window.
