3.7 Integrating MASCHINE into a MIDI Setup
You can quickly integrate MASCHINE into a MIDI setup.
You can use MIDI in MASCHINE in various ways. Notably:
â–ª You can synchronize a MIDI Clock signal between MASCHINE and other MIDI devices:
↑3.7.2, Sync to External MIDI Clock and ↑3.7.3, Send MIDI Clock.
â–ª If you connect a MIDI keyboard to the MIDI IN, you can directly play the focused Sound
with it without having to set anything up.
â–ª You can let particular Sounds and Groups react to incoming MIDI data and send MIDI data
to the desired port. More on these in section ↑12.2, Using MIDI Control and Host Automa-
tion.
â–ª You can also switch Scenes remotely by sending MIDI Note or MIDI Program Change mes-
sages to MASCHINE. More on this in section ↑16.5, Triggering Sections or Scenes via
MIDI.
3.7.1 Connecting External MIDI Equipment
To connect your external MIDI equipment, hook it up to your MIDI interface and activate the
corresponding MIDI inputs and/or outputs in the MIDI page of the Preferences panel (see
↑3.6.3, Preferences – MIDI Page).
3.7.2 Sync to External MIDI Clock
If MASCHINE is running as a stand-alone application, it can be controlled externally via MIDI
Clock by any device that is capable of sending MIDI Clock. This could be hardware such as a
drum machine, another groovebox or sequencer, or even another software sequencer.
If you use MASCHINE as a plug-in, it is automatically synced to the host application so you don’t
have to activate external MIDI sync! See section ↑3.5, Stand-Alone and Plug-in Mode for more in-
formation on using MASCHINE as a plug-in.
