To play one or more Sounds via MIDI notes independently of the Sound currently focused, you
need to configure the MIDI input settings of your Sound(s) or of their Group, i.e. define how
the Sound(s) or the Group should react to incoming MIDI notes. This is done in the MIDI page
of the Group or the Sounds Input properties.
There is no MIDI page in the Input properties of the Master.
When configuring these MIDI input settings, keep in mind the following:
â–ª MIDI input settings for a Group affect all Sounds in the Group: Each Sound will be triggered
by a different MIDI note. Typically, this allows you to quickly set up a MIDI remote control
for an entire drum kit.
â–ª MIDI input settings for a Sound affect only that Sound: Incoming MIDI notes will trigger dif-
ferent notes of this Sound. Typically, this allows you to control a melodic instrument via
MIDI. More precisely, the incoming MIDI notes will be routed to the first Plug-in slot of the
Sound.
If the Sound has no Plug-ins, incoming MIDI notes will be forwarded to the Sound’s MIDI output, if
enabled (see section ↑12.2.5, Sending MIDI from Sounds).
â–ª MIDI input settings of a Sound and its parent Group are merged: For example, if you con-
figure a Group to react to incoming notes on MIDI channel 1, but one Sound is setup to
react to incoming notes on MIDI channel 2, then this Sound will react to one incoming
note on MIDI channel 1 and all incoming notes on channel 2.
â–ª The MIDI input settings described here also affect other MASCHINE features:
â—¦ The preset selection via MIDI Program Change for Native Instruments and External
Plug-ins. See section ↑12.2.4, Selecting VST/AU Plug-in Presets via MIDI Program
Change for more information.
◦ The way MIDI files are imported to Sounds and Groups. See section ↑11.8.3, Import-
ing MIDI to Patterns for more information.
â—¦ The way the MIDI dragger in the Pattern editor places Sounds when they are dragged
to host software.
