2.7 Integrating MASCHINE into Your MIDI Setup
 
You can quickly integrate MASCHINE into your MIDI setup.
You can use MIDI in MASCHINE in various ways. Notably:
▪ You  can  synchronize  a  MIDI  Clock  signal  between  MASCHINE  and  other  MIDI  devices:
↑2.7.2, Sync to External MIDI Clock and↑2.7.3, Send MIDI Clock.
▪ 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.
▪ 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 ↑8.2, Using MIDI Control and Host Automa-
tion.
▪ You can also switch Scenes remotely by sending MIDI Note or MIDI Program Change mes-
sages  to  MASCHINE.  More  on  this  in  section  ↑13.5,  Triggering  Sections  or  Scenes  via
MIDI.
2.7.1 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
↑2.6.3, Preferences – MIDI Page).
2.7.2 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 ↑2.5, Stand-Alone and Plug-
in Mode for more information on using MASCHINE as a plug-in.
