4. Drag the MIDI file onto the desired Group in the Group List left of the Arranger.
→ The MIDI file will be imported to the selected Pattern of the Group according to the im-
port rules described below.
If the Pattern Editor is in Group view, you can also drag the MIDI file directly onto the
Event area to import it to the Group!
MIDI to Group – import rules: When you import a MIDI file into a Group, MASCHINE assumes
that the MIDI file contains data for different instruments (e.g., a drum kit), and the import will
be performed accordingly. Your MIDI file will be imported as follows:
▪ The imported MIDI data will replace any existing data (notes, MIDI tracks, and modulation
tracks) in the selected Pattern.
▪ If the MIDI file contains data on a single MIDI channel: MIDI notes will be imported to the
different Sounds of your Group according to their pitch:
◦ The MIDI note data will be allocated to the various Sounds in your Group according to
the Root Note parameter in the MIDI page of the Group’s Input properties — see sec-
tion ↑11.2.1, Triggering Sounds via MIDI Notes. This parameter defines the lowest
note in the Group, which is tied to Sound slot 1.
Example: If Root Note is set to C1 (which corresponds to MIDI note number 36 in the
MASCHINE convention), all notes with MIDI note number 36 in the MIDI file will be
imported to the first Sound (in Sound slot 1); all notes with MIDI note number 37 will
be imported to the second Sound (in Sound slot 2); etc.
