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:

▪ 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-
