NOTES
A pattern can be programmed with CC change values per step. This allows
automation of dened parameters on a connected external device. CC
messages are not muted when using the [Mute] Buttons.
▌ CREATING A MIDI CC SEQUENCE
1. Establish what the MIDI CC conguration is for the devices to connect
to Play. Most device manufacturers provide documented CC settings for
their gear. These are also called ‘MIDI denitions’ in the standard
documentation. Ensure this is the device CC denitions and not NRPN
which are not compatible with Play.
2. The default MIDI Control parameters are assigned to Knobs for CC#’s
12, 13, 17, 19, 22, 71, 74 and 75. These can be changed in the MIDI
Menu under ‘CC Mapping, described later.
3. The objective is to set values for a CC# that matches the destination
parameter to control. For example, CC#75 for a Digitakt connected
device is Filter Resonance. Therefore the default Play conguration
uses (Sample Decay) Knob to control CC#75.
4. In MIDI Mode and with the sequencer stopped, turning a MIDI CC knob
on Play will send a real time CC message.
5. In Live Rec mode, realtime changes to CC parameters will be recorded
into selected tracks. Only active steps i.e. with a musical note or a ‘no
note’, note assigned will record a CC value.
6. To program a CC pattern and create an automation lane per step, Hold
step [Pad] + Turn (Knob) for the CC parameter to adjust. In MIDI Mode,
several parameter knobs revert to CC control knobs. The values set will
transmit to the external device over a 0-127 range.
7. To remove a CC setting on a step, Hold the step to edit [Pad] + Quickly
Double Tap the Left side [Screen Button] for the parameter in focus.
This will reset the selected parameter to it’s default value.
