12.8 Controlling Performances with MIDI
An external MIDI controller can easily be assigned to control performance
effects in perform mode. The MIDI Incoming CC’s are predened for the 12
effect slots and the 8 track selections. The top row of the performance
effects are representative of the MIDI incoming values.
Ensure the MIDI settings for communication and the dened connection type are set correctly in the Cong
settings to ensure incoming MIDI control, clock, channel, transport etc are received correctly especially for
the incoming CC data.

Track Pattern Selection
Example: Beatstep
Congured with rotaries to control the CC51-CC62 which sets the effect value. These can also
have preset CC values triggered from the pads. The CC range on the controller is 0-127 which
will be reected across the range of the effect, which may be different. For example -100 to
+100 Panning range will be controlled by a 0 to 127 CC Value.
Rotaries can also be set to select a track and a pattern using CC41-CC48. The value will
represent the pattern which can also be assigned to a pad so that this triggers a specic pattern.
