NOTES
The ability to connect to a PC or Mac via a MIDI connection is possible, which can allow software
synths and plug-ins to be controlled by Tracker. Tracker will need a hub or will need to be powered
by the PC / Mac as the USB connection is the source of power for Tracker.
An external device, keyboard or drum pads can be connected to control
Tracker by MIDI either by USB or via the 5 Pin MIDI dongle. Notes can be
played or recorded and CC messages controlling assigned parameters.
