8.2 MIDI Configuration 73
• Move a knob or slider on your MIDI controller (this can be a keyboard, a knob box, or
any device that sends MIDI). This will link the control of the Chromaphone 3 to the MIDI
controller you just moved.
To deactivate a MIDI assignment, simply right-click/Control-click on the corresponding control
on the Chromaphone 3 interface and select the Forget MIDI Assignment command.
Note that MIDI assignments are not saved with sound presets. They are global parameters
which apply to all sounds. When Chromaphone 3 is used in plug-in mode, these assignments are
saved with the DAW project and are therefore loaded when the project is opened. It is therefore
possible to use different assignments in different projects.
8.2.4 Creating a default MIDI Assigment Map
In order to save the current configuration of assignments as the default map, open the Settings
view by clicking on the Setting tab located in the top of the interface and use the Save Current as
Default command in the MIDI section under Control Change Assigment section. This default map
will be loaded the next time the program is started as a plug-in. In order to revert to the default
map, after making some modifications for example, use the Load Default command in the Settings
view. The Clear command is used to disable all MIDI control assignments at once.
8.2.5 MIDI Program Change
Chromaphone 3 responds to MIDI program change messages. In order to enable MIDI program
changes, open the the Settings view by clicking on the Settings tab in the top of the interface and
check the Enable Program Changes option in the MIDI section. When this is the case, Chroma-
phone 3 loads the sound in the currently selected sound pack whose index number corresponds to
the one received in the program change message. If you do not wish Chromaphone 3 to respond to
MIDI program changes, deselect the Enable Program Changes option.
8.2.6 Pitch bend
Chromaphone 3 reacts to the MIDI pitch bend signal received by Chromaphone 3. The pitch bend
wheel on the interface, located on the left of the Home view, can also be used to modify the pitch
of a sound. The range of the pitch bend is 2 semi-tones up or down by default but can be changed.
To adjust the range of the pitch bend, open the the Settings view by clicking on the Settings tab in
the top of the interface and use the Pitch Bend Range drop-down menu. The different options are
listed in number of in semi-tones. Note that by choosing a value of zero semi-tone, Chromaphone
3 will stop responding to MIDI pitch bend signal. The pitch bend signal can be assigned to another
MIDI controller than the pitch bend wheel. This is adjusted in the MIDI section of the Settings
view.
