16. Appendix D
Midi Setup Options
! The MIDI Setup menu provides tabs for configuring the MIDI Port Connections and MIDI In
Keyboard Controller options. MIDI Port Configurations are covered in the MIDI Setup section.
This Appendix provides details on configuring and using the MIDI IN Keyboard Controller and
Virtual MIDI Port functions (the Virtual MIDI Ports only appears in the Macintosh version of
SoundEditor).
Midi In Keyboard Controller
! The MIDI In Keyboard Controller function allows you to control the Tetra from \another MIDI
controller while SoundEditor is active. When enabled, the MIDI In Keyboard Controller function
acts like a MIDI Merge utility, merging MIDI data from the controller device with editing data
from SoundEditor.
! Only a few simple steps are required to configure the MIDI In Keyboard Controller function:
1. Select the MIDI port that the controller is connected to.
2. Make sure that the ‘Activate MIDI Controller Port’ checkbox is checked.
3. Set the MIDI Controller to the same MIDI channel as the Tetra.
4. Test the setup. If the controller can send MIDI Note On messages, you can test the setup
by playing a few notes. Otherwise, try sending an easily discernible MIDI
message, such a Program Change command.
