6.5.7 Triggering Lock Snapshots via MIDI
If MASCHINE is running as a plug-in in a host environment, you can trigger and change Lock
snapshots using MIDI Note or MIDI Program Change messages sent from your host to the MA-
SCHINE plug-in.
When this feature is enabled, MIDI notes messages, or Program Change messages are linked to
MASCHINE’s Lock snapshots, whether they contain a snapshot or not:
Matrix Click-Pad/Snapshot MIDI Note Number Program Change Number
1 0 (C-2) 1
2 1 (C#-2) 2
3 2 (D-2) 3
… … …
64 63 (D#3) 64
The primary use case for triggering Lock snapshots via MIDI is when using MASCHINE in plug-
in mode. However, it is also possible using an external MIDI device such as a keyboard to trig-
ger a snapshot.
MIDI Note numbers: Host applications use various conventions to name MIDI notes. For example, in
MASCHINE, MIDI note number 0 is referred to as C-2 and MIDI note number 60 (middle C) as C3.
Please refer to the documentation of your host to find out which convention is used.
Program Change numbers: Some host applications send Program Change numbers in the range [0–
127] instead of [1–128]. In that case, the PC number 0 will trigger snapshot slot 1, PC 1 will trig-
ger snapshot slot 2, etc. Please refer to the documentation of your host to know in which range it
sends Program Change numbers.
Enabling the MIDI Lock Change
To enable or disable the MIDI Lock Change feature, do the following:
1. Click Edit > MIDI Change.
