15.5 Triggering Sections or Scenes via MIDI
You can trigger and change Sections and Scenes using MIDI Note or MIDI Program Change
messages sent from your host to the MASCHINE plug-in or MIDI controller.
When this feature is enabled, MIDI notes or Program Change messages are linked to the first
128 Section slots or Scenes (depending on your settings) whether they are empty or not:
Section/Scene Slot MIDI Note Number Program Change Number
1 0 1
2 1 2
3 2 3
… … …
128 127 128
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 num-
ber 60 (middle C) as C3. Please refer to the documentation of your host to know 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 Section/
Scene slot 1, PC 1 will trigger Section/Scene slot 2, etc. Please refer to the documenta-
tion of your host to know in which range it sends Program Change numbers.
To enable or disable Section/Scene MIDI Change feature, do the following:
1. In the MASCHINE Header, click the cog wheel icon.
2. Click MIDI Change from the menu.
