2.6 Connecting External MIDI Equipment
To connect your external MIDI equipment, hook it up to the MASCHINE Controller’s MIDI In
or MIDI Out socket on the rear panel. If you connect a MIDI keyboard to the MIDI In, you
can directly play the currently selected Sound with it without having to set anything up. You
can also switch Scenes remotely by sending MIDI Program Change messages to MASCHINE.
More on this in chapter 10, ”Creating a Song using Scenes.”
2.6.1 Sync to External MIDI Clock
MASCHINE can be controlled externally via MIDI Clock by any device that is capable of
sending MIDI Clock. This could be hardware such as a drum machine, another groovebox or
sequencer, or even another software sequencer. To enable this, select the Sync to External
MIDI Clock entry from the File menu:
External Sync activated
!
If you use MASCHINE as a plug-in, it is automatically synced to the host application so
you don’t have to activate External Sync!
!
You have to dene at least one Input in the Audio and Midi Settings’ MIDI Tab to enable
External Sync.
