Controls Description
Channel Selects the MIDI channel on which the Sound or Group will receive
MIDI notes. If you select All (default setting), the Sound or Group
will receive MIDI notes from all channels.
The Channel parameter of a Sound is also used when importing a
multi-channel MIDI file to its Group — see section ↑7.8.3,
Importing MIDI to Patterns for more on this.
Root Note (Groups only) Defines the MIDI root note for that Group (C1 by default). The MIDI
root note and the upper 15 MIDI notes (from [Root Note] until
[Root Note + 15]) will trigger the root note of Sound slot 1–16,
respectively. Incoming MIDI notes outside this range will be ignored
by the Group.
The Root Note parameter is also used when importing a single-
channel MIDI file to the Group — see section ↑7.8.3, Importing
MIDI to Patterns for more on this.
Some of these parameters also affect MIDI file import: The Channel parameter of a
Sound will be used when importing a multi-channel MIDI file to its Group, while the
Root Note parameter will be used when importing a single-channel MIDI file to the
Group. For more information on MIDI file import please refer to section ↑7.8.3, Import-
ing MIDI to Patterns.
If MASCHINE is running as a plug-in in a host and you have configured your Scenes to
be triggered via MIDI notes, the Scene trigger has priority over any Sound trigger set to
the same MIDI channel. To configure MIDI control for Scenes, please refer to section
↑14.5, Triggering Sections or Scenes via MIDI.
