WORKING WITH THE RACK335
Playing devices from the rack
When you create an instrument device it automatically gets a corresponding sequencer track, and Master Keyboard
Input is set to that track so you can play the instrument device from your MIDI keyboard. You can change Master
Keyboard Input by selecting another sequencer track, but you can also change Master Keyboard Input from the rack.
This is useful if you, for example, have the rack detached and maximized, so you can’t see the sequencer area.
When you select a device in the rack it is surrounded by a colored border. At the top left of the border is a Master
Keyboard Input tab:
The Master Keyboard Input tab on a selected ID8 device in the rack.
D Click the Master Keyboard Input tab to automatically set Master Keyboard Input to the device.
Master Keyboard input is automatically switched in the sequencer as well and you can now play the device from
your MIDI keyboard:
Master Keyboard Input set from the ID8 1 device in the rack.
When you play the device, incoming MIDI is indicated by the Master Keyboard Input symbols on the device in the
rack as well as on the sequencer track.
• If a selected device doesn't have a sequencer track (e.g. effect devices), one will be automatically created if you
click the Master Keyboard Input tab.
