the pitch wheel will affect all channels simultaneously, while in Pitched Mode, it will

affect individual channel.

Enable MIDI Program Change

Enable this option to make Microtonic switch between the 16 program slots when it

receives MIDI Program Change messages. Messages with program numbers

above 16 will be ignored.

Stop voices with MIDI Note Off

Turning this option on will make Microtonic mute voices on MIDI Note Off mes-

sages. This allows you to change the length of drum sounds by changing the length

of the notes in your sequencer. It is also useful when using Pitched MIDI Mode to

sustain held midi keys.

Select drum channel with MIDI notes

When this option is turned on, Microtonic will select drum channels as you trigger

them from your MIDI keyboard. This feature is especially useful in combination with

the MIDI CC Operate On Selected Channel option if you plan to use the MIDI

controller mapping features to edit your drum patches.

Pattern Engine Sends MIDI Notes

Turn this option on to have Microtonic transmit MIDI notes for the patterns it plays.

To the extent that your host preset supports it, you can use this option to trigger

other MIDI devices and plug-ins from Microtonic. The MIDI keys transmitted are the

same as for reception (normally C1 to G1) and can be edited as described in MIDI

Controllers And Keys.

MIDI CC operate on selected channel

Normally, MIDI controllers that you map are mapped to parameters of specific drum

channels in Microtonic. If you instead want to map MIDI controllers to drum patch

parameters regardless of channel you should use this option. When MIDI controllers

operate on current drum channel only is turned on, any MIDI controller action will

affect the currently selected drum channel only. This feature is especially useful if

you plan to use your hardware MIDI controller for editing drum patches. Notice that
