Chapter 101: Using Synchronic 599
Pre-Mapped Synchronic MIDI
Keys
Synchronic provides a default MIDI keyboard
mapping for triggering Sound, Playback, Effect,
and Crossfade presets.
Synchronic’s default MIDI key mappings are:
• MIDI note numbers 12–23 are reserved for
custom snapshots (see “Assigning MIDI
Keys in Synchronic” on page 599).
• MIDI note numbers 24–35 select Sound
presets A1–A12.
• MIDI note numbers 36–47 select Sound
presets B1–B12.
• MIDI note numbers 48–59 select Playback
presets 1–12.
• MIDI note numbers 60-71 select Effect pre-
sets 1–12.
• MIDI note numbers 72-83 select XFade pre-
sets 1–12.
Assigning MIDI Keys in
Synchronic
Synchronic lets you capture all aspects of the
current playback state (including the A Sound
preset, the B Sound preset, the Playback preset,
the Effect preset, and the XFade preset or fader
position), or some sub-set of the playback state
(for example, only the A and B Sound presets).
Once captured and stored (assigned to a MIDI
note number), this combination can be recalled
using either the on-screen keyboard or with a
MIDI controller.
To capture and assign a combination to a MIDI
note number:
1 Edit Synchronic's Sound, Playback, Effect, and
XFade parameters and select presets as desired.
2 If necessary, switch the MIDI module to Per-
formance mode (see “Performance and Edit
Modes” on page 569).
3 Click the Assign button. The Assign button il-
luminates and the on-screen keyboard’s keys
display their module assignment icons (see
“MIDI Key Assignment Icons” on page 600).
4 Enable or disable the Module Assign Enable
buttons as desired (see “Selective Module As-
signment” on page 600).
5 Click the MIDI key on the on-screen keyboard
(or press the corresponding key on your MIDI
keyboard).
The current state of the assign-enabled modules
will be stored and assigned to the selected key
and corresponding MIDI note number.
If a MIDI key is used to recall a combination that
does not include all modules, the modules that
are not included in the combination will remain
as they were. For example, a combination that
only includes A and B Sounds presets will have
no effect on the state of the Playback, Effect, or
XFade modules.
These pre-defined mappings can be over-
written in Assign mode.
