Chapter 103: Automating Synchronic RTAS 611
Using MIDI
You can automate Synchronic RTAS parameters
by assigning MIDI note and controller data to
Synchronic presets and performance parame-
ters, and recording them to an Instrument or
MIDI track. You can also edit and manually en-
ter the MIDI data on the track as desired, and
use it to control Synchronic during playback.
Assigning MIDI Notes and
Controller Data to Presets
To assign MIDI notes to combinations of
Synchronic presets:
1 If necessary, switch the MIDI module to Per-
formance mode (see “Performance and Edit
Modes” on page 569).
2 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).
3 Click the MIDI key on the on-screen keyboard
(or press the corresponding key on your MIDI
keyboard).
4 Enable or disable the Module Assign Enable
buttons as desired (see “Selective Module As-
signment” on page 600). The MIDI Key Assign-
ment icons update accordingly.
5 Edit Synchronic’s Sound, Playback, Effect, and
XFade parameters and select presets as desired.
The current state of the assign-enabled modules
will be stored and assigned to the selected key
and corresponding MIDI note number.
Assinging MIDI Controller
Numbers to Synchronic Knobs
To assign MIDI controller numbers to the
Playback, Effects, and XFade User Knobs:
1 If necessary, switch the MIDI module to Edit
mode (see “Performance and Edit Modes” on
page 569).
2 Select Pitch Wheel or Controller # from the
Source pop-up menu for the desired User Knob
assignment.
3 If you select Controller #, you will also need to
enter the MIDI controller number in the MIDI
Control Number field, either by selecting the
field and typing the number or by jiggling the
MIDI controller.
