interval. Pressing a note on your MIDI controller and/or manipulating the pitch bend wheel will set the pitch
shifting effect accordingly, enabling you to play the pitch shifter as if it were an instrument. Middle C (MIDI
note 60) sets the pitch shifter at zero, or no shifting. The range is three octaves below middle C to three
octaves above middle C. The left and right pitch shifters are set to the same interval.
Note: Different hosts have different ways of allowing MIDI information to be routed to effects plug-ins. In
some hosts, it is not possible to send MIDI information to effects plug-ins. Consult the documentation for your
host if you are unsure about its MIDI routing capabilities.
MIDI Controllers
Discord responds to MIDI continuous controller messages. You can use hardware MIDI controllers, such as
MIDI slider boxes or the knobs found on some MIDI keyboards, to adjust Discord’s parameters.
Discord has a simple “MIDI Learn” mode for assigning its sliders and switches to MIDI controllers. To assign a
control to a MIDI controller:
1. Hold down the SHIFT and CTRL keys on your PC’s keyboard, or SHIFT and CMD keys if you’re using a Mac,
and click once on the control. A white box will be drawn around the control to indicate that it is ready
to learn which MIDI controller it will be assigned to.
2. Move the MIDI controller to send a continuous controller message—turn the knob, press the button,
move the slider, whatever is appropriate.
3. The white square will disappear. Now the control will move when you manipulate the MIDI controller.
Discord waits until it has received two consecutive continuous controller messages with the same controller
number before it makes an assignment. This filters out extraneous data sent by some MIDI controllers. If you
are assigning a button or switch on a MIDI controller, you may have to press or move the switch twice before
Discord recognizes the controller and assigns it to the desired knob.
 To assign a different MIDI controller to a control, repeat the same procedure using a different
controller.
 To cancel MIDI Learn mode without assigning a controller, hold down the SHIFT and CTRL keys ( SHIFT
and CMD keys on a Mac) and click in any empty area in Discord’s window (i.e., don’t click on another
control). The white box will disappear.
