3.
From here you set the actual mappings for the options available for the group. Use the
SOUND SELECTION wheel to select a MIDI note to map to track, pattern, etc. Then
press [ENTER/YES] to confirm your choice. Please note that each MIDI key only can be
mapped to one function at once. If you select a MIDI key that is already in use, the previ-
ous mapping will be removed.
4.
In the TRIG window you set how the Machinedrum should react when receiving a trig
signal. When set to GATE the Machinedrum pattern will start to play once receiving a
MIDI NOTE ON command and stop when receiving a MIDI NOTE OFF command. This
basically means that a pattern will play for as long as a key is being held on the external
trigging device. START will immediately initiate the new pattern once trigged. QUE func-
tions much like how the internal Machinedrum sequcencer works, if a pattern is playing
and a new MIDI note is received, the pattern currently playing will play to its end before
patterns are switched.
•
If you map a track to “--” it will neither respond to nor send out MIDI NOTE ON or
NOTE OFF messages.
•
You can also use an external MIDI device when assigning MIDI notes. Move to the
row for which you want to change mapping, and then send a NOTE ON message
to the Machinedrum MIDI IN port (i.e. play the note on a connected keyboard).
LOCAL CONTROL
This menu is used for turning local control off or on.
1.
Select the MIDI row in the GLOBAL EDIT menu. Then select LOCAL CTRL and press
[ENTER/YES].
2.
The default setting is ON. When set to OFF, the Machinedrum will not trig internal
sounds when using the sequencer or pressing the [TRIG] keys. It will not react to the
DATA ENTRY knobs either. The unit will only make sounds when trigged by incoming
MIDI data. However, MIDI data is still being sent out from the Machinedrum.
PROGRAM CHANGE
The Machinedrum can both transmit and receive MIDI Program change messages. In this
menu you decide how the Machinedrum should react to these messages.
