MIDI Out
This section allows a Gate Expander output to be used as a MIDI output. Because the ES-
4’s outputs are derived from an audio signal, the MIDI messages sent from an ES-4 are free
from the
timing problems often associated with regular (e.g. USB) MIDI interfaces.
Note: The MIDI out feature is fully supported when the input sample rate is 48kHz or
above. In particular, it may not work reliably at 44.1kHz, though users have reported that
most hardware does actually work fine when receiving MIDI generated by an ES-4 run-
ning at 44.1kHz.
Channel
Specifies the MIDI channel to receive on. All MIDI messages from this channel are echoed
out to the ES-4’s output. “Off” disables this feature (but not the MIDI clock output, if en-
abled). “Omni” receives messages on all MIDI channels.
Channelise
If set to “Off”, MIDI messages are sent out on the same channel on which they are re-
ceived. If set to a channel number (1-16), the incoming MIDI messages are sent out on the
specified channel.
Output
Selects the Gate Expander output that will carry the MIDI signal.
Clock
If enabled, causes the plug-in to send MIDI timing clock messages, synced to the DAW’s
transport.
When Clock is enabled, MIDI clock is generated when the host DAW’s transport is run-
ning. The MIDI clock generation always begins at the start of a bar; if the host transport is
started in the middle of a bar, the plug-in waits for the next bar before starting the MIDI
clock.
Swing
These controls allow you to add ‘shuffle’ or ‘swing’ timing to the clock output.
