MIDI Configuration

73

Move a knob or slider on your MIDI controller (this can be a keyboard, a knob box, or
any device that sends MIDI). This will link the control of the

Chromaphone 3

to the MIDI

controller you just moved.

To deactivate a MIDI assignment, simply right-click/Control-click on the corresponding control

on the

Chromaphone 3

interface and select the

Forget MIDI Assignment

command.

Note that MIDI assignments are not saved with sound presets. They are global parameters

which apply to all sounds. When

Chromaphone 3

is used in plug-in mode, these assignments are

saved with the DAW project and are therefore loaded when the project is opened. It is therefore
possible to use different assignments in different projects.

8.2.4

Creating a default MIDI Assigment Map

In order to save the current configuration of assignments as the default map, open the

Settings

view by clicking on the

Setting

tab located in the top of the interface and use the

Save Current as

Default

command in the

MIDI

section under

Control Change Assigment

section. This default map

will be loaded the next time the program is started as a plug-in. In order to revert to the default
map, after making some modifications for example, use the

Load Default

command in the

Settings

view. The

Clear

command is used to disable all MIDI control assignments at once.

8.2.5

MIDI Program Change

Chromaphone 3

responds to MIDI program change messages. In order to enable MIDI program

changes, open the the

Settings

view by clicking on the

Settings

tab in the top of the interface and

check the

Enable Program Changes

option in the

MIDI

section. When this is the case,

Chroma-

phone 3

loads the sound in the currently selected sound pack whose index number corresponds to

the one received in the program change message. If you do not wish

Chromaphone 3

to respond to

MIDI program changes, deselect the

Enable Program Changes

option.

8.2.6

Pitch bend

Chromaphone 3

reacts to the MIDI pitch bend signal received by

Chromaphone 3

. The pitch bend

wheel on the interface, located on the left of the

Home

view, can also be used to modify the pitch

of a sound. The range of the pitch bend is 2 semi-tones up or down by default but can be changed.
To adjust the range of the pitch bend, open the the

Settings

view by clicking on the

Settings

tab in

the top of the interface and use the

Pitch Bend Range

drop-down menu. The different options are

listed in number of in semi-tones. Note that by choosing a value of zero semi-tone,

Chromaphone

3

will stop responding to MIDI pitch bend signal. The pitch bend signal can be assigned to another

MIDI controller than the pitch bend wheel. This is adjusted in the

MIDI

section of the

Settings

view.
