Midi Control Center Settings - Arturia MatrixBrute User Manual

6.2. MIDI Control Center settings

The MIDI settings are all using the MIDI Control Center's Device tab. Again,
download the software from www.arturia.com.
• Input MIDI Channels - All, 1-16, none. MaxiBrute sends and receives on
one 16-channel MIDI port.
• Output MIDI Channel - 1-16. Choose between the 16 MIDI channels to
send on.
• MIDI clock source - USB, MIDI, Sync. The USB port is the MaxiBrute's
built-in MIDI interface, which you connect to a Mac or PC; MIDI is the
5-pin DIN MIDI in. Use the Sync port to interface with pre-MIDI devices,
such as old Korg and Roland drum machines. The following types are
supported: the default is 1 pulse per step, 2 pulse per quarter note (Korg
Volca), 24 pulses per quarter note (Roland DIN), and 48 pulses per
quarter note DIN.
• MIDI param send and receive - Turns MIDI from the panel on and
off. The keyboard still sends notes when it's off. You might not want
the knobs and sliders to trigger or respond to MIDI from another
instrument while you're playing.
• MIDI out select - The choices are Off, USB, MIDI, or MIDI + USB. USB
has the advantage of connecting directly to a Mac or PC without a
MIDI interface, but you can run MIDI cables over longer distances.
Also note that if you save a DAW project that used the USB connection,
then load it again later, the DAW may get upset if the MatrixBrute isn't
connected and turned on; it'll be looking for a MIDI interface it doesn't
see.
• Local control - Local off means all the panel controls and the keyboard
get sent out over MIDI, but they're disconnected from the MatrixBrute.
This is convenient if you're working with a DAW; you'll hear the
keyboard and controls on the MatrixBrute when its track is selected
and MIDI is being sent back to trigger it, but you won't hear it when
