MIDI
To activate the MIDI clock hold the MIDI button and press PLAY, so the
PLAY light is on.
TEMPO + GATE will set the divider for the MIDI clock. See the
TEMPO
section
for more information.
There are 2 modes for interpreting MIDI notes. To alter between the 2
modes, hold the MIDI button and press SCALE. The PITCH FADER light
will be on for the MIDI SCALE mode and off for the MIDI PITCH mode.
1 MIDI SCALE mode is optimized to set the scale (until the active scale
is changed on the Softpop – either manually or by chaining). It works
as a sort of keyboard arpeggiator. MIDI Notes in different octaves will
transpose the sequence.
2 MIDI PITCH mode is designed for direct monophonic playback. To
ensure the correct functionality, stop the sequencer. When the sequencer
is running, it will have similar functionality as the MIDI SCALE mode,
except for octave transposition.
Hold the MIDI button and press PATTERN to activate MIDI Velocity mode
(indicated by PITCH MOD fader light). In MIDI Velocity mode, the velocity
of the active note will be reflected on the sequencer CV output.
Note: a MIDI-defined scale is a collection of notes played legato. In other
words, if you play the notes together, or at least one note is held while
pressing other notes, it will take all these notes into that scale. The scale
repeats in all octaves. This is useful when playing chords, for instance.
