Using MIDI Control and Host Automation

MASCHINE provides you with flexible MIDI remote control and host automation facilities that
can be used in many situations.
Incoming MIDI and Host Automation
MASCHINE9s Master, Groups and Sounds can be controlled via MIDI and the host (when MA-
SCHINE is running as a plug-in), both globally and individually:
▪ By default, all MIDI data incoming on the enabled MIDI input port(s) will be received by
the focused Sound of the focused Group. See
formation on how to enable/disable MIDI input ports in MASCHINE.
▪ Triggering Sounds via MIDI notes: By default, incoming MIDI notes will trigger the focused
Sound. You can change this default behavior and map incoming MIDI notes differently in
order to adapt MASCHINE to your requirements. The appropriate MIDI settings can be con-
figured in the MIDI
Groups. These are described in section
▪ Controlling parameters via MIDI messages and host automation: You can control parameters of
Channel properties and Plug-ins in your channels (Sounds, Groups, and Master) via MIDI
messages and host automation (when MASCHINE is running as a plug-in). This is descri-
±12.2.3, Controlling Parameters via MIDI and Host
bed in section
▪ Switching Plug-in Patches via MIDI Program Change messages: You can use MIDI Program
Change messages to recall particular patches (or programs, presets, etc.) for Native Instru-
ments and External Plug-ins loaded at the Sound level. This is described in section
