11.4 MIDI Instrument Overview
Tracker Mini has a series of MIDI Instruments that can be assigned to steps
in a pattern. MIDI is defined per step, not per track, so MIDI and Audio
instruments can reside on the same track in the same pattern. A MIDI
instrument essentially defines the MIDI channel on which to transmit data
out and also gives access to the instruments MIDI parameters.
The instrument selection has a dedicated
Instr
button when working in the pattern.
C5 M02 - - - - - - - -
Instruments 51-66 constitute the preset MIDI Instruments. Each of
M02
these represents a MIDI channel 1-16. A MIDI instrument is tagged
with an 'M' in the step configuration.
The instrument parameters are accessible directly and are specific
to the currently selected instrument and it's MIDI Channel.

CC Outputs
Configure the 6 CC Outputs A-F,
used from a step FX1 or FX2
The default velocity to send out can be applied as well as MIDI Latency compensation in the Offset parameter
This illustration shows several MIDI instruments set for MIDI Channel 2. The notes values will be sent on the
defined channel to a connected device such as another synth or DAW. MIDI Out would need to be set correctly
in the Config > MIDI parameters to transmit the note values over MIDI.
The MIDI transmitted will be based on the project tempo. Also remember that tempo FX can be applied to steps
which would also affect the MIDI output timing.

NOTES NOTES
Polyend Tracker Mini Manual
The Instrument parameters will reflect the MIDI output options available
when selecting a step with a MIDI instrument configured. The Note is set in
the step and will be sent on the channel defined in the MIDI instrument. The
default velocity can also be set for MIDI out.
The same general process is followed when working with MIDI steps as
with audio steps. More details are covered in a prior section.
▌ CREATING A MIDI NOTE OUTPUT STEP
1. Press [1] to select the Pattern Mode page.
2. Select the target step to edit. Use (Up), (Down) to scroll top to bottom.
Press (Left), (Right) to select a track. Example Row 1 of Track 1. The
step should be highlighted with the green bounding box.
3. Press [Rec] to switch to recording mode. The step bounding box will
turn red and allow editing of the step.
4. Note: Hold [Note] + [+] / [-] to set a note for the step.
Also with the note already selected, use [+] / [-] to change it's value.
5. Instrument: Hold [Instrument] + [+] / [-] or (Up) (Down) to change to an
instrument from the 51 to 61 list. Each one will represent a MIDI
channel where the step messages will be transmitted. The Instrument
will be indicated with an 'M' in the instrument slot for the step.
