Connecting External MIDI Equipment

MASCHINE's rear view.
To connect your external MIDI equipment, hook it up to the MASCHINE hardware controller's
MIDI In or MIDI Out socket on the rear panel. If you connect a MIDI keyboard to the MIDI In,
you can directly play the currently selected Sound with it without having to set anything up.
You can also switch Scenes remotely by sending MIDI program change messages to MA-
SCHINE. More on this in chapter
Description
Clicking on Inputs displays a list of all the available MIDI Inputs of your
system. You can activate each Input by clicking in the Status column.
Clicking on Outputs displays a list of all the available MIDI Outputs of your
system. You can activate each output by clicking in the right column that
displays the current status of the corresponding port.
Use the Offset control to compensate delay that may occur during MIDI
data transmission. Delayed MIDI clock data will cause external devices to
respond too late, thus making your track sound out of sync.
By adjusting the Offset value you can set an amount of latency to be com-
pensated (in milliseconds). MASCHINE will then send MIDI clock events
ahead of time as defined.
