Enable the song to be synced from an external MIDI clock
Enable song start and/or stop controlled from MIDI transport messages. PATTERN will start the song where you last played the song from. SONG will respond to MIDI song position pointer messages
Enable sending MIDI clock messages
Enable sending song start and stop messages. PATTERN will only send the start and stop messages where as SONG will also send a song position pointer message
MIDI channel for recording incoming MIDI notes. Select the correct REC. NOTE CHAN for the controller and highlight a note column in phrase view to insert and record MIDI notes from an MIDI controller
While the song is playing, notes will be inserted based on the time they were played. Notes and instruments can be previewed when the cursor is outside the note column
Enables recording note velocity when recording MIDI notes
Record DEL and KIL FX commands when recording incoming MIDI notes into a phrase
MIDI channel for incoming MIDI CCs. If you select a specific number, the CC messages will only be received from that particular channel. If you select ALL, the CC messages will be received from all MIDI channels, but this may cause conflicts with keys, mutes and solos sent by MIDI notes
To assign a MIDI CC to a parameter, place the cursor on the desired parameter, hold [OPTION] and turn the MIDI CC or touch the screen. To remove the mapping, press [OPTION] + [EDIT]
MIDI channel for incoming MIDI notes for cueing song rows. Different notes send on this channel will cue different song rows
There are three different modes to choose from:
MONO plays all tracks of the same MIDI channel together in unison
LEGATO is the same as MONO, but overlapping notes will not cause the instrument to retrigger
POLY plays each track of the same MIDI channel one after the other (round-robin) on each incoming MIDI note
On the M8 set CONTROL MAP CHAN to, for example, 16 and then set your MIDI controller to the same channel. Here's what different notes do:
C-1 (Pitch 0) is [PLAY]
C#-1 (Pitch 1) is [SHIFT]
D-1 (Pitch 2) is [EDIT]
D#-1 (Pitch 3) is [OPTION]
E-1 (Pitch 4) is [LEFT]
F-1 (Pitch 5) is [RIGHT]
F#-1 (Pitch 6) is [UP]
G-1 (Pitch 7) is [DOWN]
You just need to ensure your MIDI controller has those notes assigned to the buttons (momentary press) that you wish to use
On the M8 set CONTROL MAP CHAN to, for example, 16 and then set your MIDI controller to the same channel. Here's what each note sent on this channel will do:
Notes C0 to G0 (Pitch 12 to 19) will mute tracks 1 to 8
Notes G#0 to D#1 (Pitch 20 to 27) will solo tracks 1 to 8
You just need to ensure your MIDI controller has those notes assigned to the buttons (toggle press) that you wish to use
You can find an example of what can be achieved using an external MIDI controller in this link.
This example uses the headless version and nanoKONTROL, therefore some scripts are required. However, these scripts aren't necessary if you're using the actual M8 and a newer MIDI controller.
