Channels and MIDI.

A MIDI channel contains MIDI events. Strictly bound to the sequencer, you can't trigger a MIDI channel manually as you would do with a Sample channel. The main sequencer must be running if you want to play a MIDI channel.

By clicking on the main button you will be able to edit MIDI events as well as doing further operations. You can add a new MIDI channel by clicking on the button on top of each column on the main window.

Anatomy of a MIDI Channel

A MIDI channel is made of several components. From left to right:

• Play button — starts and stops the channel;

• Arm button — arms the channel for recording;

• Main button — shows the channel name and allows many operations on it. More information in the paragraph below;

• Mute button — mutes the channel;

• Solo button — solo mode. Only this channel will be audible;

• FX button — display the plug-ins window;

• Volume dial — controls the channel volume.

The MIDI channel main button

Clicking on a MIDI channel main button reveals a pop-up menu with several options available:

• Edit actions — opens the Action Editor;

• Clear actions — deletes all recorded actions from this channel:

• Set keyboard input — binds keys to channel;

• Setup MIDI input — binds MIDI events to channel. More information in the MIDI input management chapter;

• Setup MIDI output — enables MIDI output from this channel. More information in the MIDI output management chapter;

• Edit routing — allows to tweak some input and output properties such as panning, volume, ...;

• Rename — changes the channel name;

• Clone — adds a new channel by making a full copy of the current one;

• Delete — removes the channel from the column. All MIDI actions will be deleted as well.

MIDI Channel statuses

• Off — the channel is stopped;

• Wait/ending (blinking) — the channel is waiting for the first beat to start or is about to stop;

• Play (fixed) — the channel is active and playing.
