MIDI Tab - Actor-Mixer Objects

The MIDI tab for objects located in the Actor-Mixer Hierarchy contains a series of controls that allow you to define the object's behavior as a MIDI synthesizer:

  • Filter controls specify which MIDI Events are to be processed by the object.

  • Event controls specify what actions are to be taken for received MIDI events.

General

Interface Element

Description

Inclusion

Determines whether the element is included or excluded. When selected, the element is included. When unselected, the element is not included. By default, this applies across all platforms. Use the Link indicator (to the left of the check box) to determine or to set platform-specific customizations.

When this option is unselected, the property and behavior options in the Property Editor become unavailable.

Name

The name of the object.

Notes

Any additional information about the object properties.

Controls the Mute and Solo states for the object and shows the implicit mute and solo states for the object.

Muting an object silences this object for the current monitoring session. Soloing an object silences all the other objects in the project except this one.

A bold M or S indicates that the Mute or Solo state has been explicitly set for the object. A non-bold M or S with faded color indicates that the object's Mute or Solo state was implicitly set from another object's state.

Muting an object implicitly mutes the descendant objects.

Soloing an object implicitly mutes the sibling objects and implicitly solos the descendant and ancestor objects.

[Tip] Tip

Hold the Ctrl key while clicking a solo button to exclusively solo the object for which the solo button is associated.

[Note] Note

Mute and Solo are designed to be used for monitoring purposes only and are not persisted in the project or stored in the SoundBanks.

MIDI

Interface Element

Description

Keymap Editor

Inspects the object in the MIDI Keymap Editor. For more information, refer to the MIDI Keymap Editor.

MIDI Events

Override parent

Determines whether the MIDI Events controls will be inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy. When this option is not selected, the MIDI Events controls are unavailable.

If the object is a top-level object, this option is unavailable.

Play On

Determines what type of MIDI note Event will cause the object to play.

  • Note-On

  • Note-Off

Break On Note-Off

If Play On is set to Note-On, then this property determines whether the playing object stops looping upon reception of a note-off. If so, the playback of looped sounds or continuous containers is stopped, while allowing the current object(s) to finish playing.

Note Tracking

Override parent

Determines whether the Note Tracking controls will be inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy. When this option is not selected, the Note Tracking controls are unavailable.

If the object is a top-level object, this option is unavailable.

Enable

If selected, the node's playback will be pitch-shifted. The amount of pitch-shifting is determined by the note of the received MIDI Event and the value of Root Note.

Default value: false

Root Note

The root note of the node's sound. This value is used in conjunction with a received MIDI note to determine the pitch-shifting of the node's sound.

Note: this value is ignored if note tracking is not enabled.

Default value: C4

Transformation

Transposition

The offset applied to the MIDI event's note. The transposition is applied before the Key Range filters. Note that using XMA or ATRAC9 as the codec for the note source will limit the transposition to 2 octaves maximum.

Default value: 0

Velocity Offset

The offset applied to the MIDI event's note velocity. This applies to MIDI note Events only. The offset is applied before the Velocity filters.

Default value: 0

Filters

Key Range

Filter applied to received MIDI note events' note. A received MIDI note Event is ignored if its note is not within the Min-Max range.

Default Min: C-1 Default Max: G9

[Note] Note

The mapping of numerical MIDI notes to octaves is specified via the user preferences; refer to User Preferences for more details.

Velocity

Filter applied to received MIDI note events' velocity. A received MIDI note Event is ignored if its velocity is not within the Min-Max range.

Default Min: 0 Default Max: 127

Channel

Filter applied to received MIDI note events' channel. A received MIDI note Event is ignored if its channel is not in the filter.

Default: 1-16
