MIDI category: Actor-Mixer Hierarchy objects

For objects located in the Actor-Mixer Hierarchy, there are 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.

Description

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.

Default value: false

Play On

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

  • Note-On

  • Note-Off

Default value: Note-On

MIDI 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.

Default value: false

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.

Default value: false

Enable MIDI note tracking

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

MIDI tracking 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]Note

this value is ignored if note tracking is not enabled.

Default value: 60

Range: 0 to 127

Transformation

Transposition

The offset applied to the MIDI event’s note. The transposition is applied before the Key Range filters.

Default value: 0

Range: -127 to 127

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

Range: -127 to 127

Filters

Key Range Min

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.

Default value: 0

Range: 0 to 127

Key Range Max

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.

Default value: 127

Range: 0 to 127

Velocity Min

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 value: 0

Range: 0 to 127

Velocity Max

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 value: 127

Range: 0 to 127

Channel Filter

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

Default value: 65535

Range: 0 to 65535
