Assigning MIDI Keys in Synchronic
Synchronic lets you capture all aspects of the current playback state (including the A Sound preset, the B Sound preset, the Playback preset, the Effect preset, and the XFade preset or fader position), or some sub-set of the playback state (for example, only the A and B Sound presets). Once captured and stored (assigned to a MIDI note number), this combination can be recalled using either the on-screen keyboard or with a MIDI controller.
To capture and assign a combination to a MIDI note number:
1 Edit Synchronic's Sound, Playback, Effect, and XFade parameters and select presets as desired.
3 Click the Assign button. The Assign button illuminates and the on-screen keyboard’s keys display their module assignment icons (see MIDI Key Assignment Icons).
5 Click the MIDI key on the on-screen keyboard (or press the corresponding key on your MIDI keyboard).
The current state of the assign-enabled modules will be stored and assigned to the selected key and corresponding MIDI note number.
If a MIDI key is used to recall a combination that does not include all modules, the modules that are not included in the combination will remain as they were. For example, a combination that only includes A and B Sounds presets will have no effect on the state of the Playback, Effect, or XFade modules.
A Synchronic combination need not consist of changes in all Synchronic modules. When the Assign button is enabled, the Sound, Playback, Effect, and XFade modules display an Assign Enable button. A module only displays its Assign Enable button in Performance mode.
In Assign mode, the on-screen keyboard displays icons to show which modules to which a key is assigned. There are five different colored icons for Sound A, Sound B, Playback, Effect, and XFade.
Forces recalled combinations to wait and start at the beginning of the next bar instead of the next beat or slice.
