Details
- TE’s guide
The external MIDI track () sends its keyboard and sequencer notes to connected MIDI gear.
- TE’s guide
Gear connects through the USB-C port, or through the multi-out jack set to midi.
- TE’s guide
M2 and M3 hold four CC slots each; turning sends a slot's value, switches a slot on and picks its CC number, and the values can be sequenced and recorded.
- TE’s guide
The external MIDI track's LFO (M4) modulates the track's own parameters, such as a CC slot.
- TE’s changelog
Program changes can be parameter-locked; OS 1.1.15 fixed such locks not working.
