We will concern ourselves with the three major situations where you will be addressing things via MIDI:ġ) you are using the MODX as a MIDI Keyboard Controller – transmitting to external devicesĢ) you are recording MIDI to an external DAW or Sequencer – transmitting and playing back MIDI dataģ) you are using the MODX as a MIDI Tone Generator – receiving MIDI data We’ll begin with the 8 important parameters that you need to be familiar with when setting up the MODX to communicate via MIDI.
An important thing to know is that what the MODX sends OUT via MIDI can largely be determined by you. These messages that MODX generates for itself to interpret, can be confusing to just any connected device – therefore connecting an external device will require that you utilize the special ZONE MASTER feature (covered separately). Those messages can be recorded and played back to the MODX to recreate every move you make, both subtle and dynamic. But you need to know that the moves and gestures you make on the MODX can and do generate MIDI messages that can be documented Out via MIDI. One thing that we need to make clear is MODX can and does work internally without you ever concerning yourself with MIDI commands.
When set to communicate with external devices, knowing about MODX and how it does MIDI will be important.
