Every midi track corresponds to a - different midi channel. - This setup is the most flexible and should always be used if - possible. - - \subsection{Extended Setup} - - \index{several midi tracks for a midi channel} - In an extended setup more than one midi track is routed to the - same midi channel. Of course a midi controller is associated with - a midi channel so you cannot different controller values for - each individual track. - - \subsection{Complex Setup} - \index{multiple devices connected to one midi connector} - We call a setup complex if there is more than one midi device - connected to a midi connector. - Every device uses one ore more of the available 16 midi channel. - You have to make sure the channels do not overlap. For this - the midi devices must be configured to only listen on their - assigned channels. - Midi messages which are not bound to a midi channel (Sysex - messages) can be send to inividual devices by assigning a - different device id for every device. This device id can be - configure in \M\ to adress specific devices. - - Because midi connections have only a very limited - bandwidth \index{midi bandwidth}, the complex setup should be - avoided. - - \section{Midi Inputs} - Midi Inputs are repesented as a track in the mixer and in the - arranger. - - A midi input has the following properties: - - \blank[big] - \Input{Alsa Port:} this is the route to an ALSA input port. - A ALSA port can be connected to more than one midi input. - \Input{Plugins:} midi events read from the ALSA port can be routed - through several midi plugins. Available plugins can - filter or modify midi events. - \Input{Outputs:} a midi input has 16 outputs, one for every midi - channel. Every midi channel can be routed to a different - midi track. - Midi events received in a midi track do not have any - channel information anymore. - In a simple setup all channel of all midi inputs are - routed to all midi tracks. This is the default. - - \blank[big] - - \section{Midi Track} - The midi track contains all midi note on/off events. - Its represented as a strip in the mixer and as a track in the - arranger. The mixer strip representation is not very interesting - because a midi track has not many mixer relevant parameters. - For this midi tracks are not shown in the mixer by default. - - Midi track properties: - - \blank[big] - \Input{Record:} switches the track into record mode - - \Input{Monitor:} when the monitor switch is on, on record all - midi events are routed to the track output. - Attention: this can lead to a midi feed back loop. - - \Input{Mute:} mutes the track - - \Input{Solo:} ---not yet defined--- - - \Input{Input:} track inputs can be routed to midi inputs - - \Input{Output:} the track output can be routed to one or more - midi channels. Midi channels are always connected to - a midi port. - - \blank[big] - - \section{Midi Channel} - Midi channel normally contain all midi controller events. - - Midi channel properties: - - \blank[big] - - \blank[big] - - \section{Midi Port} - - \index{Midi Port} A midi port represents an external midi device - and has the following properties: - - \blank[big] - \Input{Instrument:} \index{Midi instrument} describes the properties - of an external midi instrument. The instrument can be - selected from a list of available instrument descriptions. - - \Input{Master Volume:} \index{Midi Master Volume} is a midi - controller to change the volume of all midi channels of a port. - - \Input{Device Id:} \index{Midi Device Id} if there are more than - one midi devices connected to a midi connctor then every device - must be assigned a unique device id. - The configured device id selects one of the connected devices. - - \Input{Alsa Port:} this is the route to an ALSA midi port. - A port output can be connected to more than one ALSA port. - - \blank[big] - - Every midi port has 16 midi channel. - - \section{Midi Synthesizer} - |
