6.9 THE MIDI SEQUENCER

The Octatrack MKII MIDI sequencer has 8 dedicated MIDI tracks. It is used to control

external, MIDI equipped, gear. Each MIDI track can trigger a chord of up to 4 notes with

adjustable velocity and length, control pitch bend and aftertouch as well as 10 freely as-

signable control change parameters. Any MIDI channel can be assigned to the MIDI tracks

and several tracks can share the same channel.

The MIDI tracks function almost the same way as the audio tracks. Parameter locks, LFO

modulation, copy and paste commands are available. Each MIDI track also features micro

timing, individual track length, and time signature settings. The main dierence is that no

sound is being generated by the MIDI tracks, only data that is transmitted through the MIDI

OUT port. MIDI track parameters cannot be assigned to scenes.

Press the [MIDI] key to access the MIDI mode. The [MIDI] key will light up, and the tracks

will now reﬂect the MIDI tracks and the sequencer data that belongs to them.
