6. MIDI FUNCTIONS

6.3. Real-time Transposition of Sequence

In preset or pattern mode, incoming midi notes will transpose the current sequence.

MAGMA also processes incoming velocity values. They directly control the volume of the sequence current-

ly active.

The sequence currently active may also be processed using pitch and mod wheels of a MIDI controller 

device connected.

 

6.4. MIDI Controller Processing

MAGMA sends and processes incoming MIDI controller data. This way, all functions listed below can be 

remote-controlled by a MIDI controller device or MIDI sequencer. On the other hand, knob tweaking perfor-

med on MAGMA can be recorded into a MIDI sequencer as well.

MAGMA´s MIDI controller processing is always active and thus does not have to be enabled or disabled.

6.5. Program change processing

MAGMA receives bank select and program-change data. Use bank select commands #1 to #4 to access 

the four preset or pattern banks. Use program change commands #1 to #64 to access the 64 presets / pat-

terns in the bank currently selected.

6.6. Sending out sequencer notes

MAGMA´s on-board sequencer transmits the notes programmed into a preset or pattern. Note numbers 

(pitch) and durations are transmitted. This way, you can record a sequence into an external MIDI sequen-

cer.

As pointed out earlier – please make sure to avoid MIDI loops!
