Re: How to play Melodies with Machinedrum's Midi Machine?

2007-05-25 by François

Hi Nico.

Did you read the manual ? I mean, this is basic operation. 

You just need to use parameter locks. It's very simple and straightforward. Push on the 
button of your  first step, turn a knob and choose a value (in this case choose the pitch of  
the note, which is the parameter corresponding to knob A in the synthesis screen), release 
the button and away you go. 

You can do this with any parameters on any machine. 

Have fun.


François
