6.5 Creating MIDI Tracks from Scratch in MASCHINEWithin MASCHINE you can create MIDI tracks from scratch for any Sound of your Project. MA-SCHINE’s MIDI automation tracks can have two purposes:▪ When playback is on, the content of these tracks is sent in real time as MIDI data via theMIDI output of the Sound (if enabled). Configuring the MIDI output of Sounds is done inthe MIDI page of the Sound’s Output properties — see section ↑7.2.5, Sending MIDI fromSounds for more information.▪ When exporting your Pattern as a MIDI file for use in another environment, MIDI automa-tion tracks will be included in the exported MIDI file.
