00:00okay so welcome to another guy on this
00:02channel and this one is about the digit
00:04act or digitag midi tracks now
00:06everything on this guide is in chapters
00:07so if you look at the description or the
00:09timeline you can jump to a section or
00:11skip the ones you don't want so if you
00:13like this please like And subscribe and
00:15if you have the money and you want to
00:16buy me a coffee you can go to The Links
00:19at the description so on this one we
00:20will just talk about the eight midi
00:22tracks that you get right here I'm not
00:24going to discuss everything you know all
00:26the other functions that we have on this
00:27device because I already created videos
00:30for that you just can go to the cards or
00:32check the links in the description and
00:34you will find links for the other
00:36sections of this device okay so you get
00:39eight midi tracks right the 9 10 11 12
00:4213 14 15 and 16. all of them all of them
00:47are midi tracks the other ones are just
00:49you know the usual soundtracks that you
00:51get with the device with the midi tracks
00:54you can trigger notes you can trigger
00:56chords up to four notes and you know you
00:59can control the velocity City
01:00probability you can do pitch bend after
01:02touch so you can still do you know
01:05pretty much everything that you do with
01:07the other the other sounds you know you
01:09can do in terms of locking you can do
01:11param blocking on the midi tracks if you
01:13wish now you can use the midi tracks in
01:15different ways it depends on how you
01:17connect your device in this case what
01:19I'm doing I'm connecting the midi out to
01:22someplace else now in this case this
01:24could be in your scenario could be a
01:27splitter or maybe you could go to a
01:29synthesizer right you can do that or
01:31maybe a splitter where you go to
01:33different synthesizers or different uh
01:35different uh Hardwares or you can simply
01:37connect it to your interface and go to
01:40your DAW and use it you know on your Daw
01:42so in this case I'm using a DOT so this
01:44is going out and it's going into the
01:47interface midi in what I can do I can
01:50use the audio out of this device and now
01:52I have eight midi channels that I can
01:55use on my Daw to use maybe eight
01:58different plugins alright so it's just
01:59it's just a great thing now I'm going to
02:01be using the doll for Simplicity or
02:03Simplicity but you might connect it to
02:05one synth or maybe you use a splitter to
02:08go to different synths the concept of
02:10the channels and how you set everything
02:11up is just pretty much the same okay so
02:14the first thing we need to discuss when
02:15we as we're standing on a midi track is
02:18how we can you know send messages from
02:21this midi track and everything starts at
02:24this Source right here now since I'm
02:26connecting this to my interface uh you
02:29need to go to your door if you're using
02:31the DAW and recognize the digi or Digi
02:34tagged as a device so if I to show you
02:37I'm using bit Wick right here I created
02:40a controller it says digidack this is
02:42the name I've added and it's just
02:43listening to whatever that goes in into
02:46my audio interface which is a you know a
02:48PreSonus uh interface
02:51is recognizing the digidac and it's
02:54listening to the midi out of this
02:56remember it's out to the end of your
02:58interface or whatever thing that you're
03:00using this is ready to send the messages
03:03so if I go to a track right here I'm
03:05creating a track if I play something and
03:07I show you the doll that is that the
03:10sounds go up on the first channel but on
03:12the second Channel you know it's just
03:14empty but if I go to the configuration
03:16right here we get the digidect and then
03:18we have we have the 16 channels
03:20available for the digitag right so we
03:22can just choose the channels now the
03:24problem is now how can we set up the
03:27different channels on the device so like
03:29I said before everything starts on this
03:30with the source and I'm standing on the
03:33number nine so right here you get the
03:35channel the bank and you know you can
03:38select a bunch of things but they are
03:40just like crossed so you cannot use them
03:42so to enable the channel so we can
03:44select the channel for this midi track
03:46you need to go to function and then the
03:48data entry you just need to tap it and
03:51it's going to enable this if you if you
03:53move it it will not enable you need to
03:55tap now right here it's going to give
03:56you all the channels that you can use
03:58and you need to select the channel where
04:01you're going to be spitting meaty from
04:03you know this track since this one is
04:05the nine I'm going to be spinning midi
04:08information to the channel number nine
04:10so then if I go to my door I will need
04:12to listen for this if I go to the digi
04:14deck and play a key notice that it's
04:16receiving midi so you know what now we
04:19need to do is we need to say dude we're
04:21going to be getting uh sounds you know
04:24media information from that channel and
04:26I'm going to do it like that so now when
04:28I play it notice that I'm getting it and
04:31if I open a plugin I'm going to be using
04:33the Cherry audio uh dco which is a Juno
04:36kind of an emulation every time I play a
04:40I'm just you know getting the midi
04:43information so that's it you know it's
04:44just a very simple straightforward thing
04:47to do you just set your channel you go
04:49to your Dawn you select the channel and
04:51that's it now if you're working with the
04:54hardware or media synthesizer well
04:56you'll need to go to that synth find out
04:59to to which you know channel that synth
05:02works or you need to adjust it to listen
05:04to the midi channel number nine in this
05:07case or maybe if your synth it's uh it's
05:10listening to I don't know channel number
05:11one you cannot change it well you need
05:13to adjust it from here but it all
05:15depends on the hardware that you're
05:17using now then we have the other options
05:19and depends on what you're using this
05:21options are going to be useful or not
05:23now you need to do the same thing you
05:25need to do function and tap to enable
05:28now the bank is going to be the bank
05:30change message the s bank is going to be
05:32sub Bank change message depends again on
05:35what you're using this is super useful
05:37for you if not you're not going to use
05:38it the program is the program change
05:41message and all of them you just you
05:43know can change it to receive messages
05:45for now I'm just gonna turn them off I'm
05:47not going to use them now then at the
05:49bottom you have the pitch Bend then it's
05:51going to be the after touch then you
05:53have the mod will and this one is going
05:55to be the breath control if I play
05:57something this one is going to be the
05:58pitch Bend if I move it you know we can
06:01control it like that
06:04if you want to by doing function you
06:06know you go back to the beginning this
06:08one is the after Touch of your syntha is
06:10using after touch you can use it and
06:12this one is going to be the mod will the
06:16synthesizer we need to set up the mod
06:17wheel but it's not doing anything but if
06:19you do if you move it it's gonna use the
06:21mod wheel as a modulation now all of
06:24this you can do param Locks it works
06:27just like this sounds and again if you
06:29really want to use the power of the midi
06:31tracks you need to understand how the
06:33rest of the device works so if I go to
06:35grid mode and remember I'm standing on
06:38the on the track number nine I can just
06:40maybe do something like that and just
06:44something like that maybe not that much
06:47I'm gonna be doing something like this
06:48and maybe right here I can go to the
06:51pitch vent and add a parameter lock
06:55right so we can do this
06:58super cool right so when we add a
07:00trigger or we just play it we just can
07:03hear one single note so all this it's
07:06going to be happening you know on the
07:07trigger section now you can still go to
07:10function and do drag and you're going to
07:13be enabling the chromatic mode
07:16and you can play remember up to four
07:19different notes so if you're recording
07:21live you can just use your keyboard and
07:25record that way the other options right
07:28here are very very simple and you get
07:30the same options you're gonna get out of
07:31the correct mode the other options that
07:33you get right here at the bottom are the
07:35themes that you get when you go to you
07:38know a simple soundtrack you get your
07:41LFO trigger your probability if you want
07:44to add a step right there and use a
07:45condition you can it's gonna let you you
07:49know it's gonna let you do it now I'm
07:50just gonna keep on the 100s I'm not
07:53going to use conditions then you can
07:54choose the length and the velocity the
07:56only thing that really changes right
07:58here is going to be the keyboard that we
07:59have right here at the top so we're
08:01going to get out of the recording mode
08:02I'm just going to be playing this so
08:05when I play it I just have one single
08:07note and the note is going to be the C5
08:10that one that's going to be your root
08:13now if you're recording in chromatic
08:16mode you just don't give an f right
08:18because you can just do it like that but
08:21if you're not if you're just entering
08:22steps you know like this for example or
08:25I'm gonna do something like that
08:28you're doing something like that well
08:30you're gonna need to use param blocks to
08:33change the different notes
08:35right so this is how it works now if I
08:38I'm gonna stand right here on the just
08:40the number one if I hook go and hold
08:42this all these three knobs are going to
08:45be offsetting the notes since you can
08:46use four from the root notes so it's
08:49going to start in C5 where it's going to
08:52be the second note well maybe it's going
08:56the third node is going to be right here
09:00so we can do a chord you know just to
09:03try it and then I'm going to be doing
09:08so this is how you use the different
09:10notes you offset it from the root right
09:13so that's why your route is so important
09:15if I offset the root but this is just
09:19like moving everything it's because
09:21everything works depending on the route
09:23that you have right here
09:26now just like I said before you just can
09:28go crazy right here maybe I can go I had
09:31a step right there and I can do the same
09:33thing maybe on this one I'm gonna be
09:36just doing doing something maybe like
09:39that and you just can you know tailor
09:42and just create your own different
09:49and maybe with this uh patch it doesn't
09:51sound that cool let me bring something
09:54that sounds a little bit better
09:56all right they're gonna like that so
09:58again I'm gonna be adding a step right
09:59here and right here you're just gonna go
10:01crazy this is where you know the fun
10:05maybe on this one I just want the root
10:09but on this one I want to
10:13no just do intervals if you want to
10:18um this one maybe I'm gonna be going an
10:21octave down or something like that since
10:22we are in C gonna go
10:27I'm gonna be adding a trigger right here
10:29and I guess it this point you just you
10:31get the idea I'm gonna be going one up
10:34and this one's gonna be around there
10:40and just like that you just program your
10:42whole pattern you know by doing param
10:45locks but changing you know to different
10:47chords and so on and so on and so on so
10:51the next thing besides the source and
10:52the trigger which is super important is
10:55going to be that you can't send CC
10:58messages to whatever it is that you're
11:00using if it's a hardware synth well you
11:03will need to go to the manual and just
11:04check which cc is going to control
11:07filter or you know whatever you just
11:09need to go to the manual to that
11:10Hardware on the when you use you're
11:13using a Daw you just can do midi learn
11:15right so uh right here if I go to the
11:18filter this is where we're going to be
11:19you know adding all of all those CC's
11:21and modulating but the thing is that you
11:24need to select which CC message the in
11:27this case the channel number nine is
11:29going to be spitting out so if I go to
11:31the amp this section is where you select
11:35the CC message so by going here you just
11:39can go all the way up and at some point
11:41notice it says CC's and at the bottom
11:44you get the number so this again it's
11:47going to Output CC messages and you
11:51right here you just select whatever
11:52number you would like to use and this is
11:55the same for all the other controls
11:56right so you just need to make a
11:58selection and just select the CC that
12:01you want to configure for the other
12:03device to you know to listen so once you
12:05do this you are able to go to the filter
12:08and whatever you do here is going to be
12:11outputting information or cc's in this
12:13case to whatever number that you're
12:15selecting right here whatever CC's that
12:17you have right here if I go to filter
12:19how can we enable this it's the same way
12:22than before function and I'm going to be
12:25maybe bringing the the first one so now
12:27this can be modulated I'm going to be
12:29doing something like that we can go up
12:31and we can go down now you need to
12:33remember that all this depends on the
12:36value that you're trying to modulate if
12:39the knob is all the way down and we are
12:41trying to control the filter of the
12:43synthesizer if it's all the way down
12:45you're just going to be chopping the
12:46whole sound nothing is going to come out
12:48so maybe keeping this value all the way
12:50up because cause you know the filter is
12:55now if I go to my door and do some midi
12:58mapping this is very simple depends on
13:00your plugging and your doll I'm gonna go
13:02to MIDI and the only thing you need to
13:05do is just midi learn I'm going to be
13:06learning and I'm going to be modulating
13:09maybe the frequency and now you need to
13:11move the knob where you want to you know
13:13assign it there you go it's just
13:15assigned so I'm going to stop learning
13:18and I'm gonna get out of this mode and
13:20now when I move this knob it's going to
13:22be controlling the frequency right it's
13:25the pretty simple thing to do now just
13:28like before you can just map whatever
13:30you want right here but you can do
13:32program blocking or just control you
13:34know the frequency of the whole you know
13:36synthesizer with this knob pretty easy
13:38to understand I thought what we wanted
13:41to do some parameter locking well yeah
13:43you can I'm gonna go here the value is
13:46going to be like that maybe on this one
13:48it's gonna be a little bit less and we
13:50just get you know this same
13:52possibilities that we get when we use
13:54sound logs and the trauma nuts unlocks
13:59and we get the same thing which is
14:02really cool I can even go right here and
14:05do a param log for that one that it's
14:08and again you need to understand how
14:11this how the device Works in order to
14:15you know make use of this what
14:19so that's it pretty much you know you
14:21just select your Source map it to
14:24whatever midi Channel you want to map it
14:26you select your trigger if you want to
14:28you use the chromatic mode and uh that's
14:31it you know it's just gonna work you if
14:32you want to control some of the params
14:34with CC's you can right remember on your
14:37Hardware you need to read the manual and
14:39see uh you know find out which CC
14:42controls what on your hardware and
14:44that's pretty much about it you know
14:46there's just a very simple thing now
14:48then you get another Foe and the LFO
14:50works just like a normal elfo when we
14:54you know when we use the sounds right
14:55it's just you know completely the same
14:58the only difference is that on the midi
15:01tracks you don't get too well of foes on
15:03the on the other sounds you get one and
15:06you get two lfos but on the midi track
15:09you just get you know a single LFO but
15:12everything else in terms of the LFO it
15:14just works exactly the same as the
15:17soundtracks okay so if you like this and
15:19you learned something new remember to
15:22like And subscribe if you want to buy me
15:24a coffee just to say thanks you can go
15:27to The Links at the description you have
15:29links for people you have YouTube things
15:31and you have patreon maybe you can be a
15:33one month Patron and buy me a coffee
15:35that way also remember I've recorded
15:37other videos about this device go to the
15:40cards or check the Links at the
15:42description all the videos are there and
15:45if you're starting you know with this
15:46device and you're just a little bit
15:47confused how everything works uh you
15:49need to go to the one that says Deep
15:51dive on that one I start from this
15:54scratch I assume that you bought you
15:56bought your device and you're new to the
15:59election world and I'm you know gonna
16:01I'm gonna take you all the way so you
16:04can understand how the device works and
16:06then you can go you know learn the media
16:08and do the other things but you know you
16:10need to go there if you're starting with
16:13your first electron or your digit act
16:15right so that's it so see you on the
