Playing Objects via MIDI

You can play the Objects via MIDI. This is convenient if you for example have a “fader box” that can transmit MIDI Controller messages.

This is convenient if you have a limited number of “faders” or similar on your external device.

With “MIDI to All” deactivated, external control will only work on the selected Objects.
