Please disregard the MIDI mappings described in the v1. 0 manual. 1: MIDI Channel mapping summary · Channels 1. . 8 are mapped to Engines 1. . 8 · Channel 9 is broadcast to all Engines ("Omni" mode) · Channel 10 is the "Drum Map" channel ­ all pads from all engines are mapped across notes 0­127 · Channel 11 controls the currently selected engine in the GURU user interface · Channel 12 contains special commands and the ability to select Pads, Patterns and Engines for editing · Channels 13-16 are reserved for future use. [. . . ] Please note that selecting Pads and Patterns is not the same as playing them using the relevant MIDI notes on channels 1-8, 9 and 11. However, if you use the `Selected Pad follows MIDI input' and `Pattern Editor follows currently playing pattern' settings, playing pads and patterns on channels 1-8, 9 and 11 also selects them.

C-2 0 Channel 12 MIDI CC assignments Edit Scopes: Latching (L) and Momentary (M) Edit Scopes are used as modifiers allowing you to edit parameters across all layers on the current pad, all pads in the current group and all pads in the current engine. Momentary and latching control are provided for Edit Scopes. Momentary controls must be held down while you adjust a control in order to operate. When the note is released, the Edit Scope returns to normal ­ layer only. Latching controls do not require you to hold down the MIDI note for the Edit Scope to operate. [. . . ] Of course, as long as the `Ignore host transport and tempo' setting is not enabled, GURU is synchronized to the host transport. Therefore, whatever you use to control your host's transport also controls GURU's synchronized transport. 9: MTC sync ­ standalone version only The GURU standalone application is capable of synchronizing to MIDI TimeCode (MTC). To enable this function, enable the `Sync to MTC' option on the GURU standalone application's menu-bar: · On Windows, this is a menu called `Preferences' · On Mac, use the GURU menu-bar item If you are using GURU as a plugin and need to synchronize to an external source, you must use the host's sync functions. 1 [. . . ]
