Connecting with an external midi device

Use a TRS/MIDI connecting cable (such as a BMIDI-5-35, sold separately) or a MIDI cable (such as a BCC-1-3535, sold separately) to connect the unit to an external MIDI device (such as a MIDI-compatible keyboard or another AIRA compact device).

When you trigger this unit from a MIDI-compatible keyboard whose MIDI transmit channel is the same as the MIDI channel that’s set using the Auto MIDI Channel parameter of the P-6, you can play the sample pads of the P-6 or the [GRANULAR] pad in scale notes.

 

When you use a MIDI-compatible keyboard whose MIDI transmit channel is the same as the MIDI channel that’s set using the Sampler MIDI Channel parameter of the P-6 and play a note within the C3–B6 range (note numbers 48–95), this triggers the corresponding sample pads (bank A, sample pad [1] to bank H, sample pad [6]).

Refer to “MIDI implementation chart” for details.

MEMO

The note numbers are used to specify the sample pads.

For this reason, you can’t specify scale notes (the pitch does not change for each note).

 

The note numbers that are transmitted on the channel specified in Sampler MIDI Channel on the P-6 correspond to notes in the C3–B6 range (note numbers 48–95), which are triggered by bank A sample pad [1] through bank H sample pad [6].

Refer to “MIDI implementation chart” for details.
