The Tools screen is the home for global settings that apply across presets. This is where
you can adjust the Headphone volume and turn on the metronome. Push INFO to cycle
through the available settings pages. Turn a knob to adjust the value of the nearest
setting.

MIDI Devices

Blackbox is designed to work with MIDI devices to offer a more tactile input mode and a bigger keyboard. Plug your
MIDI input device into either the Device USB jack or the MIDI In TRS jack. If you are having trouble getting MIDI to work
through the TRS jack, please read the
1010music.com.
By default, blackbox is configured so that the pads and sequences can be triggered by your MIDI device on any and all
MIDI channels. You can configure a specific channel by setting the GlobalMIDI parameter on the TOOLS screen.
The tables below show how the MIDI note numbers map to the blackbox pad and sequence triggers. The range for
pads is Note 36 (usually C2) through Note 51 (usually D#3/Eb3). The range for triggering sequences is Note 52 (usually

E3), through Note 67 (usually G4). You may need to shift your MIDI device up or down octaves to reach these notes.
You can also configure a specific pad to be played in KEYS mode via MIDI by assigning a MIDI channel to the PAD on
the pad's parameters screen. Push PADS, select the desired pad and then push INFO until you see the parameter page
with the setting for MIDI. Assign a specific channel to this pad and now your MIDI device will pitch shift this pad to play
varying notes that can be recorded into a sequence. You will need to use a different channel to trigger pads and
sequences, which you can define on the TOOLS page as the GlobalMIDI setting. You will need to switch MIDI channels
on your MIDI device if you want to switch between triggering pads and sequences, and playing notes for a single pad.
