OTHER APPLICATIONS OF THE TRIGGER IO The Trigger IO can be used for a variety of applications which use MIDI as their control protocol. For example, the Trigger IO can be used to trigger melodic sounds on sound modules or VST instruments. This means that you can play pitched instruments, such as vibraphones, marimbas, xylophone, even a piano or a violin, straight from the Trigger IO. As you have already seen throughout this manual, the Trigger IO uses MIDI Note information to trigger events, such as drum hits. However, MIDI Notes also represent actual musical notes and pitches (much like keys on a piano). This allows pitched content to be played from MIDI devices (such as the Trigger IO). For this reason, we include a handy chart which shows you how MIDI Note Numbers correspond to musical pitches (as shown on a piano keyboard). The musical pitches are followed by their corresponding MIDI Note Numbers in ( ). You can use this chart to help you quickly setup the Trigger IO for working with pitched content. 22
