MIDI Output Per Pad

midi output - each pad can send MIDI notes to external gear

why use this:

  • sequence external synths from ko ii
  • control DAW instruments
  • layer ko ii samples with hardware synths

setup midi output per pad:

  1. [shift] + [sound] → navigate to MID page with [-/+]
  2. x-knob: MIDI channel (1-16)
  3. y-knob: root note (what note it sends)

how it works:

  • any sequence recorded on that pad sends MIDI
  • if in keys mode, different pads send different notes
  • you can combine sample playback AND midi output

example setup:

  • assign group D pads to different MIDI channels
  • group D becomes your MIDI sequencer
  • groups A-C play internal samples

tip: a pad can have NO sample but still send MIDI useful for sequencing external gear without using sample memory
