MIDIBits Interface
The MIDIBits main interface is split into three
main areas. The top-left area of the script
contains controls and options related to
playback and recorded. The bottom-left area is
where you can configure and manipulate your
sequences. The right area contains a visual
piano roll that renders your current sequence
visually.
Playback & Recording
The top-most area of the MIDIBits interface
allows you to configure the recording and
playback of sequences. A label at the top of
the panel shows the current mode - this can
be clicked to alternate between Playback and
Record mode.
Playback mode
Bypass Play zones
When Bypass Play zones is enabled MIDIBits
temporarily ignores all input and Kontakt acts
as if MIDIBits has not been loaded. When
MIDIBits is active, it takes control of all MIDI
input. Sometimes you want to restore default
behaviour (to experiment with patches or
practice a performance).
Autoscroll piano roll + play cursor
When this option is enabled, the piano roll
on the right of the interface will scroll when
the cursor moves of screen. This allows you
to follow your performance visually. Disabling
this option may improve performance on
lower spec workstations.
Channel
Specify the channel that MIDIBits will listen
on. Only notes that are received on this MIDI
channel will trigger your configured zones.
Memory: %
Shows how much memory MIDIBits has to
store notes from your performance. MIDIBits
has no limits on the length of a sequence.
However, Kontakt’s current restrictions mean
that MIDIBits can store roughly 1000 notes
of information per instance. You can load
5 instances of MIDIBits simultaneously and
save as many sequence presets to disk as
your machine can hold.

the respective notes of the chord. When playing

options that can be edited per-note:
Channel
The MIDI channel this note should output to.
Note
The key that this note should play.

The velocity that this note should play at.

root note, 2 and 3 for the other parts of the
triad.
Changing these options will instantly affect
the sequence and update the piano roll for
the note you’re editing. If you wish to update
multiple notes you can click the ! button to
