Recording from MIDI Devices
The MIDI Inputs for record-enabled MIDI and Instrument tracks determine what MIDI data is recorded. MIDI Inputs can be set to a specific device (port) and channel, or they can be set to All, where all channels for all devices are merged to the track.
MIDI and Instrument tracks do not contain multiple channels and always play back on the track’s assigned MIDI output device and channel. Multiple MIDI devices and channels can be simultaneously recorded to multiple tracks.
Additionally, the following options affect how MIDI data is recorded in Pro Tools:
• The MIDI Input Filter can filter out MIDI messages that you may not want to record, such as Polyphonic Aftertouch or System Exclusive data. For more information, see
“MIDI Input Filter” on page 245.
• Input Quantize, when enabled, automatically quantizes (time corrects) all MIDI notes that are recorded. For more information, see
“Input Quantize” on page 246.
