User Guide

• Using a MIDI device connected to a MIDI input, you can trigger commands in Adobe Audition. For example, you
can assign the Play command in Adobe Audition to the C4 note on your MIDI keyboard. (See “Enable MIDI-
triggered shortcuts” on page 270.)
• Using MIDI outputs and inputs, you can send and receive SMPTE/MIDI timecode (MTC), synchronizing multi-
track playback and recording with other hardware or software. (See “Synchronizing with SMTPE” on page 209.)
