Assigning MIDI Track Input
Pro Tools lets you assign specific MIDI ports and
channels to a MIDI track input. The default selec-
tion of All receives all incoming MIDI data from
all ports on all channels. Use the MIDI Input selec-
tor to specify a MIDI port and channel for input.
To assign a MIDI track input:
Click the track’s MIDI Input selector and assign
a port and channel for MIDI input. Channels al-
ready assigned to another track appear in bold.
Assigning MIDI Track Output
Pro Tools lets you assign specific MIDI ports and
channels to a MIDI track output. The default selec-
tion of none sends MIDI data to no port on any
channel. Use the MIDI Output selector to specify a
MIDI port and channel for output.
To assign a MIDI track (and all its clips) to a
specific MIDI device channel:
Click the track’s MIDI Output selector and as-
sign a port and channel for MIDI output. Chan-
nels already assigned to another track appear in
bold.
