Instrument Track MIDI Input
Pro Tools lets you assign specific MIDI ports and
channels to an Instrument tracks’ MIDI input. The
default selection of All receives all incoming MIDI
data from all ports on all channels. Use the MIDI
Input selector to specify a MIDI port and channel
for input.
Channels in use by another track input appear bold
in the MIDI Input pop-up menu.

 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.
Instrument Track MIDI Output
Pro Tools lets you assign specific MIDI ports and
channels to an Instrument tracks’ MIDI output.
The default selection of none sends MIDI data to
no device, port, or node on any channel. Use the
MIDI Output selector to specify a MIDI port and
channel for output.
Channels in use by another track input appear as
bold in the MIDI Input pop-up menu.
To assign an Instrument track MIDI output:
 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.
For information on recording and
importing MIDI data, see Chapter 22,

In addition to assigning MIDI input and out-
put for recording and playing back MIDI
data, Instrument tracks can also be used to
monitor the audio from your hardware MIDI
instruments and instrument plug-ins. See
“Signal Routing for Monitoring and Submix-
ing” on page 964.
