Recording System Exclusive
Data
Pro Tools supports recording and playing Sys-
tem Exclusive data (Sysex) with MIDI tracks.
This allows you to use MIDI tracks in Pro Tools
to store patch and configuration data for your
MIDI devices, or to record real-time Sysex
changes for a particular parameter of a MIDI de-
vice that cannot be controlled by a standard
MIDI controller.
To record a Sysex dump at the beginning of a MIDI
track:
1 Make sure that the MIDI OUT for the device
sending the Sysex is connected to your MIDI in-
terface’s MIDI IN.
2 Configure a MIDI track for recording. Refer to
“Configuring MIDI Tracks for Recording” on
page 180.
3 Put Pro Tools in normal Nondestructive
Record mode. In the Operations menu, deselect
Destructive Record, Loop Record, and Quick-
Punch.
4 In the MIDI Input Filter, enable recording of
System Exclusive data.
5 If you have not done so already, record enable
the MIDI track by clicking its Record Enable but-
ton.
6 Enable Wait for Note in the Transport win-
dow.
7 In the Transport window, click Return to Zero
so the start and end times are cleared. This en-
sures that you’ll start recording from the begin-
ning of the track.
8 When you are ready to begin recording, click
Record in the Transport window.
