In addition, the following options affect
how MIDI data is recorded in Pro Tools.
◆ The Input Filter allows you to filter out
certain MIDI messages that you may not
want to record, such as polyphonic after-
touch or System Exclusive data. For more
information, see “MIDI Input Filter” on
page 103.
◆ Input Quantize, when enabled, automat-
ically quantizes (time corrects) all MIDI
notes that are recorded. For more informa-
tion, see “Input Quantize” on page 104.
Enabling Input Devices
(Macintosh Only)
To record from a MIDI controller in
Pro Tools, the device must be enabled in
the Input Devices dialog. You can also use
this dialog to make sure unwanted notes
from certain devices, such as drum ma-
chines or arpeggiators, are not recorded.
▲ In order to use control surfaces, like the
Mackie HUI, they
must be enabled in the Input
Devices dialog.
▲ In order for Pro Tools to sync to MMC, the
MMC source must be enabled in the Input De-
vices dialog.
To enable input devices:
1 Choose MIDI > Input Devices.
2 In the Input Devices dialog, select the
MIDI devices you will record from. Also,
make sure any devices that will be used as a
control surface are also selected.
3 Deselect any devices you want to ignore
while recording MIDI.
4 When you are finished, click OK.
