point from which you will scroll through
the patches.
4 If desired, enter a value for the number of
seconds that will elapse between each pro-
gram change.
5 Select the option for Increment Patch.
After the specified number of seconds,
Pro Tools selects the next patch and trans-
mits the program change to the track’s as-
signed MIDI device. As desired, play your
MIDI controller to audition the new
patches.
System Exclusive Events
System Exclusive (sysex) events can be re-
corded to MIDI tracks in Pro Tools (see “Re-
cording System Exclusive Data” on
page 112). Once the events are recorded,
they appear in the track’s playlist as blocks
when the Display Format is set to Sys Ex.
While the contents of recorded System Ex-
clusive events cannot be directly edited in
Pro Tools, the events can be moved or
nudged, copied and pasted, or deleted.
To move a sysex event:
1 Set the MIDI track’s Display Format to
Sys Ex.
2 With the Grabber, click on the region
and drag left or right.
If the Edit mode is set to Grid, the dragged
event snaps to the nearest Grid boundary.
If the Edit mode is set to Spot, the Spot di-
alog opens.
☞ The placement of sysex event blocks can
also be adjusted with Shift (see “Shift Com-
mand” on page 188) or Nudge (see “Nudging”
on page 186).
To delete one or more sysex events:
1 With the track’s Display Format set to
Sys Ex, click on the sysex event with the
Grabber to select it.
– or –
If the region contains other sysex events
you want to delete, select the entire region
with the Grabber (when the track is dis-
playing regions).
2 Choose Edit > Clear to remove the se-
lected events from the track.
✽ Individual sysex event blocks can also be
deleted by Option-clicking (Macintosh) or Alt-
clicking (Windows) them with the Pencil tool.
