Setting MIDI Channels
MIDI tracks can be assigned to one or more
MIDI channels with the Device/Channel
selector. When assigned to multiple chan-
nels, all material in the track is sent to all
assigned channels.
MIDI Tracks in Pro Tools can not contain
multiple channels of MIDI data.
To assign all regions on a MIDI track to a
specific MIDI channel:
1 Click on the track’s MIDI Device/Chan-
nel Selector and assign a device and chan-
nel from the pop-up menu. Channels
already assigned to another track appear
bold in this menu.
To assign multiple destinations to a single
MIDI track, Shift-click the MIDI De-
vice/Channel Selector and select additional
channels from any device.
For details on recording and importing
MIDI data, see Chapter 10: MIDI Recording.
Adjusting Track Volume
and Pan
In the Mix window, each track has its own
Volume fader and Pan slider for adjusting
the track’s playback volume and stereo
placement. (Panning controls for audio
tracks are only available if your session is
set to Stereo Mix Outputs mode.) On audio
tracks, the volume selector controls the
output level of the track on your system’s
Audio Interface or system output jacks.
On MIDI tracks, it controls MIDI volume
(controller 7) on MIDI instruments that
support this feature. If a track has regions
with MIDI volume controller data (created
in the original sequence), its volume will be
controlled by that data.
To adjust the volume of a track:
■ Drag the slider to the desired level. It has
a range of ∞ (no output) to +6dB of gain.
To adjust the pan value of a track:
■ Drag the slider to the desired level. It has
a range of <100 (full left) to 100> (full
right).
Panning a track full right or full left sends it
to a single output channel.
