MIDI Preferences
Basics Section
Remove Range Selection After Opening the
MIDI/Score Editor When selected, the MIDI Edi-
tor and Score Editor open with no Edit selection.
When this option is disabled, the MIDI Editor
and Score Editor open with the current Edit se-
lection intact.
Use MIDI to Tap Tempo When enabled, you can
tap a MIDI keyboard to enter a new tempo value
into a tempo field.
Display Events as Modified by Real-Time Proper-
ties When enabled, Pro Tools displays the ef-
fects of Real-Time Properties in the Edit, MIDI
Editor, and Score Editor windows, and the MIDI
Event List.
Use F11 Key for Wait for Note When enabled,
pressing the F11 Function key puts MIDI record-
ing in Wait for Note mode.
Automatically Create Click Track in New
Sessions When enabled, Pro Tools automati-
cally creates a new click track in new sessions.
Default Thru Instrument
This option lets you set the default MIDI Thru
instrument. You can select a predefined device
from your available MIDI instruments, or select
First Selected MIDI Track to use the assigned MIDI
output of the first selected MIDI or Instrument
track. When multiple MIDI or Instrument tracks
are selected, the instrument in the selected track
that is closest to the top of the Edit window (or
closest to the left edge of the Mix window) is
used. Select None to only route MIDI Thru re-
cord enabled MIDI and Instrument tracks.
Pencil Tool Resolution When Drawing Controller
Data
This option lets you set the default resolution
for MIDI controller data created with the Pencil
tool. Setting this to a lower resolution helps
avoid creating controller data that is unneces-
sarily dense. The value range is from 1 to 100
milliseconds.
Global MIDI Playback Offset
This option lets you set an offset in samples to
compensate for MIDI latency. Entering a value
here has the same effect as setting an offset with
the MIDI Track Offsets command. Offset values
can be positive (later) or negative (earlier).
Double-Clicking a MIDI Region Opens
This option lets you specify what happens when
you double-click MIDI regions with the Grabber
tool on MIDI and Instrument tracks in the Edit
window.
MIDI Editor Opens the MIDI region in a MIDI
Editor window.
Score Editor Opens the MIDI region in the Score
Editor window.
