At this point, you can try to record some signal
from the digital device (if it is a sound source,
such as a keyboard or CD player), or try inserting
it onto a pre-recorded track (if it’s an effects pro-
cessor), and so on.
MIDI Connections
The two MIDI ports on Eleven Rack let you take
advantage of all the MIDI features of Pro Tools,
including recording and editing MIDI data for to
automate controls on Eleven Rack, and/or com-
pose using virtual or hardware MIDI sound
sources.
If you need additional MIDI ports you can add a
compatible USB-based MIDI interface to your
system.
To connect a MIDI device to Eleven Rack:
1 Connect a standard 5-pin MIDI cable from the
MIDI Out port of your device to the MIDI In
port on the back of Eleven Rack.
2 If the device has a MIDI input and you plan to
send MIDI signals to it from Pro Tools, connect
another MIDI cable from the MIDI Out port on
the back of Eleven Rack to the MIDI In port of
your device.
If you get no signal or a compromised signal,
double-check that Pro Tools and your exter-
nal device are set to the same sample rate and
digital I/O format, and that Pro Tools is set
to receive sync from the external device.
