• Output (Out): This could be a virtual instrument (VST instrument) that
plays back the MIDI notes entered via the MIDI keyboard as sounds.
To select a VST instrument, click the small triangle next to "Out" in
the track editor and select "New instrument".
Hint: All global MIDI settings can be found in the "System" dialog ("Y"
key), submenu "MIDI".
"In" and "Out" in the track editor allow you to assign a special
"Receive" and "Send" channel for MIDI data. This is important if you
want to control an external synthesizer via a MIDI keyboard, for
example.
For instance, if your MIDI keyboard is transmitting on MIDI channel 1,
you should enter the value "1" in the "In" menu. During recording,
Samplitude 11 Producer will receive all notes transmitted on channel
1 by a MIDI keyboard.
You can generally assign a specific MIDI channel to external MIDI
synthesizers. For instance, if your external synthesizer is addressed
via MIDI channel 4, you should also enter the value 4 under "Channel
Out" in the track editor in order to be able to address the external
synthesizer via this track.
MIDI record modes
There are several methods of recording MIDI, and you can set the
MIDI record mode in the transport control.
• Normal: This recording mode corresponds to that of audio
recording, i.e. a new MIDI object is created over the existing object
for each recording process. The old object remains intact. This way
you can record multiple takes of a passage and then compare them
in the Take Manager later on.
• Overdub: The data is recorded into an already existing object, and
available and newly recorded MIDI data is mixed together.
• Multi-overdub: The data is recorded into an already existing object,
available, and newly recorded MIDI data are mixed together.
However, existing objects remain the same.
