"In" and "Out" in the Track Editor allow you to assign a special "Receive" and
"Send" channel to every track 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 11.5
Producer will receive all MIDI 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.
 Replace: The data is recorded to an existing object and any MIDI data is
overwritten.
After you have selected MIDI record mode, you can prepare the corresponding
track by clicking on the "R" button for recording. Now start recording by
clicking on the "Record" button in the transport control.
