84 SAMPLITUDE QUICKSTART
If sound cannot be heard when the keys on your device are played, then monitoring likely
needs to be activated. Switch on the loudspeaker button (MIDI thru) for the respective MIDI
track.
By right clicking the "Moni." button the transport control, you will have access to the
behavior of the recording and monitoring buttons. If you activate the options "Switch to
automatic MIDI recording for current track" and "Automatic MIDI monitoring (Thru)
during recording", then the respectively selected MIDI tracks will be immediately activated
for the recording and monitoring will be switched on for the input signal. If you want to
record multiple MIDI tracks simultaneously, then deactivate the option "Automatic MIDI
recording on current track".
If you still don't hear anything when you play the keys, please make sure that the MIDI out
channel of your MIDI keyboard matches the channel in in the track editor of the selected
MIDI track.
Please also ensure that your MIDI synthesizer is sending to the same channel that you have
selected for the channel out in the track editor.
Note: Many drum computers send to MIDI channel 10.
MIDI recording modes
The following MIDI record modes are available: normal, overdub, and replace. The
different modes determine how the newly recorded MIDI files will be added to the VIP.
You can specify the settings for MIDI Record Modes in the transport control. Click on the
arrow on the left beside the "Close" button in the transport control to display this section.
Alternatively, you can select the MIDI recording modes from "MIDI record" mode in the
"MIDI menu -> MIDI record mode".
Normal: Recording mode matches that of the audio recording. A new MIDI object is
created on top of the existing object at every recording. The old object remains intact. This
way, you can record multiple takes of a passage and then compare them in the take
manager (view page 135) later on.
Overdub: The data is recorded into an already existing object, and present and newly
recorded MIDI data is mixed together.
