MIDI Recording Specifics
161
NOTE
Normally, the MIDI channel information is overridden by the MIDI channel setting for
the track. However, if you set the track to the Any MIDI channel, the notes will be
played back on their original channels.
Recording Continuous Messages
Pitchbend, aftertouch, and controllers, such as modulation wheel, sustain pedal,
volume, etc. are considered as MIDI continuous events, as opposed to the
momentary key down and key up messages.
You can record continuous messages together or independently from the notes,
that is, afterwards or before.
You can record continuous messages on their own tracks, separately from the
notes to which they belong. As long as you set the two tracks to the same output
and MIDI channel, it will appear to the MIDI instrument as if you made the two
recordings at the same time.
Recording Program Change Messages
When you switch from one program to another on your synthesizer or on another
MIDI keyboard, a number corresponding to that program is sent out via MIDI as a
Program Change message.
You can record Program Change Messages together or independently from the
notes, that is, afterwards or before.
You can record Program Change Messages on their own tracks, separately from
the notes to which they belong. As long as you set the two tracks to the same output
and MIDI channel, it will appear to the MIDI instrument as if you made the two
recordings at the same time.
Recording System Exclusive Messages
System Exclusive (SysEx) messages are special types of MIDI messages that are
used to send data that only makes sense to a unit of a certain make and type.
SysEx can be used to transmit a list of the numbers that make up the settings of one
or more sounds in a synth.
Reset Function
The Reset function sends out note-off messages and resets controllers on all MIDI
channels. This is sometimes necessary if you experience hanging notes, constant
vibrato, etc. when punching in and out on MIDI recordings with pitchbend or
controller data.
• To perform a MIDI reset manually, select MIDI > Reset.
