About this chapter
In this chapter you will learn how to record MIDI. You can record MIDI with vir-
tual instruments, i. e. a synthesizer inside your computer, or using a hardware
keyboard. This chapter describes how to use virtual instruments.
Creating an instrument track

ment option.
The Add Instrument Track dialog opens.
2. On the Instrument pop-up menu, select “HALion Sonic SE”, and click the
“Add Track” button.
An instrument track is created.
3. In the track list, click on the new track to select it.
4. In the Inspector, double-click in the name field of the instrument track
(HALion Sonic SE 01) and change it to “Strings”.
