Recording MIDI Notes
If you press and release a key on your synthesizer or on another MIDI keyboard, the following
messages are recorded:
Note On (key down)
Note Off (key up)
MIDI channel
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.
