Region-Based Real-Time Properties
Region-based Real-Time Properties can only be 
applied using the Real-Time Properties window 
(Event > MIDI Real-Time Properties). Real-Time 
Properties can be applied to multiple regions. 
Once Real-Time Properties have been assigned 
to a region, the region can be moved or copied 
and pasted and retain its Real-Time Properties.
Track-Based Real-Time Properties
All track-based Real-Time Properties consis-
tently apply to MIDI data throughout the entire 
track. However, regions with region-based Real-
Time Properties will take precedence over any 
track-based Real-Time Properties. You can clear 
region-based Real-Time Properties by selecting 
the region and clicking the Clear Region Proper-
ties
button in the Real-Time Properties window
(see “Writing Real-Time Properties to Tracks or 
Regions” on page 609).
For greater flexibility, when Real-Time Proper-
ties are assigned on a track basis they are actu-
ally contained in a track playlist. This lets you 
create multiple playlists containing different 
Real-Time Property settings.
Writing Real-Time Properties to
