3 Activate the Record button in the Transport bar.
4 Move the Song Position Line to the desired song position.
5 Select the desired sound (program) and/or the volume/pan setting you want to use.
6 Activate the Program (or Volume and Pan) checkbox(es). Each selected event will be
sent and recorded.
7 Click the Stop button in the Transport bar to exit recording mode.
The values of the Program, Volume, and Pan parameters will not be updated every time
such control change events are played back. These parameters are initial values, when
you load a song, or use the MIDI > Insert Instrument MIDI Settings as Events command—
before you begin to record mixer automation data.
Further Parameters
You also find the following parameters in the Instrument’s Parameter Box:
Transpose
The Transpose parameter allows you to define the number of semitones that all note
events will be transposed by on output. Negative values transpose downwards.
Velocity
The Velocity parameter allows you to increase or decrease the “note on” velocities of all
note events by an amount adjustable between
−
99 and 99.
Key Limit
The two note values of the Key Limit parameter define a pitch range. All notes outside
this range will be ignored by the instrument when it plays a MIDI Region.
Vel Limit
The two values of the Vel Limit parameter define a velocity range. All notes whose
velocity is outside this range will not be played by the instrument.
Delay
The Delay parameter causes all MIDI events to be sent early or late by from
−
99 to 99
ticks. This allows you to adjust for any differences in reaction time between your
various MIDI devices. For delay effects use the Region parameter of the same name, as
this allows longer delay times.
No Transpose
If the box next to the No Transpose parameter is checked, all Regions on any tracks
played by this instrument are protected from transposition. In other words, the
Transpose Region parameter is ignored. This is very useful for instruments assigned to
drum or other multi-timbral samples, as transposition will cause the sounds rather than
the pitches to change for these instruments.
