Controls
The Track Mixer > View > MIDI Track Components menu allows you to switch the display
of the different MIDI Channel Strip controls on or off.
Bank
If your sound source “understands” bank select events, you can choose the bank
number for each of the 16 MIDI channels. Please remember that not all synthesizers
support bank select events. You can use several different bank select formats (see
“Defining Custom Bank Selects” on page 218).
Program
The Program pull-down menu is used to select a sound by name. Each channel has its
own pull-down menu. The top row selects programs for odd-numbered MIDI channels
(1, 3, 5 … 15), and the bottom row is used for even-numbered channels (2, 4 … 16).
To select the sound for a MIDI channel:
1
Click-hold the sound name.
2
A pull-down menu opens, containing all GM sound names.
3
Select a sound from the menu, and release the mouse button. Logic selects the sound
in the sound module.
Volume
You can use the volume fader to control the level of each individual channel. Controller
7 is sent.
Mute
The Mute button switches the volume of the channel between zero and the current
fader position. In practice, this means that if the button is “down”, the channel is muted.
If you switch the Mute button off, the current fader position (and value) is used.
If you want to mute a channel:
1
Click the Mute button of the desired channel.
2
Click the button again to reactivate the channel.
Pan
The Pan knob allows you to directly control the pan position of the sound.
To control the pan position of a sound:
1
Click-hold the Pan knob.
2
Move the mouse up and down. The knob moves according to the mouse position.
Note: Clicking a fader or knob while holding Option resets the value to a neutral value.
The neutral value is zero for all controls except Volume (#7) = 100, Panorama (#10),
Balance (#8), Resonance (#71), Release Time (#72), Attack Time (#73) and Cutoff
Frequency (#74)—all of which have a default value of 64 (center position).
