Recording from a MIDI input

The MIDI input device has a few settings that are worth checking before making re-

cordings. To access these settings in the properties panel, select the MIDI input device by

clicking on its surface (Fig. 7-5).

Figure 7-5

The MIDI input properties are described in detail in the Reference Manual. For now,

just ensure that all 16 of the numbered midi ﬁlter toggle buttons are active. Once you’ve

assigned a MIDI input, you need to send it to an instrument. This can either be a real in-

strument like a keyboard sound module, or it can be a virtual instrument inside Tracktion.

The Tracktion bundles ship with numerous virtual instruments to get you started.

To use one, drag the new ﬁlter icon to the track with the assigned midi input just as you

did with the delay ﬁlter a little while earlier. Be sure to place it before any other ﬁlters on

the track. Choose a virtual instrument ﬁlter such as the Alpha synth (Fig. 7-6). Notice vir-

tual instruments are indicated by the word “(synth)” after the name. With Alpha loaded on

the track, playing your keyboard should produce sound from the virtual instrument.

Making the Recording

Now we have selected our input and all that remains to do is to make a recording. With

Tracktion you have access to a number of recording modes, including looped and punch in.

For now, we will just look at the most simple record mode.

Note: If you would like a count-in period before the recording starts, click on the click

track menu button at the bottom left of the edit page, and select a count-in length from the

pre-record count-in length sub-menu.
