MIDI Recording

MIDI tracks always record the MIDI In Device, regardless of the type of Synth being used. If the Autodetect Keyboard option is active (default) your keyboard's MIDI channel will be detected automatically. If necessary you can set the channel used in the Synth's user interface.

The Pro Plus edition features a built-in MIDI Merger that merges all data that's being received on any of the MIDI In Devices (up to four of them can be used, see devices). Make sure your keyboards are using different channels in order to avoid problems.

When recording on a track already containing data, all data after the point at which the recording starts will be deleted. When the Transport is stopped the file is saved automatically. You can undo MIDI-recording using the editor's Undo button.

Note: If the MIDI file contains multiple streams ('tracks' in MIDI terms) all streams will be recording. Using multiple streams is not recommended.

Keyboard Splitter

Keyboard Splitter window

If you want to play two instruments using only one keyboard you can use the Keyboard Splitter. The Keyboard Splitter splits a MIDI keyboard in a left and right hand part. MIDI messages on one channel are intercepted and separated. All notes below the split note are routed to the left hand channel. All other notes and all controller events are routed to the right hand channel. Each output channel can be transposed up to three octaves up or down.

Autodetect Keyboard

If the Recording menu's Autodetect Keyboard option is active (default) recording MIDI tracks will respond to messages on all channels. If you're using more than one keyboard (or any other MIDI instrument) the Autodetect Keyboard feature should be disabled. In this case you should make sure the tracks are recording the right channels.
