Use MIDI to Tap Tempo
When enabled, you can
tap a MIDI keyboard to enter a new tempo value
into a tempo field.
Display Events as Modified by Real-Time Proper-
ties
When enabled, Pro Tools displays the ef-
fects of Real-Time Properties in the Edit, MIDI
Editor, and Score Editor windows, and the MIDI
Event List.
Use F11 Key for Wait for Note
When enabled,
pressing the F11 Function key puts MIDI record-
ing in Wait for Note mode.
Automatically Create Click Track in New
Sessions
When enabled, Pro Tools automati-
cally creates a new click track in new sessions.
Default Thru Instrument
This option lets you set the default MIDI Thru
instrument. You can select a predefined device
from your available MIDI instruments, or select
First Selected MIDI Track
to use the assigned MIDI
output of the first selected MIDI or Instrument
track. When multiple MIDI or Instrument tracks
are selected, the instrument in the selected track
that is closest to the top of the Edit window (or
closest to the left edge of the Mix window) is
used. Select
None to only route MIDI Thru
record enabled MIDI and Instrument tracks.
Pencil Tool Resolution When Drawing Controller
Data
This option lets you set the default resolution
for MIDI controller data created with the Pencil
tool. Setting this to a lower resolution helps
avoid creating controller data that is unneces-
sarily dense. The value range is from 1 to 100
milliseconds.
Global MIDI Playback Offset
This option lets you set an offset in samples to
compensate for MIDI latency. Entering a value
here has the same effect as setting an offset with
the
MIDI Track Offsets
command. Offset values
can be positive (later) or negative (earlier).
Double-Clicking a MIDI Region Opens
This option lets you specify what happens when
you double-click MIDI regions with the Grabber
tool on MIDI and Instrument tracks in the Edit
window.
MIDI Editor Opens the MIDI region in a MIDI
Editor window.
Score Editor
Opens the MIDI region in the Score
Editor window.
MIDI Event List
Opens the MIDI region in the
MIDI Event List.
Name Dialog
Opens the Name dialog for the
MIDI region.
Note Display Options
These options set the reference for middle C as
C3, C4, or MIDI note number 60.
Delay for External Devices Section
(Pro Tools HD Only)
These options only apply when a
Delay Compen-
sation Engine is selected in the Playback Engine
dialog and
Delay Compensation
is enabled in
Pro Tools. These options are distinct from the
hardware offsets available for hardware inserts
in the I/O Setup.
