MIDI instrument (such as a MIDI synthesizer) to
available inputs on your Pro Tools audio inter-
face.

the input paths you plan to use (see Chapter 6,
“I/O Setup.”)

external MIDI instrument to available MIDI in-
put and output ports on your MIDI interface.

If necessary, configure the MIDI Studio Setup
(
Setup > MIDI > MIDI Studio

track with a channel format that corresponds to
the channel format of your audio source (mono,
stereo, or multichannel).

show the MIDI controls of the Instrument track.
