The Display Events as Modified by the Real-Time Properties option determines if Pro Tools displays the effects of Real-Time Properties in both the Edit window, MIDI Editor windows, the Score Editor window, and the MIDI Event List. The Edit window, MIDI Editor windows, the Score Editor window, and the MIDI Event List all display the effects of Real-Time Properties when the
Display Events as Modified by Real-Time Properties option is enabled. With this option disabled, the effects of Real-Time Properties are heard but not seen—you
see the notes and other MIDI events at their original locations, pitches, durations, and velocities, but you
hear them as they are affected by the Real-Time Properties settings.
The MIDI Event List takes into account the effect of Real-Time Properties whenever the
Display Events as Modified by Real-Time Properties option is enabled. When editing or inserting an event in a track or clip with active Real-Time Properties, Pro Tools takes the properties into account and edits or inserts the event in a different place if necessary to match the effect of the Real-Time Properties.
MIDI events appear where they sound in the Edit window, MIDI Editor windows, and the Score Editor window, with the Display
Events as Modified by Real-Time Properties option enabled in the MIDI preferences. However, MIDI events are not actually written to their modified locations until you write the Real-Time Properties to the track or clip.
When moving MIDI events, the actual locations (pitch or time) move by the amount the events are dragged, but the effect of Real-Time Properties is displayed.
When inserting an event in a track or clip with active properties, Pro Tools takes the properties into account and edits or inserts the event in a different place if necessary to match the effect of the Real-Time Properties.
