Track Views
For more information, see the following topics:
The Track View determines which data is displayed and edited in the track’s playlist area. Track View data can be set to Playlists, Blocks, Analysis, Warp, Waveform, Volume, Volume Trim, Mute, Pan, Send, or an automated control or continuous controller, based on the track type and your Pro Tools system.
Audio Tracks
Can be set to Blocks, Playlists, Analysis, Warp, Waveform, Volume, Volume Trim, Mute, Pan, Send controls, or any plug-in controls that are enabled for automation. By default, audio tracks are set to Waveform view where track material is graphically drawn with amplitude waveforms (a time-domain representation of sound). This Track View provides the necessary detail for important clip edits.
Auxiliary Input Tracks
Can be set to Volume, Volume Trim, Mute, Pan, Send controls, or any plug-in controls that are enabled for automation.
Master Fader Tracks
Can be set to Volume, Volume Trim, or any plug-in controls that are enabled for automation.

MIDI Tracks
Can be set to Blocks, Clips, Notes, Velocity, Volume, Mute, Pan, Pitch Bend, Mono After Touch, Program Change, Sysex, and any continuous controller type. MIDI tracks are commonly set to Notes or Clips, each of which displays notes in a “piano roll” format. Use Clips view to edit and arrange MIDI clips. Use Notes view for inserting and editing MIDI notes. Other MIDI track views are useful for editing velocity, controller data, program changes, and Sysex events.

Instrument tracks are commonly set to Notes or Clips, each of which displays notes in a “piano roll” format. Use Notes view for inserting, editing, and copying and pasting MIDI notes.
