Assigning MIDI Track Output

Pro Tools lets you assign specific MIDI ports and channels to a MIDI track output. The default selection of none sends MIDI data to no port on any channel. Use the MIDI Output selector to specify a MIDI port and channel for output.

MIDI tracks in Pro Tools cannot contain multiple channels of MIDI data.

For information on assigning MIDI output to Instrument tracks, see Assigning MIDI Input and Output for Instrument Tracks.

To assign a MIDI track (and all its clips) to a specific MIDI device channel:

Click the track’s MIDI Output selector and assign a port and channel for MIDI output. Channels already assigned to another track appear in bold.

In the Edit window, select View > Edit Window > I/O to access any track’s Output selector.
