Indicate the window currently being edited in Pro Tools.

Shows only tracks related to MIDI production, such as Instrument, MIDI, and Auxiliary Input tracks.

Represents the track that will be affected by the Pencil tool when creating notes.

Allows you to color-code MIDI notes based on their corresponding track, making it easier to identify notes belonging to different tracks.

Displays all notes in red, with the saturation level of each note indicating its velocity.

The main area of the MIDI Editor where you view and edit MIDI notes.

Similar to the Edit Window Groups List, allowing you to group and manage tracks.

Provides a dedicated environment for viewing and printing music notation, offering a more structured score format.

Pressing Tab to move the edit cursor from clip boundary to clip boundary in Notes view.

Using the Left and Right Arrow keys to navigate MIDI notes, selecting notes from left to right and playing them during navigation.

Nudging selected notes up or down in half-step increments.

This method involves selecting audio clips, dragging them onto existing MIDI tracks, and setting extraction properties.

This method involves right-clicking on audio clips or selected areas and choosing "Copy Audio as MIDI" from the context menu.

This method enables you to extract MIDI from audio, without needing to delete the original track.

This method hides the source audio track and deactivates it.

This method makes the source audio track inactive but remains visible.

A simplified window that pops up when extracting MIDI, allowing you to choose settings for the new MIDI data.

The volume of the original audio gets converted into the intensity (volume) of the MIDI notes.

The process of converting audio into MIDI data by analyzing the original audio track.

A new track created from the extracted MIDI data, named after the original audio track with a .MIDI extension.

A MIDI Thru setting that sends MIDI data to the first selected MIDI track, making it the 'default' instrument for previewing.

A setting that determines which instrument plays when you preview MIDI clips or use the MIDI keyboard.

Enabling MIDI Thru ensures that data from a MIDI controller, like a keyboard, is channeled to the Default Thru Instrument.

The sound of the Default Thru Instrument will be heard when previewing MIDI clips.

Virtual Instruments and physical MIDI devices can both be defined as the Default Thru Instrument, allowing flexibility in choosing the sound source.

Disabling MIDI Thru prevents MIDI data from being automatically sent to any instrument or device.

You can choose the Default Thru Instrument from a list of virtual instruments, MIDI devices, or leave it set to 'None' to disable MIDI Thru.

MIDI data will be sent to a physical MIDI output if you choose a Predefined output port in the Default Thru Instrument setup.

The sound of the Default Thru Instrument is heard through its own track, regardless of the selected audition path in the I/O setup.

The MIDI track that the Virtual Instrument is on must be selected to use it as a 'default' for previewing when using 'Follows First Selected MIDI Track' preference.

MIDI Thru settings can be accessed within the MIDI tab of Pro Tools preferences.

Using MIDI Thru requires that MIDI track output be routed to the Aux track for Virtual Instruments on Aux tracks.

Aux tracks with Virtual Instruments can't be previewed by clicking the track if the 'Follows First Selected MIDI Track' preference is chosen.

The Default Thru Instrument feature is useful for previewing MIDI data, efficiently determining the best sound for a track.

Nudging notes up or down within the key signature using arrow keys while holding Control (Mac) or Start (Windows).

Nudging notes an octave higher or lower using arrow keys while holding the Shift key.

Creating a copy of a selected note when nudging it up or down using arrow keys while holding Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows).

A Pro Tools option that allows you to hear MIDI notes as you edit them using arrow keys.

Transforming MIDI data into audio by using a virtual instrument (or external sound-generating device).

A Pro Tools feature that allows you to freeze a track's audio temporarily, freeing up processing power.

A Pro Tools action that permanently renders a track as an audio track.

The process of creating a MIDI representation from an existing audio file, using analysis software like Melodyne.

The software used by Pro Tools for extracting MIDI from audio, providing various modes for different types of audio.

One of the methods for extracting MIDI from audio in Pro Tools, creating a new MIDI track.

A setting in the Audio to MIDI Properties dialog box that determines whether the extracted MIDI data will be placed on a MIDI or Instrument track.

A setting in the Audio to MIDI Properties dialog box that controls how Melodyne analyzes the audio for MIDI extraction, offering various options like automatic, percussive, or melodic.

A feature in the Audio to MIDI Properties dialog box that allows you to combine multiple extracted MIDI clips into a single clip.

A setting in the Audio to MIDI Properties dialog box that determines where the extracted MIDI track will be placed in the session.

A software feature that allows you to create MIDI clips from audio files by analyzing them for musical notes.

A Pro Tools feature that allows you to save a session's setup, including MIDI tracks, instruments, and preferences, for easy reuse.

A Pro Tools window designed specifically for working with MIDI data, providing a dedicated environment for editing notes, velocity, and other MIDI parameters.

A method of displaying MIDI data in the MIDI Editor, showing notes as colored blocks, resembling a piano keyboard.

A method of displaying MIDI data in the MIDI Editor that uses traditional musical notation, showing notes on a staff.

A Pro Tools preference that dictates what happens when you double-click a MIDI clip, allowing you to choose between different window views, like the MIDI Editor or Score Editor.
