MIDI Tracks
A MIDI track lets you send your track’s MIDI data to an external MIDI device like a synth or drum machine.
To create a MIDI track:
1. Press Matrix to enter Matrix Mode.
2. At the top of the screen, press the + icon to add a new track.
If you cannot see the + icon, press the right cursor to move the matrix
view until it is shown.
3. In the window that appears, turn the data dial to select Midi as the track
type.
If you would like to create more than one MIDI track at once, use the
Number of tracks field to select how many tracks you would like to
create.
4. Tap Do It to confirm, or tap Close, the X or outside the window to go
back. A new MIDI track will be created and appended with a number (e.g.,
Midi 002).
Alternatively, press and hold the track select button of an unused track, then tap MIDI.
To edit the track settings, double-tap the track name at the top of the screen to open the Track Settings window.
To rename the track, tap the track name field and use the virtual keyboard that appears to enter a new name, and then
tap Do It to confirm or the gray bar at the top of the screen to cancel.
To change the track color, tap the color field and use the data dial or -/+ buttons to scroll through the options. You
can also double-tap the color field and then swipe up or down, use the data dial or -/+ buttons to scroll through the
options.
To transpose the MIDI track, tap the transpose field and use the data dial or -/+ buttons to set the transposition
amount.
To select the MIDI channel the track will use, double-tap the MIDI Ch field. Use the number pad that appears to
enter a value from 1–16, then tap Do It. Alternatively, use the data dial or the –/+ buttons to select a channel.
To select a MIDI program change value for the track to send, double-tap the MIDI Program Change field. Use
the number pad that appears to enter a value from 1–127, then tap Do It. Alternatively, use the data dial or the –/+
buttons to select a value. Clips will send this value when launched.
