In some projects you want the volume or panning of a track to change
while playback is in progress. You can accomplish this using the Console,
Piano Roll, Event List or StudioWare views. For more information, see
Chapter 9, Mixing and Effects Patching, Chapter 6, Editing Events and
Controllers, and Chapter 11, Working with StudioWare.
You can also change the pan and volume settings in a variety of other
ways, as described on page 3-15. To change the volume or pan settings
for more than one track at a time, select the tracks you want to change
and choose Track-Property-Volume or Track-Property-Pan.
Assigning a MIDI Channel (Chn)
MIDI transmits information on 16 channels, numbered 1 through 16.
Every MIDI event is assigned to a particular channel. Some MIDI
equipment can accept MIDI information on only a single channel. This
channel may be preassigned, or you may be able to change it. Other
MIDI equipment, including many electronic keyboards and synthesizers,
can accept information on several different MIDI channels at once.
Usually, these devices use a different instrument sound for each channel.
On playback, the channel number is used to direct the MIDI information
to a particular piece of equipment. A single track can contain events on
many different MIDI channels.
To Set the Initial Volume and Pan Settings…
1. Move the highlight to the Volume or Pan column of the track you
want to change.
2. Press the + or – key until the value you want is displayed. Use
the [ or ] key to increase or decrease the value by 10.
Note to Experts:
Pro Audio processes the volume and pan settings by transmitting
MIDI volume and pan events (controllers 7 and 10, respectively)
when playback starts. If two or more MIDI tracks are set to the same
port and channel but have different volume or pan settings, the
settings for the highest-numbered track will prevail.
Note also that not all keyboards and synthesizers respond to these
events. Check your instrumentÕs manual for more information.
