bank, patch, and Channel are selected; your monitor speakers or headphones are
turned up; and that none of the relevant tracks are muted.
You can add effects to each of the DXi audio tracks. You can also add MIDI effects
to your DXi MIDI tracks.
To Play a DXi from a MIDI Controller
1. Make sure your controller is set to local off.
2. Make sure that the Audio Engine button in the Transport toolbar is
depressed.
3. Insert a DXi into your project (see “Inserting a DXi” on page 402, if necessary).
Note: If you patch a DXi into a bus that has no audio track assigned to it, the
DXi does not sound. Always use a bus that has at least one audio track
sending data to it.
4. In the MIDI track that sends its output to the DXi, choose a MIDI channel.
5. Open the DXi’s interface (if it’s not open already) by clicking the Properties
button in the Synth Rack view, or by double-clicking the name of the DXi if it’s
patched into the Fx field of an audio track.
Note: You can also open a DXi’s interface by double-clicking its name where it
appears in a MIDI track’s Out menu or an audio track’s In menu.
6. Set the DXi’s parameters (choose sounds, effects, etc.), and drag its interface
out of the way.
7. If you want to save your DXi settings, type a name in the Presets field, and
click the Disk icon that’s next to the Presets field.
8. Make sure that the MIDI track has the focus (its titlebar is gold), and play
your MIDI controller.
When you play your MIDI controller you should hear the DXi through your sound
card’s outputs. If you don’t, make sure you’re playing in the right range; a bank,
patch, and Channel are selected; your monitor speakers or headphones are turned
up; your controller is attached to your MIDI interface; and that none of the
relevant tracks are muted.
To Remove A DXi from a Track or Bus
• If your DXi is patched into the Fx field of an audio track or bus, right-click the
name of the DXi, and choose Delete from the popup menu.
Or
• In the audio track that uses the DXi as an input, choose another input for the
track.
