type of instrument you are using:
• If you are using an instrument plug-in,
click an Insert selector and insert the plug-
in on the Instrument track. The track’s
MIDI output is automatically assigned to
the instrument plug-in.
• If you are using an external MIDI device,
click the track’s MIDI Output selector (at
the top of the Instrument track) and assign
the device and channel to receive the MIDI
output (the choices will vary depending on
the device).

connected its audio output to Mbox 2 for mon-
itoring in Pro Tools, click the Input selector of
the Instrument track and choose the corre-
sponding audio input. (This step is not neces-
sary if you are using an instrument plug-in.)

able button to enable the Instrument track for
MIDI recording.
