Recording MIDI from Venom
Once you have installed the M-Audio Venom drivers, you can record MIDI from Venom in Pro Tools or use it
to play virtual instruments in Pro Tools. Venom can send MIDI from the keyboard and top-panel controls, or
it can pass MIDI through from the external MIDI In port on the rear panel (for example, if you are using an
external controller with Venom, you can record that MIDI in Pro Tools too).
To record MIDI from Venom in Pro Tools:
1 Create a new MIDI or Instrument track. By default, Pro Tools receives MIDI from all connected sources.
2 From the MIDI Input selector, select one of the following:
• All, select this if you want to record MIDI from all sources.
• Venom USB MIDI In and the MIDI channel number, select this if you want to record MIDI from only the
MIDI In port on the rear panel of Venom.
• Venom USB Synth In and the MIDI channel number, select this if you want to record MIDI from only the
Venom keyboard and top panel controls.
3 Record enable the MIDI or Instrument track.
4 Start recording.
5 Start playing Venom or your external MIDI controller (depending on what you selected from the MIDI Input
selector).
6 When you are finished playing, stop recording.
