MIDI. So, let's go up to our MIDI Setup and on a Macintosh we see MIDI Studio. This is the same thing as going to our Audio MIDI Setup if we were to go out to our Hard Drive and click in our Applications Folder and go down to our Utilities and open up our Audio MIDI Setup. So, that's exactly the same location that it would take me to. So, I'll close that, go back into Pro Tools, choose MIDI and then go to MIDI Studio and you can see the same window opens. So, on a Mac system these Icons that show up here that we can connect create new devices and connect them are really just strictly for our own convenience to be able to see what devices are connected, especially if I've got a lot of things that can connect into my particular system, since I've got 8 Ins and 8 Outs that I can connect. So now this will show up inside Pro Tools with that name. But we don't follow actually these anymore so this isn't following any Filter Settings, so really it's strictly for a name convention to help us out there, so they're not necessary to have otherwise it's just going to show up as the device and the Port number and I would need to remember what's connected. So, that's our Studio Setup. On a Windows system you see MIDI Studio Setup that Digidesign had to create for Windows since that's not built into the Operating System. So, that will pull up a different window and will allow you to configure those. Let's go to MIDI B Clock. This allows me to connect two different devices to each other and new to Pro Tools 8 is the ability to have Offsets and Samples on individual MIDI Outputs, so if I'm having information not arrive at the right time I can offset these individually based on the latency of the device, so everything stays in sync with my Session when I'm playing to other devices. So, I've got Internal Connections that are happening through Sound Track Pro. I'm going to send this to Sound Track Pro SYNC destination and by playing I've got a Tempo change that's happening inside here. I've just got to click inside Pro Tools so you can hear the Tempo change and that's going to Send Out to Sound Track Pro, and in Sound Track Pro's preferences I've got Sync to MIDI Clock, and it's going to receive from that cable. I need to make sure that it's online for Sound Track Pro and I've got an audio file that will conform to whatever the Tempo is that it's receiving. So, I'm going to press Play inside Pro Tools; it's trying to follow the tempo, figure out where we're at. Once it gets a hold of that and you can hear that it's following the tempo. And so forth. So you get the idea. Keep in mind this is really not for drastic changes so you can hear as I do some drastic steps it has a little bit of latency as far as when that catches up, but the Audio file conformed to what the Session Tempo was based on our MIDI Beat Clock. So, moving on, going down to our MIDI Input Filter, this allows us to have specific Messages that we want to filter out coming in, so I've got my Status by Messages, if you want to look that up, and all those informations are filtered out here, so if I want to not have notes come in or Pitch Bend information, all that stuff can clog up the pipe if I'm not actually having use of that, so since we do have a Bandwidth limitation on our MIDI, so that's what that Filter's all about, and then Continuous Controllers, I can go and choose what actual Controllers that I'd like to Filter out as well and choose my own to have as Filter devices. So, that's what this Input Filter's all about, it's not going to get recorded. Moving on, going to Input Devices, just allows us to say what's actually going to show up inside Pro Tools when I choose my MIDI Input, so I may have things that don't have any keyboards, or things that are really relative to what my Pro Tools system, I would just choose to not show those at all. So, those are our MIDI Setup Options.
