Use MIDI to Tap Tempo

When enabled, you can

tap a MIDI keyboard to enter a new tempo value
into a tempo field.

Display Events as Modified by Real-Time Proper-
ties

When enabled, Pro Tools displays the ef-

fects of Real-Time Properties in the Edit, MIDI
Editor, and Score Editor windows, and the MIDI
Event List.

Use F11 Key for Wait for Note

When enabled,

pressing the F11 Function key puts MIDI record-
ing in Wait for Note mode.

Automatically Create Click Track in New
Sessions

When enabled, Pro Tools automati-

cally creates a new click track in new sessions.

Default Thru Instrument

This option lets you set the default MIDI Thru
instrument. You can select a predefined device
from your available MIDI instruments, or select
First Selected MIDI Track

to use the assigned MIDI

output of the first selected MIDI or Instrument
track. When multiple MIDI or Instrument tracks
are selected, the instrument in the selected track
that is closest to the top of the Edit window (or
closest to the left edge of the Mix window) is
used. Select None to only route MIDI Thru
record enabled MIDI and Instrument tracks.

Pencil Tool Resolution When Drawing Controller
Data

This option lets you set the default resolution
for MIDI controller data created with the Pencil
tool. Setting this to a lower resolution helps
avoid creating controller data that is unneces-
sarily dense. The value range is from 1 to 100
milliseconds.

Global MIDI Playback Offset

This option lets you set an offset in samples to
compensate for MIDI latency. Entering a value
here has the same effect as setting an offset with
the MIDI Track Offsets command. Offset values
can be positive (later) or negative (earlier).

Double-Clicking a MIDI Region Opens

This option lets you specify what happens when
you double-click MIDI regions with the Grabber
tool on MIDI and Instrument tracks in the Edit
window.

MIDI Editor

Opens the MIDI region in a MIDI

Editor window.

Score Editor

Opens the MIDI region in the Score

Editor window.

MIDI Event List

Opens the MIDI region in the

MIDI Event List.

Name Dialog

Opens the Name dialog for the

MIDI region.

Note Display Options

These options set the reference for middle C as
C3, C4, or MIDI note number 60.

Delay for External Devices Section

(Pro Tools HD Only)

These options only apply when a Delay Compen-
sation Engine

is selected in the Playback Engine

dialog and Delay Compensation is enabled in
Pro Tools. These options are distinct from the
hardware offsets available for hardware inserts
in the I/O Setup.
