MIDI Real-Time Properties

MIDI Real-Time Properties let you change some
MIDI properties of MIDI and Instrument tracks
(or MIDI regions) during playback. There are
five types of MIDI Real-Time Properties: Quan-
tize, Duration, Delay, Velocity, and Transpose.

MIDI Real-Time Properties can be adjusted dur-
ing playback, so you can listen for the desired re-
sults. Once you have found the settings you
want, you can write the settings to the selected
tracks or regions. This overwrites the corre-
sponding MIDI properties on selected tracks or
regions and resets the Real-Time Properties dis-
play to its default settings.

Real-Time Properties can be adjusted in the Real-
Time Properties view in the Edit window, or in
the Real-Time Properties window.

Real-Time Properties View

Real-Time Properties view in the Edit window
only applies to tracks. To apply Real-Time Prop-
erties to regions, use the Real-Time Properties
window (see “Real-Time Properties Window” on
page 605

window:
