MIDI FROM: NO INPUT

Post by Lar-ZZ » Tue Jan 07, 2025 2:12 pm

I'm trying to make music instead of clicking the mouse all night.
The One thing I keep clicking over and over is MIDI INPUT: No Input, or keyboard.

My hands are on the synth keyboard and then I have to move over to the mouse and move to that little box to select input.
Is there a shortcut or better wat to not keep changing from No Input to Instrument?

OK, You just keep one track for the synth to play live, and the other is No Input so it has your MIDI. That might work.
I will try it. Thanks.

By default a MIDI track will have "MIDI From" set as "All Ins" - you might have saved it with a different setting


Track Defaults
Defaults exist also for Audio and MIDI channels, allowing you to set a default input or output and even an included instrument or effect whenever you add a channel. Right click on a Channel Header and choose Save as Default MIDI Track or Save as Default Audio Track respectively from the context menu.
