Another useful tool for getting MIDI notes into Pro Tools is Step Input.…This feature enables you to enter MIDI notes individually from a MIDI…controller one step at a time.…This is particularly useful for creating parts that are difficult to play like…cool and complex arpeggiated parts.…To use Step Input, choose Event > Event Operations > Step Input.…That opens up the Step Input window. And to enable it, click this Enable check box.…And then we have to choose the destination track.…
And in this particular case, I actually want to use the step track, so I…will choose that.…In the Step Increments section, you can choose the note value for your steps.…We have 16th notes here. We can go all the way up to whole notes, but I actually…want to use 16th notes for this example.…You can also create triplets by checking this Tuplet check box, I don't want to do that here.…And we can change the note length and extend it all the way up to 200% or down…to 1% of the initial value.…
But I am going to keep this at 100% so we get our full 16th note value.…
