Hi JR,
Since your on midi have you found a way to insert a program change
that actually stays in the track?
I have been poking around the PT midi tracks and can change banks and
program changes.
also some what use the midnam files in the midi track.
BTW the midnam files do display there patch names just fine after
entering the program #.
After a re launch of the pt session containing the midi tracks the
next day the program changes are not staying in the track!
any 1 having the same results?
Is there a keyboard command to insert a program change?Thanks

Hi,
We are now in Chapter 6 on the PT101 course book.
This chapter is recording and working with MIDI.
I have the MIDI keyboard up and running, a JV 35 by Roland. It was a
bit tricky but mostly because it was one of those where you have to
change from “local: on” to “local: off”, on being the default, This
is one of those cases where you have to be able to see the LED
display on the keyboard. The bad part is that it claims in the book
that the parameter isn’t saved which means you have to do it every
time the keyboard is powered up. Anyway, it is working now.
I created a blank session, then created a new “instrument” track.
According to my instructor and the book this allows the use of
xpand2 pack.
If I follow the procedure we used in class and the book there are at
least one place where you must use the mouse, maybe even two.
Does someone have a procedure they use when doing this that is fast
and no mouse required?
Second, I want to select and record 4 bars for a drum loop, I
suspect I will use these later to duplicate for the track. In the
book they have you drag from bar 1 through 4 to select them as a
region? Then record them. What is the best way to accomplish this
procedure?
Can I set the start and end info in the counters area then somehow
select it?
It would be nice to take this text and set up an alternative set or
procedures that could be used by the visually impaired. Maybe I
should write down what works and collect them together for the next
person who attempts this cert effort. This would be a good time to
do this since the book is VERY new, we couldn’t get them for the
class until Jan 7th. I’m still trying to get an accessible version
of the book that isn’t just a scanned version. LOL
Thanks for the advice.
Best,
J. R.
