IP 1: Using Software

Instruments

Let’s try out some of the high-quality software

instruments included with Pro Tools SE.

Features Used:

• Quick Start dialog

• Instrument Track Recording and Editing

• MIDI keyboard or Pencil tool

Project Workflow

Connect a MIDI keyboard:

1 Make sure your MIDI keyboard is connected

directly to your computer with a USB cable, then

launch Pro Tools.

Create the session:

2 From the Quick Start dialog, choose “Key-

boards.”

Create some software sounds:

3 If you don’t have a MIDI keyboard, you can

also draw notes in the MIDI Editor. To create

notes in this way, click Window > MIDI Editor

and then choose the Pencil tool in the

MIDI Editor.

4 Click one of the Instrument tracks and play

your MIDI keyboard to hear that track's software

instrument. You hear the sound from whichever

track is highlighted.

5 Choose different instruments by clicking on

the Instrument track’s drop-down and selecting

from its list.

Record yourself playing:

6 Click the Track Record Enable button on the In-

strument track so it is ready to record. Now

when you play your connected MIDI keyboard

you can see the meters flickering on that track.

7 Record by using the Transport controls. Click

the Record Enable circle so that it flashes red,

then click the Play triangle. When you are fin-

ished playing, click the Stop square.

8 On the Instrument track, you see MIDI data

for the performance you just recorded. Click the

Track Record Enable button on the track again to

take Pro Tools out of record mode.

Edit the performance:

9 Clean up the durations of our MIDI notes by

adjusting the start and end with the “Trimmer”

tool. This is automatically chosen when you

move the mouse near to either end.

10 Click on a MIDI note and drag it up or down

to change its pitch or hit Delete on the keyboard

to remove it.
