Getting Started with Pro Tools LE & Mbox 2 Micro

Using a MIDI Controller/Keyboard to Compose

What’s MIDI?

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) data isn’t audio, so it has no sound of its own.

MIDI is just a way for musical devices, such as virtual instrument plug-ins, MIDI controllers,

and MIDI sequencers, to talk to one another.

It helps to have a MIDI controller/keyboard when creating a MIDI recording (or MIDI se-

quence). To create a MIDI recording, there must be a MIDI instrument (real or virtual) avail-

able to trigger. Hardware MIDI instruments connect via MIDI cables to the MIDI inputs and

outputs on your audio interface or MIDI interface. Virtual sound modules are inserted as plug-

ins on instrument tracks in Pro Tools and accessed directly from within Pro Tools.

Make Beats and Compose With a MIDI Controller

Here we’ll show you how to compose with a MIDI controller/keyboard instead of a mouse.

To Record MIDI on an Instrument Track:

1 Make sure your Mbox 2 Micro is connected to your computer.

2 Connect your MIDI controller/keyboard into your computer. If you need more help doing

that, see the Setup Guide.

3 Choose Track > New. In the New Track dialog, click the pop-up menu that says Mono and

choose Stereo, then click the pop-up menu that says Audio Track and choose Instrument Track.

Leave the other settings as they are and click Create.

4 Choose View > Mix Window to display the Mix window.

5 Click the track Insert selector near the top of the Instrument track and choose Xpand!

from

the Instrument sub-menu.

6 Click the Librarian menu and choose a preset sound, like a bass.

7 Select Options > MIDI Thru. (Verify that MIDI Thru is checked, if not select it.)
