MIDI Activity indicators

Each MIDI track displays a MIDI playback meter in the Track view and Console view. The MIDI

meter consists of two sections:

• MIDI Activity Indicator. The MIDI Activity Indicator lights up whenever a MIDI event is

encountered in the track.

• MIDI Velocity Meter. The MIDI Velocity Meter shows the greatest current note velocity

encountered during playback.

Audio and MIDI meters can be either vertical or horizontal. For more information, see “Changing the

Meters’ Display” on page 611.

Peak Markers

Buses and audio tracks have a feature called Peak Markers. A Peak Marker in each audio track or

bus moves along in the Clips pane just behind the Now Time cursor displaying the highest peak

found during playback. Peak Markers appear in two different colors: one color if the peak is below 0

dB, and a different color if the peak is above 0dB. By default, peaks below 0dB will be green, and

peaks above 0dB will be red. Colors for both Peak Markers and their text fields are configurable in

the Configure Colors dialog (Options > Colors command).
