Insert and send effects
As with audio effects, there are two ways to route the MIDI events on a track to an
effect:
Ö If you add an insert effect, the MIDI events will be sent to the effect, which will process
the data and pass it on to the track’s MIDI output (or to another insert effect). In other
words, the MIDI events will be routed “through” the insert effect.
Ö If you use a send effect, the MIDI events will be sent both to the track’s MIDI output
and to the effect. That is, you will get both the unprocessed MIDI events and the
output of the MIDI effect. Note that the effect can send its processed MIDI data to any
MIDI output – not necessarily to the one used by the track.
There are separate sections in the Inspector for MIDI inserts and MIDI sends.
MIDI Inserts section
This allows you to add up to four MIDI insert effects. The section contains the
following items:
Ö Effects that display their controls in the Inspector can be opened in a separate control
panel window by pressing [Alt]/[Option] and clicking the Edit button.
