midi instrument track grayed out...???
for some reason some of my 'instrument' tracks are gray in the edit window. and midi info on them will not play back. if i put the track in record enable i get sound. or copy midi to a regular midi track and have it control the instrument track.
happened during a session. seemingly all of a sudden. did i hit something by accident? a keystroke to toggle between active and inactive? i did check the 'make active/inactive' button. track is supposedly active. ??? |

Sounds like the track has lost it routing to the instrument it was playing!! With "instrument view" on you will be able to re-connect its midi routing to the instrument its playing. Chris |

That one gets me pretty often! I always forget the " Instrument View " option and I pull my hair out for a few min till I have the lightbulb moment. ha.

This is an incredibly annoying PT8 bug that happens to me almost every time I make an inactive instrument track active. What you need to do is pull up the inst view in the mix window, and then choose the appropriate midi channel to send your midi to, probably channel one. I've contacted tech support a couple times since 7.4 but PT 8 didn't fix it, it just added more annoying little bugs.

cool.
'instrument view' did it. thanks! wow, never used that before. up til recently i've only done live instruments. no midi... except for a click track or something... |
Re: midi instrument track grayed out...???
Pardon my ignorance, I'm new at this. Where do I find this "instrument view"?
Obviously, I'm having the same problem with the midi track being grayed out. |
