MIDI Tracks

MIDI tracks in ACE Studio manage MIDI clips and host AI voices or instruments.

Overview

MIDI track can hold MIDI clips and host AI voice or AI instrument. You can create, insert, and record MIDI clips on a MIDI track and use the MIDI content to generate sounds with AI voices or AI instruments.

When AI Voice or AI Instrument is loaded onto an empty track, or when MIDI Clips are present on the track, it becomes a MIDI Track. According to the type of sound source attached, MIDI tracks can be divided into 3 sub-types: Non-source MIDI track, Vocal Tracks, and Instrument Tracks.

To create MIDI clips on a MIDI track, you can:

• Double-click on the empty area of the track to quickly create a MIDI Clip;

• Drag a MIDI file on the empty area of the track;

• Record MIDI with a MIDI device, or sync MIDI from your DAW with ACE Bridge.

For more information about MIDI clips, please refer to Clips.

Non-source MIDI track

When you insert a MIDI clip on an empty track or unload the AI voice/AI instrument from a vocal/instrument track, it becomes a non-source MIDI track.

On this type of MIDI track, you can create and edit MIDI clips, but the track can only output sounds only with a standard piano sample library.

Click the + button on the track header or drag an AI voice or AI instrument onto the track header to turn it into a vocal track or instrument track.
