174 Routing and I/O
Mono is turned into stereo simply by using the identical signal for left and right channels. When
a track is routed into a mono output, the left and right signals are added together and attenu-
ated by 6 dB to avoid clipping.
14.3 External MIDI In/Out
MIDI from the outside world is routed into Live just like audio. From the Input Type chooser of a
MIDI track, you can either select a specific MIDI input port or “All Ins,“ which is the merged in-
put of all external MIDI ports. The Input Channel chooser offers the individual input channels of
the selected MIDI port and the merged signal of all channels, “All Channels.“ As is the case with
audio inputs, the Input Channel chooser also has meters next to every entry to represent activity
on the respective input channel. If multiple MIDI tracks are selected, any changes you make to
these choosers will be applied to all selected tracks.
14.3.1 The MIDI Ports List in the Preferences
The MIDI Ports List in the Preferences.
You can configure which MIDI ports are made available to Live using the MIDI Ports section
of the MIDI/Sync Preferences. All available input and output ports are listed here. For Live’s
tracks to receive/send MIDI from/to a specific MIDI port, the corresponding switch in the Track
column must be set to On. You can use any number of MIDI ports for track input and output; the
mixer’s In/Out choosers allow them to be addressed individually.
14.3.2 Playing MIDI With the Computer Keyboard
The computer keyboard can be used for generating MIDI notes from computer keyboard
strokes. To turn the computer MIDI keyboard on, use the Control Bar’s Computer MIDI Keyboard
button, or the [CTRL][Shift][K](PC) / [CMD][Shift[K](Mac) shortcut to the Options menu entry.
