Setup to Record a MIDI Track
Now let's record a MIDI track using a USB keyboard such as the E-MU X Board or an
external MIDI keyboard. Connect your MIDI keyboard now if it isn't already connected.
If you're using a USB keyboard and it isn't connected, you'll have to quit Ableton Live

You can use the MIDI Track you set up on MIDI channel 2. Make sure there is at
