Display of Real-Time Properties
Effects
The Display Events as Modified by Real-Time
Properties option determines if Pro Tools dis-
plays the effects of Real-Time Properties in both
the Edit window and the MIDI Event List. The
Edit window and the MIDI Event List display
the effects of Real-Time Properties when the Dis-
play Events as Modified by Real-Time Properties
option is enabled. With this option disabled,
the effects of Real-Time Properties are heard but
not seen—you see the notes and other MIDI
events with their original location, pitch, dura-
tion, or velocity, but you hear them as they are
effected by the Real-Time Properties settings.
To enable or disable the Display Events as
Modified by Real-Time Properties option:
Choose Setup > Preferences.
1
Click the MIDI Tab.

Enable or disable the Display Events as Modi-

fied by Real-Time Properties option.

Real-Time Properties Effects Displayed
in the MIDI Event List
The MIDI Event List takes into account the ef-
fect of Real-Time Properties whenever the Dis-
play Events as Modified by Real-Time Properties
preference is enabled. When editing or inserting
an event in a track or region with active Real-
Time Properties, Pro Tools takes the properties
into account and edits or inserts the event in a
different place if necessary to match the effect of
the Real-Time Properties.
Real-Time Properties Effects Displayed
in the Edit Window
In the Edit window with the Display Events as
Modified by Real-Time Properties preference en-
abled, MIDI events appear where they sound.
However, MIDI events are not actually written
to their modified locations until you write the
Real-Time Properties to the track or region.
When moving MIDI events, the actual locations
(pitch or time) move by the amount the events
are dragged, but the effect of Real-Time Proper-
ties is displayed.
When inserting an event in a track or region
with active properties, Pro Tools takes the prop-
erties into account and edits or inserts the event
in a different place if necessary to match the ef-
fect of the Real-Time Properties.
