To Display Notes on the Fretboard Using their MIDI
Channels. . .
1. Set the MIDI Guitar to transmit on 6 consecutive channels. This is
often referred to as "MONO" mode. Refer to your MIDI Guitar
device documentation for more information.
2. Select and Arm a track.
3. If you want the data from all 6 strings to be recorded to a single
track, set the Source to OMNI. If you want each string on a sepa-
rate track, you need to set up each individual track to record on
the corresponding MIDI channel. The GR-30 Guitar Synthesizer
template is designed to do this, so you may want to open that
from the Quick Start Menu or from the File menu. To use the File
menu method, choose File-Open and choose Cakewalk Template
from the Files of type field. Then choose the Roland GR-30 tem-
plate.
4. Open the Staff view.
5. Click the Staff View Layout button
6. Click Define.
7. In the Method field, click MIDI Channel.
8. In the 1st Channel field, set Pro Audio to transmit on the same
series of MIDI channels that you chose in step 1. Select 1 for 1-6,
2 for 2-7, etc.
MIDI guitar devices can transmit in MONO using a different series
of MIDI channels, but Pro Audio needs to be listening to the
same channels in order to properly display the MIDI guitar input.
9. Click Close.
10. Click OK.
Pro Audio displays notes on the Fretboard based on their MIDI chan-
nels.
If you are planning to record or input notes from a MIDI guitar synth or
MIDI converter, you need to set this up on the instrument. In the case of
the Roland GR-30, for example, you set it to send on MIDI Channel 11,
MONO. This sends out each corresponding string on channels 11-16.
