Notice the MIDI cable logo just in front of the track name the audio track above it has a different logo to identify it as an audio track. We could have sent Track 3’s MIDI messages out on any channel we wanted, just by selecting a different number in the Ch field. Track numbers and MIDI channels have nothing to do with each other, although you may want to keep them the same in a small project to make remembering them easier. Notice that the track’s number and its MIDI channel are not the same.
Use these to choose what MIDI channel each track is sending its messages out on, what sound (patch) the track is sending the messages to, how loud the overall track volume is, what MIDI instrument you’re sending the track’s data to, and several other property choices. In the above picture, we zoomed in far enough by dragging the Vertical Zoom fader (see previous picture) to expose the track property fields for each track. Because you stored the MIDI messages that are assigned to each sound on separate tracks, you can then control and edit the stored MIDI messages that go to one sound without changing the messages that are sent to other sounds. You usually assign drum tracks to Channel 10. Instead of manually setting your MIDI modules to play these sounds, you can send Program Change messages to tell your sound module what sounds to play on what channels (see Controlling which sounds you hear). Then you would set your MIDI sound module to play a bass sound on Channel 2, and a piano sound on Channel 5. In this example, you might assign the bass track to Channel 2, and the piano track to Channel 5. A typical MIDI project might have separate tracks for drums, bass, and piano.
You usually assign each track to its own MIDI channel. You usually use tracks to separate the MIDI messages that are intended to play one kind of sound from the MIDI messages that play other sounds. The MIDI messages within a project are usually separated into smaller containers called tracks, and even smaller containers called clips, which are sections of a track.
