The Midi Tab contains the following groups:
The midi tab focuses on instrument changes, midi ports, velocity pressure for a midi keyboard, recording and soundfonts.

The selection group is located on every tab.

Midi Settings
Track Instruments
You can open instrument settings in multiple ways.
- Use the ‘Object Select’ tool and click on a track on the score.
- Click on this icon, then click a track on the score.
- Open Mixer View, then move your mouse over the bottom part of the track where you see the mute, solo and piano buttons. Once you see the highlight, click to edit the track.
Midi Ports
You will be taken to the settings dialog box, where you can update your Midi In/Out Ports.
Velocity Pressure
If your midi keyboard is too sensitive or not sensitive enough, you can control key pressure here.
Record
Most notation editors will only support full recording. This means you are on the spot to continue playing at regular pace. However with the semi realtime mode, you can pause and take breaks. Simply put, semi realtime recording is a fancy Step Entry mode which allows you to record nuances such as velocity and attack changes, without penalizing you for playing too unevenly. You also get the added benefit of seeing your notes being placed on the score as you record.
Soundfonts
Load a soundfont for playback. Use Music Jotter Synth as a midi input.
