Monitoring is separate from rec-arm. i.o.w. rec-arming a track does not change the monitoring status, so they should still monitor even when rec-armed, unless you specifically turn off the monitoring. > Why not just ship a default song for new-comers where the first MIDI > track is armed for record? > > Dennis > > I added this because I felt it would be good to hear midi without requiring rec-arming. It is good to have a monitor button separate from rec-arm because there are times when you might want to record but not monitor the midi output or vice-versa, similar to audio monitoring.
Yeah, I know there's some unfinished business in there. One problem is that it's bad to have say four tracks driven from the same input, all driving the same output, all with their monitor buttons on at the same time: You get four copies of the midi events at the output (but hey! that's what it did (does) with rec-arm anyway!) I had a plans to correct that. Let me see what I can come up with to help... I'm preparing another email about the default connections business... I have a plan there.
