MixPad supports live recording of MIDI input from MIDI capable devices and your computer keyboard (please see key mapping on the image below). You can record a MIDI clip into any of your tracks - even tracks that already contain audio files.

In order to record a MIDI clip you will need to first configure your MIDI input settings:

  1. Click the Audio Options icon on the track you would like to record into. You should see the Audio Options dialog for that track appear.
  2. Under Recording Options, select the 'Record using a MIDI device' option.
  3. Select Computer Keyboard or the MIDI device you wish to use for recording from the pulldown list.

The rest of the recording process is basically the same as it is for recording audio.

  1. Put the track into record-standby mode by clicking the Rec button.
  2. Start recording by clicking the MixPad record button at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Start playing your MIDI device. You should see the MIDI in light, located in the track control panel, illuminate every time MixPad receives a MIDI event.
