New MIDI track does not show output channel option

[John Roevekamp]

I am trying to create a MIDI track and specify what MIDI channel it will send its data out on. I see that in a video on YouTube, but when I add the track, no such option appears. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure you're showing all the track controls by selecting "All" as shown.

Set the forced MIDI Channel using the track control widget with the little [C] on it.  If you don't see it, as Variorum shows, change the Track Control / Widget Manager to "All."  If you tend to do a lot of projects with MIDI, you might want to create your own Workspace with a "Custom" Track Manager configuration (or with "All") saved in the Worksapace.

If you have difficulty seeing the tiny letters (like I do), you can even customize the icon images used in the track control widgets. For my MIDI Workspace, I use a customized theme with what I call "Scrabble-for-Juniors" images: dark blue letters on a deep yellow background (Track Pane Control Icons).

To fix a couple of typos. To add additional suggestions

People, people, people, you are such a blessing. THANK YOU for all your inputs, between them all I have found my way. (I was in "Basic" mode and when I switched to "Advanced" mode, the extra pathway controls appeared). Making music can be such fun, when you aren't adrift in technogical chaos... Be well.
