Description

Note On – Play

The region will be played when the specified note on message is received and will play for the full length of the file.

Note On – Play / Note Off – Stop

The region will be played when the specified note on message is received and will stop when the full file is played or the specified Note Off message is received.

Note On – Queue / Note Off – Play

The region will be queued for play when the specified note on message is received and will play when the corresponding Note Off message is received. This is used to reduce the time between receiving a trigger and playing a marker.

  1. In the Chan box, specify the MIDI input channel for triggering.

  2. In the Note box, specify the MIDI note that will trigger region playback. This value can be entered as a MIDI note value such as C4 or as a MIDI note number such as 60.

Sound Forge Pro note Using RegionsNotes:

  • If the Tr
    igger from MIDI Timecode
    command is selected while using this dialog, you can auto-complete the Chan and Note values by pressing a key on your MIDI keyboard.

  • Triggers in the Regions List function differently from triggers specified in the MIDI Triggers dialog and the Playlist. When using triggers in the Playlist, Regions List, or MIDI Triggers dialog, be aware that they can interact to create unexpected results. Sound Forge software first looks at the MIDI Triggers, then the Regions List, and then the Playlist when determining what to do when a MIDI command is detected. If you only want to use the triggers in the Regions List, turn off all the triggers in the MIDI Triggers dialog and the Playlist.
