Smile Thru/through, and muting it

Hallo

I'm using NC to record for the first time for a long time.

First there is an issue of terminology. In most midi software I use, the channel that voices what you play as input is called thru or through. Notation doesn't seem to use this term. What is the equivalent ? (I can't search the excellent manual without it !) (This is different from the track you're recording into, which is usually silent when recording is happening)

Second, given latency, in fact often one doesn't want this sounding of what one is playing, because it's not in time - you end up hearing each note twice. So how can the thru/repeat be muted, when recording?

And third (it may the same question repeated, I'm not sure) if I have recorded a track or two into Notation, and then want to play another track ie on my keyboard, not recording it, against/with what I have recorded, how do I mute the 'thru effect' (other than pulling the midi cable out !) ? I've tried making a blank staff, selecting it as active, and muting it - yet there is still 'thru' sound.

Sorry to be dense.

Default Re: Thru/through, and muting it

Hi, Ian:

In Notation Composer, the program sends midi input to whatever track is currently selected. You can select two tracks at a time to play into and Composer will separate the input into left and right hand parts a la piano.

For that purpose, the voice setting of the track(s) in question is used.

You can set a separate "play-along" sound in the Practice Setup section of the Performance menu. This is for use with the "Practice" feature you can set up there.

You can turn off midi-thru to external devices in the Midi Device Configuration/Device Properties box. You cannot do so for internal devices (not sure why, there), but you can mute individual channels by de-selecting the green circle in the Staff Controls to the left of each staff in Window View (viewing of the staff controls must be selected in the View menu, of course.)

I hope that helps.

David

The midi-thru page in the manual is here: http://www.notation.com/ComposerDocs...o_specific.htm

(That's all one address, by the way, not broken into two lines)
