Then go to Edit and Preferences or type the letter”P” on your keyboard to open the Unified Preferences View.

Go to the MIDI section of the preferences and select devices. Select your MIDI device from the list in the input and output sections. Apply the changes and close.

Go to the MIDI track’s input and select your device. Selecting omni will receive all MIDI channels from the device.

Input echo is automatically enabled for any selected MIDI track. This will allow for the MIDI signal to be passed through to the output and signal will be represented in the meter.
