You can draw the MIDI data in via the piano roll, but also with your MIDI device. To record or draw MIDI data in Studio One, you will create an <strong>Instrument <\/strong>track.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One great thing about Studio One is that both audio and MIDI data are on the same track, which means you don\u2019t have to route it to an Aux bus or audio track. This means that you can convert the Instrument track to audio while preserving the MIDI data at the same time. Because of this, you don\u2019t need to create a new audio track each time you need to edit any of the MIDI data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few ways to create an <em>Instrument <\/em>track. Either by dragging a virtual instrument to the track section or by creating an empty one. Creating an empty instrument track is especially useful if you\u2019re using external synthesizers.
