Hey,
Hope you'll find the following info useful:
Bright Lights, Big MIDI
Now let’s record some MIDI drums to fit in with our audio recording. MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. Basically, a MIDI controller (such as a keyboard) sends digital messages representing individual notes or parameters. A synthesizer receiving those messages will then trigger and shape sounds to produce music. Live (and other MIDI sequencers) can record those messages so you can play them back or edit them. Ableton designed the MIDI part of Live to act like the audio part, so it’s very user friendly.
Let’s start by dragging one of Ableton’s virtual instruments (software synthesizers) into a MIDI track. For that, you’ll need to open Live’s Device Browser, found at the left of the Session View window. Click on the little Live icon to open it (see Figure 6).
Drag the Impulse drum-machine instrument into track 3. You’ll need to drag it into the bottom part of the session view where it says “Drop MIDI effects, audio effects, or instruments here.” Now let’s open one of Impulse’s preset sound banks by selecting the Recall Preset arrow on the Impulse instrument (see Figure 7). We’ll open the Toronto preset.
Good Luck,
Wings
