What are the available ways to view MIDI data in Pro Tools?

In Pro Tools, users have several effective ways to visualize MIDI data, which enhances both workflow and creative possibilities. Each viewing method serves a different purpose and suits various aspects of music production and editing.

The first way to view MIDI data is through the notes view in the Edit Window. This view allows you to see MIDI note events laid out on a grid, providing a visual representation of the notes, their pitch, and duration. This is particularly useful for editing and adjusting MIDI performances efficiently.

Another method is the clips view, also found in the Edit Window. This view provides an overview of MIDI clips, representing them as blocks that can be manipulated and edited broadly. While it doesn't provide detailed note-level information, it's helpful for arranging and organizing clips within a session.

Lastly, the notation or score view in a MIDI Editor or Score Editor window provides a traditional musical notation representation of the MIDI data. This view is particularly valuable for composers and musicians who are accustomed to reading and writing music in standard notation. It enables users to see and edit the MIDI data in a way that closely resembles how it would appear on sheet music.

All of these views collectively offer a comprehensive set of tools for working with MIDI data in Pro Tools, catering to different aspects of music creation
