Two ways to do this: - On the track that you want to record to, set the input source to the DLS softsynth. When you play the keyboard on the DLS synth, it will record the MIDI notes. - When a track is set to inline editing mode, the keyboard on the left of the track can be used as an input souce for step record or normal record. Note that this also works with VST Instruments that send there MIDI to ACID - not all do. Peter

Create a new MIDI track (make sure it is routed to the DLS) and:

1) Use the Inline MIDI editor/MIDI clip editor and draw in MIDI notes using your mouse.
2) Drag & drop pre-existing MIDI files from the Loop Explorer
3) Use an external MIDI device (like a keyboard controller) and record notes into the track.

You don't need an external keyboard. You can play it using the mouse and have ACID record the MIDI.

Two ways to do this:

- On the track that you want to record to, set the input source to the DLS softsynth. When you play the keyboard on the DLS synth, it will record the MIDI notes.

- When a track is set to inline editing mode, the keyboard on the left of the track can be used as an input souce for step record or normal record.

Note that this also works with VST Instruments that send there MIDI to ACID - not all do.
