This is the track number. The track number always starts at one and carries on in increasing order down the page.

This is the name of the track. If the track has not been given a name then it will be given the name of ``Track N'', where N is the track number.

The program number for the track. Only a number between 0 and 255 is shown here. If the program is using Midi bank select messages or some other means of providing more than 255 instruments, then this can be seen on the track properties page.

The channel number for the track. A number from 0 to 15 that is the midi channel number. It is possible to have more than one midi device to obtain more than 16 channels of Midi. The device is not currently an option for the information pane, but can be seen in track properties.

Clicking on a button for a particular track mutes that track. If playing, then activating this button for a track will prevent any more notes from playing on this track until it is de-selected again. Notes that are already playing will continue to play though. It should light up yellow when active. Clicking again will un-mute the track.

Clicking on this button for a track will mute all other tracks, leaving the one track playing.

Further tracks can be unmuted by clicking on the relevant mute button. In this way you can have a selection of tracks playing. These unmuted tracks are remembered so that if you toggle the solo button the same set of tracks will be toggled. This allows you to switch rapidly between playing all tracks and a limited selection of tracks.

Clicking the record button enables recording for this track. When recording is active, then all Midi events arriving on the input channel that has been selected for this track will be recorded and saved in this track.

Normally only one track is active for recording at a time, but by control-clicking on the button, more than one track can be selected for record. Clicking on an active button will deactivate it.

When more than one track is selected for record and two or more of these tracks are connected to the same input device, then the same midi events will be recorded on each.

You can type in any name for the track. There is no limit on the length of the name. (Yes, there probably is a practical limit, but not one that is built into Melys)

Sets the you to set the destination MIDI device for this track. Currently there is no way to set up devices from within Melys, this will be implemented in a later version. The device list is taken from the ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS environment variable. This is a comma separated list of ALSA sequencer ports. You can use the utility showseq to display a list of available sequencer ports on your system. All ports labeled write are possible candidates for inclusion in ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS.

This sets the channel number that the MIDI events are sent to. You can type in the number directly or use the spin control arrows on the right to adjust the value.

This sets the initial volume for this track. It can be set between 0 and 100%. If the file was read in from a Midi file or other file with embedded volume changes then they will override this setting when they occur. When a midi file is read, then an attempt is made to work out the initial volume, from volume control events that occur before the first note of a track.

This sets the initial pan position for this track. The position can be set between -50 and 50. If the file was read in from a Midi file or other file with embedded pan position changes then they will override this setting when they occur. When a midi file is read, then an attempt is made to work out the initial pan position, from pan control events that occur before the first note of a track.
