Notes:
If you have the MIDI Input Sync/Trigger mode enabled while using this dialog, you can auto-complete the Channel and Note values by pressing a key on your MIDI Keyboard.
Triggers in the Regions List are different from triggers specified in the MIDI Triggers dialog (Options menu) and the Playlist. When using triggers in the Playlist, Regions List, or MIDI Triggers dialog, be aware that they can interact with each other to create unexpected results. Sound Forge first looks at the MIDI Triggers, then the Regions List, and then the Playlist when determining what to do when a MIDI command is detected. If you only want to use the triggers in the Regions List, turn off all the triggers in the MIDI Triggers dialog and the Playlist.
