4 Choose Edit > Repeat. In the Repeat dialog,
enter the number of times you want the mate-
rial to repeat, then click OK.
The material is placed immediately after the se-
lection’s end point, and duplicated by the num-
ber of times specified.
In Shuffle mode, the repeated data is placed di-
rectly after the end of the selection. Regions oc-
curring after it are slid to accommodate the re-
peated material. In Slip mode, the repeated
material overlaps any adjacent data.
Merge Paste Command
Use the Merge Paste command to merge MIDI
notes from the Clipboard with material already
residing in the paste destination. To replace
track material, use the Paste command instead.
To merge MIDI data:
1 If you want to constrain the selection to the
current grid value, set the Edit mode to Grid.
2 Drag with the Selector in the track to select
the MIDI notes you want to merge.
– or –
Use the Grabber to select one or more MIDI re-
gions (or a group of MIDI notes).
3 Choose Edit > Cut to remove the selection and
place it on the Clipboard.
– or –
Choose Edit > Copy to place the selection on the
Clipboard without removing it.
4 With the Selector, click in a MIDI track at the
point where you want to merge the material.
5 Choose Edit > Merge Paste. The Clipboard’s
contents are pasted at the insertion point, with-
out removing the existing material already re-
siding there.
If any portion of the material is pasted outside
of existing regions, a new region is created for
the data.
Editing Stereo and
Multichannel Tracks
Regions on individual channels within stereo
and multichannel tracks cannot be indepen-
dently selected. All selections for these tracks are
time-based, which means that selections made
with the Selector and Grabber extend to each
channel in the track.
When regions in multichannel tracks are edited
with the Trimmer or dragged with the Grabber,
material on all channels is affected equally as a
group.
Split Selected Tracks
To edit a specific channel within a stereo or mul-
tichannel track without affecting the other
channels, you can split the track into separate
mono tracks. Once the edits have been made to
the separated material, you can then drag or
copy it back to the original multichannel track.
