editor, this command will merge the notes into another MIDI clip.
D7
paste special fill selection
In an automation playlist display, you can copy a section of automation data.
Then, if you make a new selection, this command will paste and repeat your

automated a parameter like a filter to create a special effect like a filter sweep,
you can use this to repeat it over a selection creating a rhythmic effect with the
repeated pattern.
