MIDI processing and quantizing
O-Note Conversion
See “Working with drum maps” on page 359 for more in-
formation on drum maps and O-Notes.
Repeat Loop
With this function, the events inside the independent track
loops will be repeated until the end of the part, i.e. the
notes that were previously only played repeatedly are now
actual notes on the MIDI track. Events to the right of the
independent track loop (within the same part) will be re-
placed by this function. For more information about inde-
pendent track loops, see “The independent track loop” on
page 342.
Other MIDI functions
The following items can be found in the Functions sub-
menu of the MIDI menu:
Legato
Extends each selected note so that it reaches the next note.
You can specify the desired gap or overlap with the “Legato
Overlap” setting in the Preferences (Editing–MIDI page).
When using Legato with this setting, each note will be extended to end
5 ticks before the next note.
When you activate the “Legato Mode: Selected Only” op-
tion, the length of the note will be adjusted so that it
reaches the next selected note, allowing you e.g. to only ap-
ply Legato to your bass line (when playing on a keyboard).
Fixed Lengths
This function resizes all selected notes to the length set
with the Length Quantize pop-up menu on the MIDI editor
toolbar.
Delete Doubles
This function removes double notes, i.e. notes of the same
pitch on the exact same position. Double notes can occur
when recording in Cycle mode, after Quantizing, etc.
Delete Controllers
This function removes all MIDI controllers from the se-
lected MIDI parts.
Delete Continuous Controllers
This function removes all “continuous” MIDI controller
events from the selected MIDI parts. Therefore, “on/off”
events such as sustain pedal events are not removed.

This function is only available from within the MIDI
editors.
