6. Click OK.
A MIDI part is created.
Ö If your audio event references only a section of the au-
dio clip, only this range will be extracted.
You can also use a key command to extract your audio as
MIDI. In this case no dialog will be opened and the set-
tings that were used for the previous extraction will be
used instead. For further information on how to set up key
commands, please refer to the chapter “Key commands”
on page 479.
