MIDI processing and quantizing
You can specify a gap or overlap for this function 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 “Legato Mode: Selected Only”, the
length of the note will be adjusted so that it reaches the
next selected note, allowing you e.g. to only apply 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 from the selected MIDI
parts. 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.
Delete Notes
Allows you to delete very short or weak notes. This is use-
ful for automatically removing unwanted “ghost notes” af-
ter recording. Selecting “Delete Notes…” opens a dialog
in which you set up the criteria for the function.
The parameters have the following functionality:
Minimum Length
When the Minimum Length checkbox is activated, the note
length is taken into account, allowing you to remove short
notes. You can either specify the minimum length (for notes
to be kept) in the value field or by dragging the blue line in
the graphical length display below.
• The graphical length display can correspond to 1/4 bar,
one bar, two bars or four bars.
You change this setting by clicking in the field to the right of the display.
In this case, the whole length display corresponds to two bars, and the
Minimum Length is set to 32nd notes (60 ticks).
Minimum Velocity
When the Minimum Velocity checkbox is activated, the ve-
locity of notes is taken into account, allowing you to re-
move weak notes. You specify the minimum velocity (for
notes to be kept) in the value display.
Remove when under
This setting is only available when both Minimum Length
and Minimum Velocity is activated. By clicking in this field,
you select whether both the length and the velocity criteria
must be met for notes to be deleted, or whether one of the
criteria will suffice.

This function is only available from within the MIDI
