Extract MIDI Automation
This is an extremely useful function as it allows you to
quickly and easily convert the continuous controllers of
your recorded MIDI parts into MIDI track automation data,
making them available for editing in the Project window.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the desired MIDI part containing the continuous
controller data.
2. Select “Extract MIDI Automation”. (This command is
also available on the Key Editor context menu.)
The controller data will automatically be removed from the controller lane
in the editor.
3. In the Project window, open the automation track(s)
for the respective MIDI track. You will find that an automa-
tion track has been created for each of the continuous
controllers in the part.
This function can only be used for continuous controllers.
Data such as Aftertouch, Pitchbend or SysEx cannot be
converted to MIDI track automation data.
Ö Remember that to be able to hear the automation data,
you have to activate the Read button for the respective au-
tomation track(s).
Ö MIDI controller automation is also affected by the Au-
tomation Merge Mode, see “MIDI Controller automation”
on page 202.
Reverse
This function inverts the order of the selected events (or of
all events in the selected parts), causing the MIDI music to
play backwards. Note that the effect is different from re-
versing an audio recording. With MIDI, the individual notes
will still play as usual in the MIDI instrument – it is only the
order of playback that is changed.
Merge Tempo from Tapping
This function allows you to create a complete tempo track
based on your tapping, see the section “Merge Tempo
From Tapping” on page 408.
