Restricting Polyphonic Voices
You can restrict polyphonic voices in selected MIDI notes or parts. This is useful if you have an
instrument with limited polyphony and want to make sure all notes are played.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the MIDI notes or parts that contain the voices.
2. Select MIDI > Functions > Restrict Polyphony.
3. Specify how many voices you want to use.
4. Click OK.
RESULT
The notes are shortened as required, so that they end before the next note starts.
Thinning Out Controller Data
You can thin out controller data in selected MIDI parts. Use this to ease the load on your external
MIDI devices if you have recorded very dense controller curves.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the MIDI parts that contain the controllers that you want to thin out.
2. Select MIDI > Functions > Thin Out Data.
RESULT
The controller data is thinned out.
Extracting MIDI Automation
You can convert continuous controllers of your recorded MIDI parts into MIDI track automation
data, so that you can edit them in the Project window.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the MIDI part that contains the continuous controller data.
2. Select MIDI > Functions > Extract MIDI Automation.
3. Right-click the MIDI or instrument track in the Project window and select Show All Used
Automation (Selected Tracks).
This shows the MIDI controller data on the automation track.
RESULT
In the Project window, an automation track is created for each of the continuous controllers in
the MIDI part.
In the MIDI editors, the controller data is removed from the controller lane.
NOTE
This only works for continuous controllers. Data such as aftertouch, pitchbend, or SysEx cannot
be converted to MIDI track automation data.
