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 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.
Reversing the Playback Order of MIDI Events
You can invert the order of the selected events or of all events in selected part rhythmically. This
causes the MIDI to play backwards. However, this is different from reversing an audio recording.
The individual MIDI notes still play as usual, but the playback order changes.
PROCEDURE
1.
Select the MIDI events or the MIDI part.
2.
Select MIDI> Functions> Reverse.
RESULT
The playback order of the events is reversed while the individual notes still play as usual in the
MIDI instrument. Technically, this function reverses the note-on message of a note within a part
or selection.
