Dissolving parts into separate pitches
The Dissolve Part function can also scan MIDI parts for events of different pitches,
and distribute the events into new parts on new tracks, one for each pitch. This is
useful when the different pitches are not used in a melodic context, but rather for
separating different sounds (e.
g. MIDI drum tracks or sampler sound FX tracks). By
dissolving such parts, you can work with each sound individually, on a separate
track.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the parts containing MIDI data.
2. Select “Dissolve Part” from the MIDI menu.
3. In the dialog that opens, select the “Separate Pitches” option.
A new MIDI track is created for each used pitch in the selected parts. The events are
then copied into the parts on the track for the corresponding pitch. Finally, the original
parts are muted.
Repeat Loop
With this function, the events inside the independent track loops will be repeated
until the end of the part, i.
e. the notes that were previously only played repeatedly
are now actual notes on the MIDI track. Events to the right of the independent track
loop (within the same part) will be replaced by this function.
