Can I make all pitches of a track merge into one pitch? It's a tempo track trick I've discovered

Hi is it possible to make all pitches in a track go to one pitch?
I can do this in Sibelius with the “Make all pitches constant” [or something like that], plug in. I’m just hoping I can do the same in Cubase as it will save me a lot of time. I’ve discovered a way to create a tempo track for a piano piece that was played in real time, but I quantized it so I could open it up in sibelius. What I did to create the tempo track was, as the piece had one continual track of quavers, I created on long line [but they were all different pitches], and I made it monophonic, by deleting any melody notes that were not part of the accompaniment. I then made them all the same length [16th notes], and moved all of the pitches to the same one. Then, I was able to merge tempo from tapping without getting the message about something being out of range. When I played back the quantized track, it was just the same as the original track with all of the natural ritardandos and accelerandos that occur with each note but on a very tiny scale. Worked really great. I could post the file on YouTube if anyone is interested in the end result. But, great if someone can help me with some way to get all the pitches the same.

The Logical Editor… I not able my PC, so this is from memory.
Upper Panel:
Set to act on notes;
Lower Panel:
Look for make equal pitch. Enter a pitch value.

Thanks so much for that. Cool! Will look forward to using that shortcut.

thanks again, and best,

Another alternative.

Use ctrl-A to select all the Notes. Notice below that the Info Line shows the value for the first Selected Note (G#3). If you were to double+click in that field, type in “G3” and hit Enter that would change the relative value for all the Notes. So in this example all the Notes would shift down a half-step.

However if instead of using Enter you used ctrl+Enter to change the setting then it will set all of the Notes to the same absolute value. So in the example all of the Notes would end up on G3.

All the Info Line fields work like this.

Thank you! Yes, that looks great. Thanks for taking the time to give me the extra info!
