I was wondering of some of you know how to cut notes from a midi track and paste them into a new midi track? For instance I want to take a certain melody line from a piano score and paste it directly into a violin midi track? Seems like a straight forward option?
I would set locators to selection move transport to left locator open the midi editor of the part I want to copy highlight the notes and copy
Then open the other part in the midi editor and paiste
Suppose I duplicate the midi track, then I have to manually erase all the notes I don’t want the specific instrument to play. Not very practical. I’m actually looking/hoping for a function under midi which enables you to select the notes that I want (for instance from a piano score) and give the command “make into new midi track”. Makes sense? Cheers guys.
No function like that. What I’d do is copy the part. Then edit the new part. Select all the notes you want to keep, then use the MIDI Logical Editor to delete all the non-selected notes. I’ve attached an image of what a Logical Editor preset to do that would look like. If you are gonna do this a lot, consider assigning a key command to the preset. Then you’d just select the notes and hit the key command. I’d always to this on a copy of a part to avoid accidentally deleting stuff I don’t intend to.
