Copy selected midi notes to a new midi track

Hi

In the Key Editor, is there a command to copy selected midi notes to a new midi track. I didn’t any presets in the midi logical editor to do this.

I know a few ways to do it by midi channel. Or by copying the whole track and deleting the unneeded parts.

Thank You

This is how I do it:

  1. In the editor of the source MIDI event:
  • Select the desired MIDI notes
  • Press Ctrl-C / Cmd-C (copy)
  1. In the Project window, on the destination track
  • Draw an empty MIDI event on the destination track or select an already existing MIDI event
  • open it to edit
  1. In the editor of the destination event
  • Move the cursor to the desired point in time
  • Press Ctrl-V / Cmd-V (paste)

Thank you for replying. Yes this is a great way to do it.

It would be nice if it was possible to create a midi logical editor procedure. Then I could assign a macro. So I could select the midi notes, then execute the macro.

I’m not sure, that would be any easier, since you still have to do all of the steps to select a destination MIDI track/event and select the insertion point.

Well, this might work, if the logical editor could perform all the steps: create a midi track, copy notes to same point on time line. If disolve part can divide a part by MIDI channel etc, I thought it might be possible for the logical editor to do this. It’s only a few steps. Then the user could simply select notes in the key editor and press a key command to trigger a macro that executes the logical editor command.
