I’m primarily a DP user, but learning Cubase. One feature I’d like to see (or if someone could point me to it) is the ability to move midi data between tracks WITHOUT changing the horizontal position (i.e. if a note is beat 2 bar 4, it will remain in that position regardless of which track it’s being dragged to so long as a modifier isn’t being added).
I spend a significant time quantizing / cleaning midi and this function would be wildly helpful!
Hold Ctrl while dragging
I’m finding this is opening up a submenu and isn’t keeping things squared left to right. Perhaps I have the wrong timebase settings?
Mac user, ey? use the Cmd key instead. Ctrl is for Windows.
Start to drag the part/event first, then press and hold the Ctrl / Cmd key.
There are some modifier key features where it is important whether you press the key(s) before or after operating on the object. This is one of them.
You don’t have to worry about misaligning the part/event before holding down the key. As soon as you press the key you will see the part/event snapping back to the correct position.
Ah I see thank you! Is it possible to grab one single midi note and move it between tracks rather than the entire region?
With the mouse? Only when using the In-Place-Editors on both tracks in the project view.
In the Key Editor I would use Cut and Paste:
Oh, and… a “region” is called Part in Cubase. and yes, Cubase was the first program to come up with this concept, so this is the original name and all others are copy cats and imposters and got it wrong.
