Split a long note into 16th, 8th, 4th etc with one KC

Cubase

It would be great to be able to set up a macro like the one below in order to Split a long note into 16th, 8th, 4th etc with one KC.
As it is, I have to use the ALT Split and hover over the MIDI event before clicking. The ALT Split should work without the need to hover over the MIDI event if the MIDI event is already selected. It should work like the regular Split tool does.

Locate Selection Start
Set Quantize to 16th
Nudge right
Alt Split
Boom!

Why are you using the mouse rather than the function “Edit>Functions>Split at Cursor”

I believe he wants to do this using a single macro.

Thanks for the gif @alin89c . This was a 2am idea. Otherwise I would have created one.

im also interested in doing this…

i want to select long notes (from chord track for instance), and convert them all to 8th or 16th or 4ths, through out the whole track.
all the long notes are on a whole bar, nothing special.

so all the bassline notes are converted 16ths or something like that

or all the chords are 8ths

is this possible? i use the Avenger ARP to do this, but a KC would be awsome, since i have to do this daily

Try the scissor tool with alt-click. (If I understand you right?)

@WK1, here’s what you can do using a macro.

in Chord Track

aa

in Key Editor

Now, depending on the chosen value in the quantize preset menu*, the chord symbols / notes will be copied (and resized) accordingly (i.e. to the next 4er note, 8th note, etc).

Great stuff Alin. I’ve seen you work with the score editor much. I wonder if you have developed a method to quickly apply rhythmic patterns, or have you become so fast with this method you posted right here that it doesn’t matter to you anymore?

yes, but its a whole song that needs to be chopped up, so its a lot of work, deadline speaking haha

is there a KC or Macro for this? (maybe im just lazy)

thanks w

thanks Alin!

why dont you use ‘duplicate’ instead of copy-nudge-paste?

Duplicate doesn’t work with MIDI events (and requires you to input the times you want to duplicate the selected events). Copy-nudge-paste is better because it works everywhere: both in the project window, and in different MIDI editors.
