Hi,

Make a Macro of these two Logical Editor presets:
1: Shift the 2nd note in the chord (from the bottom):

Filter Target
( Type is | Equal | Note | And
Context Variable | Equal | note Number in Chord (lowest = 0) | 1 )

Action Target
Position | Add | 0.0.1.0 PPQ

Function
Transform

2: Shift the 3rd note in the chord (from the bottom):

Filter Target
( Type is | Equal | Note | And
Context Variable | Equal | note Number in Chord (lowest = 0) | 2 )

Action Target
Position | Add | 0.0.2.0 PPQ

Function
Transform

Btw, there is the “strumming tool” when you select the Trim tool and hold down Alt modifier. You would need to do it manually for every single chord, but at the other hand, you can do up/down strumming.

Of course, you can prepare your Logical Editor preset for up and down strumming too.

I would go this way:

  • Hold down Shift + double-click to the 2nd MIDI Note in the raw. All but the very 1st MIDI Notes of the pitch will be selected.
  • Delete all selected MIDI Notes notes.
  • Change the length of the 1st MIDI Note to the length, you want to play the MIDI Notes.
  • Select Split tool.
  • Hold down Alt modifier and click the MIDI Note 1/8th from the beginning.

=> The MIDI Note will be splitter repeatedly by 1/8.

Another way to get the same:

  • Hold down Shift + double-click to the 1st MIDI Note in the raw. All MIDI Notes of the pitch will be selected.
  • Set the Grid to 1/8.
  • MIDI > Functions > Fixed Lengths.
  • Hold down Alt modifier, click any of the MIDI Note and shift it (while Alt is down) 1/8 right.

=> All selected MIDI Notes will by copied 1/8 to the right.
