Separating MIDI Notes

The Separate command lets you separate MIDI notes at the Edit cursor location or at the boundaries of the Edit selection. When in Notes view in the Edit window and in MIDI Editor windows, separating MIDI clips creates new MIDI notes but does not create new MIDI clips. However, when in Clips view in the Edit window, separating MIDI clips only creates new MIDI clips. Also, if the Edit selection includes any audio tracks, the Separate command separates only clips on MIDI and Instrument tracks regardless of the Track View setting.

To separate MIDI notes at the Edit cursor location or at the boundaries of the Edit selection:

1 Make an Edit selection or place the Edit cursor at the location where you want to separate one or more MIDI notes.

2 Do one of the following:

Choose Edit > Separate > At Selection.

– or – 

Right-click in the Notes pane and choose Separate.

Press Control+E (Windows) or Command+E (Mac) to separate MIDI notes at the selection.

To separate MIDI notes on the grid:

1 Set the Grid value.

2 Make an Edit selection or a marquee selection that includes the MIDI notes you want to separate.

3 Choose Edit > Separate > On Grid.

4 In the Pre-Separate Amount dialog, click OK.
