Restore Performance Command

For more information, see the following topics:

Removing Input Quantize

The Restore Performance command in the Event Operations window reverts all selected MIDI notes to their original state (when first recorded or manually inserted), even after the session has been saved, or the Undo queue has been cleared. Restore Performance can also be applied to quantized Elastic Audio Events or quantized audio clips.

 

Event Operations window, Restore Performance page

The Restore Performance command can be undone.

The following MIDI note, Elastic Audio Event, and audio clip attributes can be restored:

Timing (Quantization)

Restores the original start times of the selected notes, audio clips, and Elastic Audio Events. For MIDI only, this changes the durations of selected notes if the Duration option is not enabled.

Duration

Restores the original durations of the selected notes. If the Timing (Quantization) option is not enabled, the start times of selected notes are not restored and the end times are affected. Duration has no effect on audio.

Velocity

Restore the original velocities of the selected notes. Velocity has no effect on audio.

Pitch

Restores the original pitches of the selected notes and pitch shifted Elastic Audio clips.

To restore the original time, duration, velocity, or pitch for selected MIDI notes, audio clips, or Elastic Audio Events:

1 Select the MIDI notes, audio clips, or Elastic Audio Events you want to restore.

2 Choose Event > Event Operations > Restore Performance.

3 Select which performance attributes to restore.

4 Click Apply.

Any changes made through the Quantize, Change Duration (MIDI only), Change Velocity (MIDI only), or Transpose commands are undone and the original “performance” is restored. Also, any MIDI notes that were recorded with Input Quantize enabled are restored (see Input Quantize Command).

Restore Performance does not undo cut, copied, pasted, or otherwise manually moved MIDI notes, audio clips, or Elastic Audio events.

Restore Performance does not undo Duration changes made by trimming the start of a note. Trimming the start of a note essentially changes the note’s timing, and therefore is treated by Pro Tools the same as if it were manually moved.
