Note: The result will only be audible if you play the MIDI Region back through an All
Channel instrument.

Using different MIDI channels in this way enables you to assign the individual notes in
polyphonic score styles, or split each note off into its own MIDI Region, using the
Arrange window Region > Split/Demix > Demix by Event Channel option.

Converting Sustain Pedal Events to Note Lengths
The Functions > Note Events > Sustain Pedal to Note Length command analyzes the
sustain pedal events (controller #64) on selected notes, and lengthens the actual notes,
so that they sustain until the controller #64 Off message is reached. The pedal events
are completely erased by use of this function.

Note: When using this function in Page View of the Score window: all selected MIDI
Regions are edited. Even if the result sounds the same, the score may look different
because the notes will have different durations. Removing the controller #64 messages
will delete the corresponding pedal marks from the Score.

Working with Events

you can move or copy all events between the locator positions to a different position

corresponding grid amount in the Arrange window:
