Using the Copy MIDI Events Settings
The following describes the settings found in the Copy MIDI Events dialog.
• Mode pop-up menu: Determines how MIDI events are copied or moved. You can choose
from the following options:
• Copy Merge: The copied data is blended with any data present at the destination
position.
• Copy Replace: The data at the destination position is deleted, and replaced with the
copied data.
• Copy Insert: All data at the destination position is moved to the right, by the length
of the source area.
• Move Merge, Move Replace, Move Insert: These three modes work similarly to the Copy
modes, but actually move the selected events, removing them from their original
positions.
• Rotate: The source events are moved to the destination position. The data that was
previously at the destination position, and the data that falls between the source
and destination positions are all moved toward the source position. This rotates the
data around a central pivot point (halfway between the source and destination
positions).
• Direct Swap: Exchanges the source data with data of the same length, starting at the
target position. This allows you to swap the notes in bar 1 of a four-bar MIDI region
with the notes in bar 3 of the same region, for example.
• Remove: Removes the MIDI data from the source region, but leaves the region at its
original position.
• Left Locator and Right Locator: Allow you to edit the source area you defined with the
left and right locators.
• Destination: Defines the destination position independently of the playhead position.
• Number of Copies: Defines the number of copies.
• “Create new region” checkbox: When selected, a new MIDI region is created at the
destination position. It contains the copied (or moved) events.
