Chapter 16 Editing MIDI Events in the Piano Roll Editor 411
3 Choose Functions > Copy MIDI Events. The Copy MIDI events dialog opens.
4 Choose the desired settings in the Copy MIDI Events dialog:
 Mode 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 towards 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: These enable 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: When set to on, a new MIDI region is created at the destination
position. It contains the copied (or moved) events.
