Does anyone know how to separate a track into different tracks.
For Example....
I recorded a drum beat using kd, sd, hh, clap, ohh, and tom all on one track. Is there a way to assign each instrument to it's own track without having to copy and paste a hundred times. Thanks. sp

hey sp4166,

in a word no':?',
just copy your tracks as needed,then delete unwanted notes using the erase key.

i guess you got your "invailid directory" prolem sorted?

yes, i had to reformat my hd. Now everything seems to being working
ok, so far. You really can't trust any machine , you've got to backup
everything.

move the cursor to track, press 'WINDOW' key, press 'SEPERATE' and 'do it' will seperate a track to 16 other MIDI channels.

Is this what you want?

sorry to hear that sp4166,

ikke wouldnt it make sense if there was also a seperate by note function as well?

i forgot ya can also highlight a selection and push "copy" then "copy to"(F3)
and select desired seq ,track ,paste point,event,mode,copies.

I was in the middle of a paying session didnt have much time to indi. copy and paste

So what I did was just copied each track (say I had a snare kick hat) per how many times I wanted to seperate it(in this case x3 one extra incase I **** up) after that I just mass erased the other notes, took like 1min, I was happy so was the customer :)

when I separate the track by midi notes , it just puts all the instruments on one track. I wish there was a way to separate a track?
