When multiple instruments are shown in the Key Editor, you can copy MIDI points from the primary instrument to secondary instruments. You can copy only individual points and regions, or all points belonging to the primary instrument in the selected flow.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Key Editor is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • You have added at least one MIDI CC or MIDI Pitch Bend editor to the Key Editor.

  • Multiple instruments are shown in the Key Editor.

Procedure

  1. Optional: If you want to sync individual MIDI points or regions only, click Sync Region in the Key Editor panel toolbar to select Sync Region.
  2. In the MIDI CC or MIDI Pitch Bend editor, do one of the following:
    • To copy individual MIDI points or regions, click each MIDI point and region, or click and drag across multiple MIDI points and regions.

    • To copy all MIDI points in the current flow, click Sync in the editor header.

Result

The corresponding MIDI points are copied from the primary instrument to secondary instruments, and become editable for all instruments shown in the Key Editor.

Existing MIDI points in the affected regions belonging to secondary instruments are overwritten.

Tip

When multiple instruments are shown in the Key Editor, you can input MIDI points for all instruments directly.
