transpose midi clips?

Post by benjamingordon » Sat Oct 30, 2010 1:50 pm

hi. i have to create many midi clips all with different notes. is there anyway to transpose up octaves easily from within the clip itself?

i know i could do it manually but if theres a shortcut ill take it..

From within the clip, select all then hold shift and press the up arrow. This will move all selected midi notes up 12 semitones (1 octave).

Or, you could just place a midi pitch plugin before the instrument the midi clip is playing.

holding down shift with the up or down arrow on selected notes will move the notes up or down an octave.


check out 10.4 Editing MIDI of the user manual.

if you hold down shift + up or down key, Move the notes up or down an octave. Read chapter 10.4, Editing MIDI in the user manual.
