Any way to reverse a MIDI clip?

Post by OvertoneZero » Thu Feb 07, 2008 5:50 am

Anyone know some cut and paste or other magic to reverse a MIDI clip?

(same basic effect as the 'Rev' button on audio clip)



Thanks

select all notes,
right mouse click in the editor,
choose "Stretch Notes",
drag the right marker to the left, the left marker to the right..

There is a button you can press to reverse midi - not sure if this is new in Ableton but it is under "Notes" when in clip view under where you can either double or half the length of the midi clip :)

yes, you are right. highlight the notes you want reversed, then to the left in the Notes column hit Rev for reverse, or Inv for inverse or Legato for Legato or Dupl Region to copy that section to a later one
