Editing midid notes after consolidating to new scene

Post by Ste_clectic » Wed Dec 21, 2016 10:32 pm

I'm putting together my band's first ever live set. I've used the 'Consolidate Time to New Scene' function to split my arrangement up into separate scenes in Session View - This is a great function as all automation is captured within each clip.

The problem with this function is that once the clips are in Session View you cannot edit the midi notes. I would like to delete all midi notes on the synth parts but keep the automation envelopes - that way, we can play our synths without having to worry about automation.

Our tracks are quite automation heavy - I really don't want to have to go recreate all automation within dummy clips.

Does anyone know of a better way to approach this?

In the clip view click the Show/Hide Envelopes Box that you see in the bottom right here:

Not so hard to delete notes now, is it? 8)
