Right-click-option to delete deactivated midi-notes

Post by vido » Tue Nov 14, 2017 12:54 pm

When marking all midi-notes (or just some) I'd like the possibility of deleting all marked notes that are deactivated, so that un-deactivated notes are not deleted. This would make it much easier/faster to make variations.
Collab with Jeremy Blake of Red Means Recording:

Not the usual stuff.

Adding to this, I notice when you extract a chain from a drum rack, it activates all the midi notes despite whether they were deactivated previously. Would be great if you could retain those selections when extracting chains. And also have the ability to delete all deactivated midi notes as discussed here.

Or at least some way to select and highlight all of them. Then one press of the delete key.

Some low hanging fruit right there! Would be great to do all sorts of special selections to save time.

Exactly this. How annoying to do a bunch of flow-programming (deactivating notes) and then have to make sure you manually delete all the deactivated notes before running 'extract chain', otherwise you realize too late that you've added all the notes back 8O
