Ableton Forum

Dear Ableton, can you please implement a feature where where with a threshold knob, it hides/ deletes all the notes below a certain threshold/ closeness, so a row of say 32nd notes jumbled together with a vel. of 10 would be deleted, but the 2 1/8 or 1/16 notes spaced apart with a velocity of 120 are still there

Please, it would make cleaning up midi drums alot quicker

You could use the Velocity MIDI effect, set it to gate, set minimum velocity that will pass through the gate, and then record the MIDI to another channel, paste the recorded clip to the original position and then simply deactivate Velocity.

I've used this myself when converting Audio-to-MIDI and it does remove a lot of the noise and harmonics that the converter seems to pick up, leaving you with the actual notes that you wanted.

With regards to the endless 32nd notes from the same conversion, I've had to go through manually and alter the lengths as it often appears to create new notes from even the slightest pitch and modulation fluctuations.

I think that being able to set thresholds on the Audio-to-MIDI converter itself (e.g. minimum velocity threshold, note duration, etc), or at least separate algorithms for different types of material (beyond drums, melody and harmony) would help.
