DOES LOGIC HAVE THIS MIDI FEATURE? Will save me lots of time

Hey everyone,

Hoping this midi technique exists.

If I have a midi part that is playing triplets , let's say d,e,a repeatedly for a couple of bars (by feel , not robotic)

then I think of a harmony line, that will also be a triplet that just repeats...and I want the harmony line to be exactly synced to the original line..

is there a shortcut other than manually adjusting the notes?

Hi,

You can save the first part as a groove preset by selecting it and using the quantize menu on the inspector. Then you can apply that to the new parts.

you could, in the piano roll, highlight all the notes in one phrase, then option-drag to where the harmony is (ie up a fifth); this would copy the original notes. then you could, for example, click on the left in the piano roll (where the keyboard is), click on a note that you want to, for example, move up a half-step (if u need this); that will highlight that note across the phrase, and you can click and drag one of them up (or down); the other same notes will follow.

endless possibilities. you can slightly move the new line in time. you can do it again, and make another harmony.

and so on (& probably someone here could have explained that in less sentences)
