ski Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 After writing my string part in a 5-stave polyphonic score (taking up a single track in the Arr. window), I decided to separate the parts using the demix by event channel function so that I'd end up with separate tracks, one per part (violin 1, violin 2, viola, cello, bass). I was expecting to end up with 5 separated tracks, but instead I ended up with 6 tracks: 5 tracks of notes, and one track containing all of the meta events. Since the meta events have associated channel numbers (ch. 1 = staff 1, ch. 2 = staff 2, and so on), I thought they would also be separated along with the notes, but that didn't happen. Is it supposed to? I could swear in a previous version of Logic that demixing by event channel included meta events... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 The Meta events are not demixed (unfortunately) but stay in the MIDI Region containing the Channel 1 events. That's always been my experience, although I've probably never tried to demix Region with Meta events before version 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's always been my experience, although I've probably never tried to demix Region with Meta events before version 7. Thanks for the speedy reply! I'm finding different behavior from what you described... The meta events end up in a wholly separate track from the Ch. 1 note/controller/blah events. Could you confirm? I'm on 7.1.1 Cheers!

David Nahmani Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 The behavior I'm having in 7.1.1 and in 7.2.1 is that all Meta Events go in the MIDI Region that has all other MIDI Cha 1 events. If the original Region did not contain any MIDI Cha 1 events then the Meta Events get their own region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 After reading your reply I just did a test, and after doing a demix by event channel, I end up with 6 tracks as originally described: one with all meta events on a variety of channels, 5 tracks of separated MIDI data. Why do you think there's a discrepancy between the behaviors we're seeing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 If your original MIDI Region doesn't have any MIDI Cha1 events then we're seeing the same behavior. If your MIDI Region does have Cha1 events, then... huh.... I'm not sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 PS: on Score symbols, the Meta Event Cha # is actually the staff number in your Score style. So on a piano lower staff, a score symbol would be Cha 2, on the upper staff, Cha 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
