Duplicate Notes

[John Do]

What's the best way to check for duplicate note events in the Matrix Editor so you can delete any dups? Ex: if you happen to copy and paste a chord on to itself uknowingly.

It's from the Arrange page, but it does the trick.

 

From the Logic 7 Manual (p 42):

 

Deleting Doubled Events

Events duplicated at the same bar position may be deleted by selecting MIDI > Erase MIDI Events > Duplicates. Doubled events may have different second data bytes (velocity, aftertouch or controller values); Logic only looks at the event type and position, when determining whether or not two or more events are “duplicated”.

 

You can also open the Event Viewer and see if there are obvious duplicates as well.

LW, I didn't know that this function is available in the Arr. window. Cool! But FWIW, the matrix, score, and event editors all offer the "delete duplicate events" function as well. It's also available as a key command.

Thanks!
