Sy_Mercade Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hi, I was wondering, is there any feature in Logic that will allow me to split one midi note into even subdivisions, so I don't have to draw them out and remember where the 1 long midi note started and everything? I haven't even gotten started on the topic of MIDI filter/automations/events, it looks really confusing, so I just wanted to know if anyone already knew how to do this. I find I could make a lot of use of this tool. I was disappointed when the scissors tool didn't work to split a MIDI note, so I'd like to know if there is one. Thanks! EDIT: I just found out the scissor does work on the midi notes....sometimes...might have something to do with my trackpad. Sometimes it divides it, and sometimes it just deselects it. So now the goal is to find something along the lines of an automation that splits the note among the grid. Then you can simply glue back together the pieces you didn't want divided. That seems faster then manually splitting a really long note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The only workaround I know for a "divide multiple" of a MIDI note is to use Option-scissors on the region in the Arrange area. Option-scissors creates multiple cuts, and cutting the region cuts the notes that are inside. You can then merge the regions (Region > Merge > Regions), leaving you with your original region and multiple MIDI notes inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Mercade Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hey David I'll give that a try. Also the scissors thing is getting really annoying. I'm definitely clicking the note the right way, but it always gives me a 50/50 chance of cutting or de/selecting the note. Am I doing it wrong? EDIT: Disregard that, I realized you have to click with the top of the cursor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksimon Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yay! This has been fixed/implemented in 10.1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unheardofski Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yay! This has been fixed/implemented in 10.1! Where ? I think I looked in every possible menu but can't find it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It's not a menu item. You must option-cut (scissors) a note in the piano roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dupont Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Why not use the new paint tool at disposal wih 10.1 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Why not use the new paint tool at disposal wih 10.1 ? Because the paint tool cannot divide one note in multiples? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
