Recording MIDI Control Change Messages as Note Expression Data

You can record MIDI control change messages as note expression data.

Procedure

  1. In the Inspector, open the Note Expression section and activate MIDI as Note Expression.
  2. Optional: Set the MIDI track to Any channel.

    MIDI control change messages, with the exception of poly pressure, are channel-specific. By splitting polyphony to separate channels, you can avoid conflicting controller messages.

  3. Enter the notes and control change messages on your MIDI device.

Result

The controller data is now associated with the notes. If you copy, paste and move the notes, the associated controller data will follow.

Note

If you want to edit the MIDI notes after recording, you might need to consolidate the controller data.
