Extract MIDI Automation

This is an extremely useful function as it allows you to quickly and easily convert the continuous controllers of your recorded MIDI parts into MIDI track automation data, making them available for editing in the Project window.

Procedure

  1. Select the desired MIDI part containing the continuous controller data.
  2. On the MIDI menu, open the Functions submenu and select “Extract MIDI Automation”.
  3. In the Project window, open the automation tracks for the respective MIDI track. You will find that an automation track has been created for each of the continuous controllers in the part.

Result

Note

In the MIDI editors, the controller data will automatically be removed from the controller lane.

This function can only be used for continuous controllers. Data such as Aftertouch, Pitchbend, or SysEx cannot be converted to MIDI track automation data.

Note

MIDI controller automation is also affected by the Automation Merge Mode.
