#HOW TO COPY NOTES IN FL STUDIO 12 FULL#
I also use full song length midi items so that I've got "Track Based Midi". I don't have any problems with channels either, because I use separate midi tracks for each instrument. My biggest gripe is how hard it is to actually get the controllers to copy & paste when I want to do so, there's a few extra steps involved. I don't think I've had any problems by copying/pasting like you seem to have. Sometimes, many times actually, there are notes that you don't want to have playing, I just mute those notes in that case, they are easy to mute and unmute. Once I've checked it out and made a decision, I'll tidy things up. That way any changes I make will not affect the other tracks. In a case like this, I usually just duplicate the whole track and work at it from that angle.

I run into this occasionally, although it appears this is more of a routine for you Michael. This is fine for cutting and pasting, but for true copying I'll need to figure something else out. By changing the channel and velocity of the instrument I'm copying from, I'm obviously altering it to conform to the one I'm pasting to. (Once you have set up the MIDI track controls as you like it, you can save the track as a track template.)Īctually, there's a problem with this. To mimic SONAR's per-track MIDI settings, you can use ReaControlMIDI as an FX, and if you prefer to see these settings in the track control panels, you can link ReaControlMIDI's parameters to visible track controls. The properties of the note events are overridden by these track settings. In SONAR, the track control panels in the arrange view provide various MIDI settings, such as patch, bank, transpose, velocity+, etc, which REAPER does not (REAPER only provides the basic pan/volume/etc). I suspect that the problem does not lie in the notes' own properties, but rather in other settings that differ between the tracks. The channels get changed, along with velocities and volume.Ĭould you perhaps give some more details or a GIF of the problem? When notes are copied between tracks in the MIDI editor using the standard copy/paste, the channels and velocities should remain at the original values. Velocity, channel, and volume settings get messed up, so that my East West strings are suddenly way too loud, or too soft. Surely, this has to be possible somehow?īut I've run into a major problem: Whenever I do that, various settings get changed. But I didn't see any way to just copy notes and paste them to a different track, without altering these other settings. I know you have to customize in Reaper, and I spent hours last night looking at various actions. Why can't I just copy and paste notes, without changing all the other stuff? If no fix is possible, I don't see how I can continue using Reaper.

But for someone who does it constantly, it's a huge problem. The channels get changed, along with velocities and volume.įor someone who doesn't do a lot of this sort of thing, this may not look like much of a problem. But I've run into a major problem: Whenever I do that, various settings get changed. I do a lot of copy/paste of midi, as I move stuff around to test whether something sounds better on the horns vs trombones, e.g, or to see if it sounds better on East West violins vs Cinematic Strings. I've tried posting this in the general forum, but maybe I should look for help here in the Midi forum:
