Copy Paste MIDI without deleting overlapping data

Post by berlinpigeon »

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone can tell me how I can copy paste MIDI data in the Sequence Editor without deleting already existing MIDI data that overlaps with the copied data. Sounds easy, but I can't figure out! Any help is very appreciated! Thanks! C

Make selection -> copy -> make selection in destination -> merge.

I use Command-m (merge) pretty often as part of the pasting fun. Definitely one of the handiest of commands.
