I need to split a MIDI track into multiple tracks. The track has 4 parts, as in a horn section, but my VI only plays solo. Is there a plugin that can do this? Or some "magic" selection tool in DP that will allow me to "select" highest note, cut, paste, etc., repeat...
Thanks in advance.

Re: Splitting MIDI track
Thanks for that, looks like what I need, BUT it doesn't seem to be working correctly. The chords in the original are quantized, so they are precisely on the same "tick", yet when I use split "top 1 note of each chord", the resulting new track has all 4 notes, the original is left empty. No other criteria was specified.philbrown wrote:Region>Split Notes
I was using DP9, so I'm going back to 8.07 and see if it's the same.

Sounds like a bug. I never use that so I wouldn't know.cleamon wrote:Thanks for that, looks like what I need, BUT it doesn't seem to be working correctly.

Re: Splitting MIDI track
Ok got it. Even though in the event list, all of my notes were EXACTLY on the same tick (i.e. 1:1:000) , apparently they were not. I used Region->DeFlam, then tried the region->Split, and it worked fine.philbrown wrote:Sounds like a bug.
