Another possibility: Adjust Beats to transients, then use the long-MIDI-note plus scissors and beat grid to create a series of grid-length notes located on those beats. Throw out the ones you don't want.
I guess there's just not an easy way to do it, Robert.

Beats to MIDI, is it possible?

Hmm... using the beat grid. I didn't think of incorporating that yet.
I will find a relatively easy way of doing this!

Re: Beats to MIDI, is it possible?
As I recall you can do this with DP as well? I think you go into the Sequence Editor, choose the Pitch display and then there's a way to select the superimposed notes and drag them to an audio track. As I recall, anyway. Never tried it.David Polich wrote:But...you can convert audio to MIDI data, using Melodyne. Process the track with Melodyne. Afterwards, you can export the processed track as MIDI. It works great.

You can copy/paste them to a MIDI track. Or maybe drag & drop. Seems like I tried it once just as a proof of concept, and it worked.

Re: Beats to MIDI, is it possible?
You can copy PureDSP pitch data to a MIDI track easily.
The issue is that the pitch detection doesn't work on percussive material very well. I've found somewhat of a workaround, but it's clunky and I'm working on it.

Re: Beats to MIDI, is it possible?
Just an update, waiting on a bug or two to get fixed before doing a tutorial on this. The best method that I've found so far involves 2 bugs that are in all 9.x versions.
So for now, back to fiddling with trigger plugins and automating individual notes.
