Hello,
I'm trying to setup a nice working environment and would love some advice. DP is not my first DAW, so I dont know if what I want to do is even possible, so I'll post what I want and hopefully some kind soul can guide me?
I have two monitors. On my main monitor I have it setup to show me the tracks view and sequence view in a single snapped window, and whenever I double click on an audio track in the tracks view, my sequence view jumps right to this track. AWESOME!
I'd like to do a similar thing with MIDI, and have my MIDI editor full screen on my 2nd monitor, and have it so whenever I select a MIDI track it will update my MIDI editor on this full screen to show only these tracks in the MIDI editor. For example, if I select my Violin 1 track in the tracks view, the MIDI editor will update to show only the violin MIDI data. If I select both Violin 1 and violin 2, it will update to show both.
Is this possible? Right now I have the track selector open in my MIDI editor window and I'm manually selecting the ones I want to see, which becomes a bit tedious. I'd love it if it could function just like the tracks and sequence windows with audio, where if I double click on a MIDI track (or region) it will automatically update the MIDI editor window I have open on my 2nd monitor to show the highlighted track(s). Currently if I double click MIDI regions this produces a new separate window.
Thanks for any advice you can provide, and hopefully I did an ok job explaining what I'm looking to achieve.
edit: I guess basically what I'm looking for is the functionality of Consolidated windows but across two monitors.

Re: DP, Dual monitors, and selecting MIDI advice
Figured it out - If I stet the Preferences -> MIDI Editing -> Open one MIDI Editor for each sequence with all MIDI tracks, and I undock the MIDI editor for the consolidated window and put it on my 2nd monitor, it now makes it so whatever I double click on MIDI wise shows up in the MIDI editor on my 2nd monitor! AWESOME!!
