audio to MIDI regions?

[rootstudio]

i made tiny snips in some audio material and use them repetitively as in loop making. in order to not burn a hole into the sectors of my disk where this stuff is located, i thought it would be a perfect opportunity to load these snippets into nanosampler or some virtual sample player.

now for the question - can i somehow copy the attack or hit points of the audio regions and make a MIDI track from them or do i need to recreate all that stuff from scratch for the MIDI track?

thanks,

I've never done this so I don't know how well it would work, but if you go in the Sequence Editor and change the Audio Edit Layer for the MONO audio track from Soundbite to Pitch and set the Pitch Mode to instrument, I'm pretty sure you can multi-select and copy the pitch points and paste them into a MIDI track where they'll show up as notes. Since you're using short loops, I don't think it would be that hard to do. You'll have to adjust velocities and all that stuff later.

i'll be darned - that worked! i couldn't find where to set the pitch mode to instrument, but it worked anyway. learned something new on top - i didn't know i can change to pitch in the audio events using that mini menu! very cool!

thanks,
