Can't copy or paste MIDI files

Post by happymoogman »

Help.

I must have hit the wrong keys on my keyboard or something, because suddenly I'm unable to copy or paste any MIDI files. That includes making repeats. Its hard to see on the photo I'm including the link to, but preferences under "Edit" are grayed out, including: Paste Repeat, Repeat, etc.
When I try and copy a MIDI section, parts of that file disappear, and when I paste into a new file, its missing parts from the original.

I'm using version 9.01

Help!

No, I cannot. If I try to copy and past a MIDI section anywhere, it only pastes random MIDI notes.
I can record MIDI just fine, and it plays fine that way.
Just no copying, dubbing on top of, or merging MIDI....

Arghhh! Help.
