I'm seriously intrigued about the cubase chord track feature. I can't bring myself to buy cubase just for that though.

I re-found the links that showed me how to do this in the Transform Window of Logic:

I've got to run to my gig now so probably won't have a chance to resurrect my MIDI transform presets until next weekend, as the work week will be super-intense (more so than usual).

Right so that is actually the hard way, based on older version of logic. That is inside the "environment". As I was saying earlier, the environment is NOT a global thing, it's an attribute of a project file. There are no presets for it and it's not saved in a way that works across projects globally. So if you open an old saved project that we're doing this before, it will be there. You can import specific things from one project to another, including items from the environment.

Under LPX there is a much easier way to do this though with the "modifier" MIDI plugin on the track you want and you can save settings on that plugin as presets which you easily call up in future projects, but it's so simple to do this I don't think you will care.

Thanks; that sort of wisdom and knowledge is hard to find in web searches. I didn't realize those recommendations were old and that there are newer/leaner ways to accomplish these things.

I'll follow your other advice then, as this old way with the Transform tool is awfully complicated and doesn't even do everything I need, as it also converts Note Off Velocity. So I have lots of editing still, after the conversion process.

Oh yeah, I also now remember that I probably still have my presets after all. I had forgotten that I saved a template project to use for this purpose. That's what happens when I don't do something for 6-9 months, and it's something that is counter-intuitive and/or undocumented. I obviously had learned of the volatility earlier and made a template project to get around the problem.

Yeah; sure enough, my MIDI Transport presets are still there if I open my MIDI Conversion Template project in Logic.

So, I had simply forgotten as it had been so long. And I don't see any MIDI plug-ins, but this is an empty project and I'm super-tired after a six hour gig so don't have the energy to open a MIDI file and see if it causes other choices to show up in the main menu or the context popup menus.
