De Flam, it sounds like a neat thing, but it's not giving results. I highlight a group of MIDI notes on a track, that haven't been quantized, choose de flam, and nothing moves to the "average" attack time... Any ideas??

this has been broken for a while. it used to work way back when.

Really? Thats odd... So DP 4.61 or 4.52, the deflam dosn't work? I want my money back!!!

Deflam works perfectly in 4.12, 4.52, 4.6 and 4.61.
Deflam is a feature that simple lines up the onset of any notes highlighted within a certain range. This range is set in the deflam box. I use ticks.

I use deflam all the time. For instance, you can play three flute parts all in one MIDI track, then use "split notes" to copy the bottom or top note of the chords highlighted and move them to a different track, ie. flute 2 then flute 3.

In the split notes window, you select top or bottom note, (there are other options too) and you can also set it up so that when you split the flute parts it will automatically place the bottom or top notes into a designated MIDI track. You can also set it up so that if you are removing the bottom notes it will automaticaly delete them from the original track. This might sound a bit confusing, but before you can use the "split notes" you must use the deflam feature first, otherwise if the notes are not all together perfectly, (and I mean perfectly) DP will not recognize these notes as a chord.
Set up a shortcut like I did, (D) for deflam, and then a shortcut for split notes (command /) it's super fast.

you're absolutely right, dpDan. for some reason i was thinking deflam was the same as remove duplicates. recently i tried using it to delete notes recorded one on top of another. to my surprise (and apparent stupidity) it didn't work!

Thanks DP Dan, I will give that a shot. It's sounds alot like Quantizing though (as far as lining up). But I know in the manual it speaks of averages.

Quantizing changes the note's start time relative to the grid.

Deflam changes a collection of (selected) notes' start times relative to each other.

Spikey Horse is right too,
I'm just glad to help
