Extracting MIDI Automation

You can convert continuous controllers of your recorded MIDI parts into MIDI track automation data, so that you can edit them in the Project window.

Procedure

  1. Select the MIDI part that contains the continuous controller data.
  2. Select MIDI > Functions > Extract MIDI Automation.

Result

In the Project window, an automation track is created for each of the continuous controllers in the MIDI part.

In the MIDI editors, the controller data is removed from the controller lane.

Note

This only works for continuous controllers. Data such as Aftertouch, Pitchbend, or SysEx cannot be converted to MIDI track automation data.

MIDI controller automation is also affected by the Automation Merge Mode.
