Subject:split midi tracks Posted by: beeb Date:10/30/2002 4:04:21 AM Hi all- any one know if acid can take a midi track that has say, bass, drums and other instruments and split them into new dedicated tracks for each instrument? Cakewalk has this and i believe its just called "midi split" or something like that. i couldn't any reference to this in help. A work around is to copy midi track one time for each instrument and then mute unwanted out but this gets old and eats a lot of screen real estate. thanks for any info! -B

You can use something like Stolen Tracks to do it, but I haven't been able to figure out how to make ST work on more than one track at a time. Meaning I can do it faster in Harmony Assistant by making copies of a file and deleting staves. But I know splitting out to channels can be done, because in n-Track Studio, when I import a midi file with multiple voice lines, it automatically splits it into separate tracks corresponding to the separate midi channels. Could be that, in Acid, you wouldn't want that to happen automatically all the time, but it sure would be nice to be able to apply midi split to a track and have it just do the whole nine yards in one fell swoop.

Not likely that Acid can do this as Acid is not meant to be a MIDI sequencer/editor and only offers limited tools to work on the MIDI files directly. This is by design so I don't know what you can expect in the future. Cakewalk had a CAL script that could do it. If you have Cakewalk, do it in there. TeeCee
Subject:RE: split midi tracks Reply by: Laurence Date:10/30/2002 12:08:07 PM I've had no problem doing this. I just open the complete midi sequence on as many tracks as I want to separate to. Then I go into the midi mixer view on each track, select the tracks one at at time on the mixer page and delete with the "x" delete key. Now combining tracks is a little trickier... Laurence Kingston
