tracks and multiple single-channel tracks. Both of these functions use the
clipboard as the intermediary step in the conversion.

Combine allows you to
free up tracks by converting
multiple tracks into a single
multichannel track.
The new multichannel track can
be routed externally or can
control MIDI channels 1B-16B.
This function takes all selected tracks (selected by pressing the flashing mute
keys) , combines them into a single multichannel track and transfers them
to the clipboard, overwriting any previous clipboard data.
Note that any A/B channel routing will be lost, although the 16 channel
assignments will be preserved. Merging 02A, 04B, 13A will result in channel
2, 4, and 13 transmitting on the port (A or B) already assigned to the track
that you paste into.
Explode Tracks
This function takes multichannel data on the clipboard and divides it up by
MIDI channel over all existing tracks, mixing with any data already there.
Channel 1 will go to track 1, channel 2 to track 2, etc. This is the case even
if the track routings do not match. (i.e. if track 7 is assigned to channel 3).
