Song Editor: Track Functions
Erase
This function erases specified events from a region of time, but it doesn’t delete the region of
time. The result is like erasing a section of recording tape. If you want to completely remove a
segment and shorten the length of the track, you can do it with the Delete function.
Copy
Use the Copy function to duplicate the selected events from the current track and place them in
the same track or on another track, either merging with or overwriting existing data.
If you do not want to copy all of the MIDI events in the defined range of time on the current track,
use the Events parameter in the Region/Criteria box to select a specific MIDI event type you
would like the edit function to affect. Some event types provide you more criteria selection
parameters. It is often a good idea to set Events to
Notes
when copying, and then add any
necessary controller or other data to the track at a later time.
DstTrack
: 1 to 16 / All
Select a destination track for the copied events with the DstTrack parameter. All selected events
described in the Region/Criteria box will be placed in the destination track(s) at any Bar and Beat
you specify.
If the currently selected track is All tracks then the destination track will be All tracks as well.
No matter what channel the current track (source track) is set to when you use the copy function,
the events will be played on the destination track’s channel.

Ticks
Specify a bar, beat, and tick location in the destination track where the copied data will be placed
with the Location parameter. If the length of the copied region extends from the Location point
beyond the song’s existing End point, a new End point is defined.
